St. Louis Cuisine

My salad.

On our way home from Arizona, we have stopped for a brief visit with our relatives in suburban St. Louis. Last night, we had dinner at Giovanni's Kitchen. I had a delicious spinach salad with cheese, crisp bacon-y guanciale, and grapes. My second course was mezzemaniche alla puttanesca, described on the menu thus: "Large rigatoni pasta, San Marzano tomato sauce, olives, garlic and capers and red pepper tossed with Parmigiano Reggiano." I'm going to have to get the classic recipe for pasta puttanesca and try it at home!

Len's salad.

Ruby, Jay, and Carol's salad.

We are enjoying our stay with Ruby and Jay, including Carol who's also here for a few days. More to come about our trip to the St. Louis Art Museum!
