I just received my November issue of Cooking Light. There is a very nice article on Rome in this issue. FYI for any lover of Rome as I am. Please disregard this information if it has already been mentioned here!

I didn't know, so I'm glad you posted. I should really subscribe, but I do get a discount from my employer by buying it as it comes out. (My employer is a retailer of books & magazines.

Thanks, aj!
