Foodtopia Moments

Knowing my cugino (cousin) was coming by tonight, we stopped at a place this morning and picked up some almond paste cookies. It was an assortment, and each one was better than the last. When my cousin Renato arrived, he brought over some meat filled pastries from a Bar Biri in San Severo. Some of the pastries had meat and capers. Some were filled with salami. And some were like pigs in a blanket, but make with a pastry crust, not something bread-like or dense. The meat pastries were very light and flaky.
