In the 2 days that we toured Rome, it seemed that Gelato made the biggest impression on the kids. We managed to have it 6 times. Amelia is all about Nutella and Q, Limone. They are now considering themselves connoisseurs and applying their expertise in Croatia.

In fact, my kids who could live on PTerry’s have been much more adventurous on our travels. Who knew that Q would love black cuttlefish risotto or order fish soup, staples of every Croatian menu.

The trick is figuring out how we get them to branch out at home. I think that the answer is that I need to learn to cook and cook with the kids.
