...ships of the desert bunk down in the suburbs, where Frontier Camels runs its Take a Camel to Dinner tour, which includes an hour-long ramble to a rustic restaurant and camel museum; click on cameltours.com.au for more info. The menu features excellent kangaroo sausage and bush tomato pesto, along with a selection of camel cuts. Despite my growing affection for the ungainly beasts, I must admit that smoked camel goes down well with a fine Australian Shiraz...
...mother one scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel gift season. I actually wore it recently, at home over Thanksgiving break while assessing the soup potential of the turkey carcass. I could tell that no one else had worn or washed the apron since early September because a pesto stain still covered the “Ch” in “Happy Chanukah.” I thought briefly about making that pesto again before coming back to school, because my parents’ Cuisinart makes food processing such a pleasure.

I know this is sort of an alarming thing to say; however much olive oil I use in place of butter to create healthy meals, the root of my love...
While the bulk of each ticket’s cost ($49) evidently doesn’t go towards food, the meal isn’t bad. French bread and an iceberg lettuce salad accompany entrees including lasagna, baked ziti and pastas with pesto cream, marinara and Italian sausage sauces. A chicken dish in a wine-based cream sauce—not, as one would typically expect, a cream-based wine sauce—was especially good. The ample portions should be more than enough to satisfy most, but chocolate “wedding cake” is served after...
...close without notice if the owner is competing in a regatta. Though it has no view of the port, La Concordia on Via del Fondaco is a favorite of the locals. The restaurant at Hotel Splendido, high above the town, offers outdoor seating. Local specialties include pasta with pesto or with salsa di noce, a nut-based sauce. A meal with wine costs about $60 a person. Nobody cares what you wear...
