What did we do before the poptart or Twinkie? In the old days, before packages cookies and snack cakes they used what they had on hand. Bread. Having some wonderful Italian bread on hand from yesterday reminded me...American mornings: a hunk of yesterday's cornbread with some of this mornings warm raw milk (yum)
Italian Mornings: cappuccino or caffelatte with yesterday's wonderful crusty holey bread dunked in it, instantly taking in the flavors of good coffee, milk and sugar (having this as I write)
Giordano Coffees and Espresso Machines
American afternoons: a hunk of bread with a slather of homemade butter and a tiny sprinkle of sugar (such a treat)
Italian Afternoons: that day's bread with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of salt, or with a very small piece of cheese or salame to nibble between bites of bread (found in the grubby fists of little Italians playing outside even today)Giordano Cappuccino Collectible Cups
Have our taste buds become so sophisticated that we are too good to eat plain, simple, real food anymore?
Back to real food! It's worth the trip back.
