Food...

I thought I'd post something on the food we're eating.

First off, the Italians are not big on breakfast, so it's a hard sell.  Couple that with some recent science showing that dark chocolate is good for you, and presto...

Chocolate-laced muesli...perfect.

Actually, we make the chocolate-laced muesli perfect by mixing it with coffee yoghurt...I kid you not.

We found curry sauce today...yeah.  It had eluded our ability to find it by carefully being placed where you would not think to look.

The "Calve" was bottom shelf, with HP Sauce, and Lea and Perrins sauce (I was struggling to spell Worcestershire...), which actually makes some sense (being that curry is British, right?).  

The "Salsa Indiana" was right next to the mayonnaise, different aisle.

The "Uncle Ben's Tikka Marsala" was with the Mexican salsa.

I'm glad we figured out Italian marketing.

We've become quite enamored with the salami here.  Danika even likes it.  We try and buy local Umbrian salami if we can...none of that Tuscan or Neopolitan rubbish.

This is our favorite sauce for pasta.  It's just tomato and basil.  But it is so rich and tasty that I could open a restaurant serving just this and people would love it.

We broke down and bought a tostapane today.  In case you're wondering, it has little grabbing baskets in which you place your bread to toast.  Once it's done, you can lift the whole thing out.  No more knives in the toaster.  I'm seriously considering bringing the grabbing baskets back to the US for our toaster.

Cheers,

David
