Cibo cibo delicioso

Delicious Foods
-Lasagna (Pesto and Regular--the ragu you’re throwing on there does not cut it)
-Risotto(Fungi and Pumpkin, and Plain). Fun fact: Risotto with no flavoring tastes like rice in starch sauce. It is almost unbearable.
-Cannolo (YUM!)
-Negretti(Chocolate covered marshmellow crème) From a random street market
-Gelato (Chocolate, Cannoli, Pistachio, Caramel, and Bacio-Chocolate Hazelnut, as of late)
-Pesto (from a yogurt cup at the store, but amazing)
-Foccacia-aka pizza with a thicker, fluffier crust sans cheese and tomatos, made by my cooking teacher
-Pizza--thinner crust, not much sauce if any. It takes some getting used to. They put the most ridiculous things on it. “Raggio Di Sole” (Ray of Sun) had an egg on it. Some doesn’t have any cheese at all: One pizza place makes some crust, and just throws toppings on there. You have to manuever to keep them in one spot
-Biscotti (Tastes more like a hard cookie like chips ahoy over the brittle things at home)
-Wine Wine Wine--Too many varieties to count, and easily an entry in itself. Be proud, mom.
-Brioches and pastries-Brioches filled with Nutella have quickly become my favorite food. I had one in Florence that literally made me want to sit and eat there for the rest of the day
-Gnocchi--Of the hook potato pasta, shaped like dumplings. Super rich
-Bruschetta--By the lovely Ted and Erica
-Orange Juice-Which is in fact, Red juice, because it comes from Blood Oranges. It is sickeningly sweet, and not very acidic. Sort of like a grapefruit.
Coffee coffee coffee-In every shape. How these people sip their expresso, I’ll never know. I liken it to my Dad being able to sip whisky.
Pasta every way and every shape, the best being in Bologna--Tortelloni with ricotta, and butter/sage sauce.
