Visiting Casa Law- rence is, in itself, a writ- er's dream experience. It was the Italian home of the great D.H. Lawrence. He lived here with his lover while writing his novels. His bedroom has been kept as a museum with original writings. The rest of the farmhouse, turned into an exquisite restau- rant, serves homemade pastas, meats, cheeses, breads and wines that are all made from the gardens, orchards and livestock on the farm. My friend and I ate the best food of our lives in that farmhouse. We decided this must have been the owner's tactic to wear us down — the deli- ciousness making us vul- nerable to possibly say- ing "yes" to this terrifying post-dinner cheese. The owner was be- side himself with glee. I thought I might have been falling in love with him. Santa isn't this jolly of a person. He lifted the lid off a gooey substance. Immediately, maggots came flying out as if they were jumping to save their own lives — which, in fact, they may have been. It was like an explosion of fireworks. My friend and I screamed. The owner and interpreter laughed. Silver Compass Tours promised me an experi- ence I would not forget. It set me up with a person- al guide, an interpreter and a set of places to vis- it in order to woo me into joining the company. For years, it has given cul- tured food and wine tours of this region. The com- pany wanted me to join it to host a writers retreat in a thousand-year-old mon- astery this coming May. The views, the gelato, the people and this unspoiled, wild land had already sealed the deal for me. But I'm guessing the tour com- pany knew Casa Lawrence would be the icing on the cake — or maggot in the cheese, as it were. "But they can only do the retreat over Mother's Day," I said to my friend, unsure about the timing. She also has children and was the only one of my friends who had come for the Rome wedding to ac- company me on my ex- tended first-class journey. "Do you know what the boys made me for Moth- er's Day last year? Pan- cakes," she said. "That's sweet," I said. "Yeah, it was sweet, un- til I saw the flour was full of bugs. You're offering a Mother's Day when moms can decide for themselves if they want to eat maggots." We laughed, clinked spoons and dug in. Tiny insect larvae jumped off our spoons, onto the table and into our eyelashes as we swallowed the delicacy. Ping! Ping! We did not ask for sec- onds. The smiling owner offered us delicious wal- nut drinks to wash down the larvae. While my friend and I were texting last night, she said, "You know that's still my favorite story. Sometimes you gotta do something crazy for your- self. Life's about eating the worms before they're eat- ing you." I agree. Like Katiedid Langrock on Facebook, at www.face- book.com/katiedidhumor.
