Thanks for all your thoughtful replies to the video clip about the cobbler in Orvieto and the plight of artisans in our modern world. The video was produced by Steven Brenner, and receiving it from him reminded me of a different, yet equally creative, effort from Steve.
This little clip shows how my evil twin tried to get away with putting Parmesan cheese on spaghetti with clams. Fortunately, he was scuttled by three little members of Rome’s heroic food police.

Rick/Nick,
I loved it! The girls are fabulous, especially the youngest! Good use of the Ramones.
Rick, this cute video makes me want to go to Roma very badly and eat a real Italian restaurant.

I had a run in with the food police in Paris. I ordered bifteck aux pomme frites with a glass of white wine. The waiter said,”non” and walked away.
You learn as you go sometimes.

“The waiter said,”non” and walked away.” Too funny, Sherry! (Did that waiter look like Nick?)
When eating at an Italian restaurant in London this past May, the waiter would not give me parmessan for my Linquine and clams. I truly never knew it was a no no! I am Italian and been to Italy three times.
That was so cute.
I hate to say in Jan when in Rome I had spaghetti alla vongole and put cheese on my clams! It seemed like the waiter was putting cheese on everybody’s food so I got some too. Oops.
