Vegetarian Giro d'Italia: Rest Days with Basso and Nibali

Veggin-bassonibbles_medium

Today's ending sprint took a lot out of me so Veggin' needs to take a rest day...or two. Besides, I can't start a 21 day race without keeping something in the reserves, eh?

Don't worry, my pals Basso and Nibali have been helping me out with the preparation of more recipes. (Our packed refrigerator can attest to this - eggplant, beans, pasta, pasta and more pasta!)

The Vegetarian Giro d'Italia will be back shortly. Stay tuned!

genius! I don’t think there’s much leather in sidi’s these days so they probably are vegetarian. perhaps we could refer it to the vegetartian society for confirmation?
