Finding a picnic spot proved a little more difficult than expected but we finally found a good spot here
in the Piazza D'Azeglio
Sitting under the grand trees resplendent in their autumn foliage we enjoyed a simple lunch with ingredients bought this morning at the market.
A good hunk of Taleggio
and a round of Fresh Goat Cheese, mortadella and
porchetta, with those wonderful tuscan bread rolls, soft on the inside but with that splintery crunchy crust.
Paalo's porchetta and taleggio panino
My panino looks like it's licking it's lips!
To finish we enjoyed these Sfogliatine filled with Crema Pasticceria.
While we weren't there in person we were certainly there in spirit and do hope all enjoyed themselves.
In the coming days there should be posts popping up about the actual night but do check out the flickr set Bloggers' Banquet for the photos.
Next time perhaps - there's talk of a couple of others for the end of the year/early next years. Envious of the white truffles.
ReplyDeleteWish I could have gone to either Ed's party or yours!
ReplyDeleteYour picnic lunch looks divine!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'd lick your panino's lips! ;-) I think I might have to replicate your picnic here in Healdsburg . . .
ReplyDeleteBy the way . . . if you haven't already, please stop by www.generouspour.com to help me raise money for Share Our Strength towards ending hunger in America. You don't have to buy anything, pay anything or even do anything -- other than download a cool song by Corinne Bailey Rae and pick up some new holiday recipes (and a nifty widget for your blog if you're so inclined). Thanks for your support!
Haha I love that map picture!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a great success Ed! The white truffles were very special.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved having you there Kalyn!
Thanks PIC!
Thanks Lia - it's so nice to go outside it's a shame we don't do it more often. Sounds like a great cause and I'll head over for sure!
Thanks Cindy!
