Yesterday, I rediscovered a small Italian food joint, recently built where I live. It was started by an Italian couple and the food there is to die for! The first time I went, I ordered a Margherita Pizza and this time had a caprese panini and bruschetta. One thing I am desperately looking forward to is not only the amazing food that I am sure to encounter in Italy, but also the knowledge of how to make it. In the summer, I will be staying with a family and will be expected to make lunch everyday for the boy, Andrea. I will, hopefully, learn about how to cook specialized pasta and "antipasto" which are appetizers.
In Italy, meals are considered to be an art form. People spend a long time preparing and enjoying the meal, and each component is incredibly important from the bread to the wine to the kind of spices used. I think that this consideration for the small things in life will be enriching tutti giorni!
