As far as days go food wise, today was a great day. For
lunch, I made a quick sauce of fresh pomodorini (little tomatoes), cipolla
(onion), basilico (basil), and olio di oliva (olive oil), then I tossed in some
ditalini pasta and served with some grated grana padano cheese.
Then tonight at
the Santa Cristina festival, I had a piece of torcinello, which is a piece of
liver and spices wrapped in the veins of a cow and grilled. It is a local
delicacy and one I go for at least once a summer. I also had a panino kebab
(kebab sandwich) which is make of pork and chicken grilled like shwarma and
topped with pepperoni (peppers), funghi (mushrooms), melanzane (eggplant),
pomodori (tomatoes), and kebab sauce. It was delicious, and one of my three
favorite reasons for going to the festival. The other two are the shopping and
the fireworks. The last things that Mom and I both ate were crepes with Nutella
and peanuts. It was the perfect end to the night.
