Aside from your sad misfortune, I hope you found your tortellini in brodo, because, as god created man, she did so, so that we might undertake a pilgrimage to Bologna, which created the true pasta experience, and it is tortellini in brodo. Nothing like it. Basta!

Hahah. When "she" did so. Great!

You can't leave us hanging like this, Eric! What did you finally end up having for lunch??

Haha. Inquiring minds want to know. Is the photo the tortellini you finally found?

You really made me laugh with this one! Great! Although I would love to discuss your declaration that Bologna is Italy's greatest food city, tortellini in brodo notwithstanding. When was the last time you were in Piemonte?

Yes, but did you buy any furniture.

Did you write this article to prove last week's point, that small stories are worthwhile and important??

Did you plan your trip specially to get the tortellini a brodo? Were you just there for lunch and then going on to Roma?
