What are you eating right now?

I should have called it last night but I deleted it. Cornetto e cappuccino for breakfast! I knew it!

I was just happy it didn’t squirt molten chocolate on my pants

Forgot to mention Caffe' Toraldo, I know my espresso company logos, even when it's an action shot (read blurry). Just noticed the almond cookies in the center of the table (awesome).

Bruschetta, caponata, mozzarella di bufala (the bomb) con pomodoro salad. Prosciutto end sliced against the grain (most likely the hock).

Meat was iberico ham! Eggplant was parmigiana. A-.

Nothing, my emotional support dog getting the Puppy Cuppy at Sonic.

Last day in Southern California. Independent owned restaurants everywhere. Outstanding food. Great service. Prices for dining out competitive with the rest of the US. Weather wonderful. For foodies, Southern California might be a great vacation spot.

I looked into the cost of living in California post retirement. Looked at the state taxes, and no I won't be retiring in California.

Oysters. Lamb shank. Braised pear.

Nice. So far the food in Napoli is very inexpensive. Surprise to me!

Today's lunch---Portillo's in Buena Park, CA. Beef, hot dog, and fries. Look like a lot; this will be my last sit down meal until Saturday night.

Just a small dinner. Arancini.

Bought a baba on the walk to the metro station. More like a baba-ino. Smaller than the monsters in the display cases. Then got some aveno-walnut yogurt at the supermarket. People were looking at my baba and wondering why it shrunk.

Iberico in Italy? You have some nerve!

Good thing you're not driving a car after that baba'.

Didn’t caption this. We went to the Barlotti buffalo dairy farm. Very nice relaxing place near Paestum. Such a great old country dairy

All kinds of cheeses. Even a smoked one. So good - way different. The fresh stuff burrata has a bit more bite and not as sweet as our local burrata. We needed vegetation so we ordered verdura misto. Wow we gobbled it down. The cheese plate was so rich just ate slowly with the pane rustica ciabatta and perfect local olive oil

The smoky burrata was unlike any smoked thing I’ve had. Extremely robust!
