Thanks for the post jjrocks. What was the dinner beyond the bread/wine? I see some pesto in a jar and some pasta, but I imagine there was a feast....

I wish. What you see is what we ate, most likely. It was toward the end of a few weeks traveling, so cash shortages had us living cheaply. Although, considering there were times when it was just wine and bread, this probably felt somewhat like a feast in that moment. I don't clearly remember, but that would explain why I took a picture.

Anyway, I've thoroughly enjoyed perusing these photo challenge threads and contributing when possible. So I'd also like to thank you for the post(s), thenewgreen. Also, time permitting, I'll be trying out your meatball recipe this weekend. The picture, praise, and ingredients made a nice three-pronged sales pitch. But I suppose that's what almost every food website listing does to appeal to people, so I guess the novel context got me more than anything.

Thanks jjrocks for that, it was nice of you to acknowledge the effort it takes to put these things together. Good luck with the meatballs, be sure to check out the link to the video where I sourced the recipe. It's a nice instructional video, easy to follow. They really are delicious.

I've enjoyed your photos. Keep them coming!
