Had to post these pics to let you know that the barista in the caffe I go each morning is the spitting image of Seth Rogen....what say you on this matter? He was probably wondering why I was snapping photos all up in his griglia, so I explained (in my best possible Italian) that he looked just like this actor in the States....hope he wasn't expecting Brad Pitt.
I promised to print a pic for him....now that I have uploaded the photos, I really think the resemblance is striking....almost uncanny. Maybe we all have alter egos living in other countries....kind of like that bizarro Jerry episode....
On Monday, I was in the mood for some carne, since I do not really eat a ton of it over here (prosciutto doesn't really count as meat....), so I went with a friend to get some steak at a place recommended by Stefano. To accompany the steak, we shared some gnocchi al pomodoro e basilico, funghi and zucchine along with a nice bottle of Montepulciano.
This was the second time I tried a filetto with aceto balsamico, though I think the first time was pork (so that didn't count). The vinegar lends a nice flavor and the meat was extremely tender. Did you know that the word for soft/tender to describe meat in Italian is "morbido"?
I am going to have to cut this post off early, and start another without any pics since this computer has crashed five times in a row....still need to figure out a way to condense these photos...
Btw, the pic below is of an unexpected guest whom I encountered lying comfortably on my bed when I arrived home late last night....
