This weekend I dropped by Eataly, the new Italian food super-store from Bastianich and Batali....
Jealous? I think you are....
Don't worry, there's plenty more where that all came from and, let me tell you, it could take a lifetime to navigate through all their exceptionally delicious offerings. Pace yourself. They'll be around for a while.
We had a formaggi and salumi platter (which was served with figs, honey and candied orange rinds), along with an plate of fresh mozzarella escorted by anchovies and fresh pesto, all accompanied by two glasses of wine and a couple of great Italian beers (we were four people, thank you). The best part, though, didn't arrive until hours later when my delicious husband and his culinarily-inclined friend created two pasta dishes from the Eataly grocery and really transported our tastebuds - first to Bologna and then down to Napoli.
Here's to food, folks and fun - Italian style!
