After a whole day out and about in Modena we came home ready to cook dinner. We had gone to Pam, our local supermartket, that morning to get clams. The fishmongers were nowhere to be seen at the markets but because we’re in Italy the supermarket had the exact clams that the recipe called for – Vongole Veraci.
I took a quick nap and sent Randy out to find bread and white wine (he volunteered!). Following his return he had to run back out to get a bottle opener, following this return he had to run back out to get some tomatoes since the lamb lettuce we had bought on Monday had already started to wilt. At 31 you think i would know if tomatoes had an e in it or not, but I still need to look it up every time, thanks Dan Quayle.
We finally got all we needed and we started making our linguine with clams. We got it all in the pot and it looked amazing boiling away. 
I made a salad with just the tomatoes, basil, olive oil and the balsamic we had just bought in Modena. I’ve never had balsamic that tasted that sweet! 
The pasta was delicious as well and didn’t last very long.
Tomorrow is already our last day in Bologna. Time goes by fast when you’re eating great food!
