[The main course. What what.]Our first night in Italy (yes, yes, I do realize I'm on Day 5 here, but we've been a tad busy), Dr. C. brought us to this hole-in-the-wall restaurant whose name escapes me since I had not slept for thirty-six hours by that point. The twenty-some-odd of us crammed into one of its two rooms and ate like gods. It is possible that delirium contributed to the deliciousness, but I doubt it.
The Menu:
-pecorino cheese (three different kinds) drizzled with honey, bread, salami, prosciutto, capcalla (TOTALLY didn't spell that correctly), and wild boar salami
-bruschetta (bread with olive oil and seasoned tomatoes) and bread with Tuscan white beans
-ravioli: spinach and sheep's milk cheese
-homemade spaghetti-like noodles that were thick and slightly al dente in a homemade meat, broth-like sauce
-radicchio in a vinegary sauce
-baked seasoned tomatoes
-rare beef with rosemary and other seasonings that I could not identify but were definitely delicious
-biscotti (almond-orange flavored), dipped in sweet wine
[Kevin, whose blissful look says it all.]If I was a truly despicable person who had no desire to maintain any of my friendships, I would tell you that it's been in the 70s and sunny every single day, but I won't because I love you all and that would just be plain old mean, especially seeing as Putnam Valley is expecting rain.
