A fantastic day of rest and relaxation , and letting the foot and knee heal, went to the local market and found all the ingredients for home made mostaccoili. Cooked up bacon bits, lots of minced garlic, white onion, roasted red , green, yellow peppers, mushrooms, green and black olives from the region, roasted whole tomatoes , artichoke hearts, sliced zucchini , salt pepper, herbs , all slowly simmered in wine and olive oil. Boiled the tube pasta, combined all together and added good amounts of parmigiana cheese, asiago cheese, and a local Spanish strong cheese. Mike and Monica from California brought wine ( 3 bottles ) and local fresh bread. The 6 of us ( PJ, Lisa, Stewart, Monica , Micheal, and myself stuffed ourselves, there was enough left over to share with a couple of pilgrams form Korea. A most relaxing day.
St. James watched over us.
