Life is Good, part ?

 Eating well is the best revenge

Somebody once said that, and given the results of the USA election, what else can ya do?

We can try! That's what! Above is 20 bucks worth of fresh pasta..delivered to our front door last week. Someone left a flyer in our box and Heather called 'em up, that afternoon a guy showed up with all this!

Our guess is Il Messinese makes a lot of the fresh pasta served in ristoranti around here and was looking to pick up some extra biz? Prior to this any sort of stuffed pasta like ravioli was found only at the supermarkets and made gawd-knows-where. But now...how much would YOU pay to have someone deliver this to YOUR door!

Not delivered to our door, but just 5 minutes away by bike, we can get this fresh bread any day of the week. We think Pincio supplies bread to resellers here on the island but on Sunday when we're out for a ride a stop here is great to get a still-warm loaf for Sunday pranzo. Around $1.

There's now a running joke when Zio Lorenzo shows-up here. After showing 'em a photo of a $6 "ciabatta" in a Santa Barbara supermarket, they laugh while asking him to cough-up 6 euros!

And yes, we have a neo-fascist regime here too, but they won't be slapping any massive tariffs on anything good to eat!!
