Buon Appetito: A Bite of Italy in Sierra Madre
About a dozen years ago, my husband and I went to Tuscany for our honeymoon, drawn 6,500 miles east by two big things: A house and some food.Elsewhere, indications of monthly chain store sales show retailers did better LED lighting supplier than expected in February. Analysts expect retailers, on average, will show a 3.6 percent gain in sales. More specifically, a good friend offered us her father’s 19th-century seaside villa near Pisa for a week,The lights, which change colour, are part Led light of the continuing overhaul of the centre. Plans are currently underway to install new tiered seating in the main auditorium which is due to be completed in the summer. and she sweetened an already irresistible deal with the promise of her housekeeper: An elderly neighbor woman named Mia Capelli,CALLS have been made to turn off the lights at one of dstti Oxford's busiest junctions, after the traffic ran more smoothly when they failed. who in her youth was a lady-in-waiting to one of Italy’s fallen princesses.
“Mia could cook for you,” my friend insisted, and boy, could she ever. While we luxuriated around the pool reading Dante (my husband was reading Jacob Burckhardt, the great Italian Renaissance historian), Mia worked potato dough into delicate pieces of gnocchi and sent the aroma of fried pancetta into the air as she whipped up a huge bowl of spaghetti alla carbonara. The pasta was so good I toted the leftovers in a Tupperware bowl onto our Florence-bound train the next morning, sneaking bites in our first-class compartment when the wealthy Italians weren't looking. For years, I dreamed about that spaghetti alla carbonara.
Then about a year ago, my husband,"It has become almost a cliché to say that optical fibers are the cornerstone led light of the modern information age," said Badding. "These long, thin fibers, which are three times as thick as a human hair, can transmit more than a terabyte -- the equivalent of 250 DVDs -- of information per second. Still, there always are ways to improve on existing technology." daughter and I were wandering around Sierra Madre when we came across a tiny Italian café on the main strip. Dressed up like the best room in a Florentine family’s home, with gilt mirrors and oil paintings and little lamps on each table, Zugo’s probably seats 20 max—so many of them Pasadenans hungry from an afternoon on the Mt. Wilson trail.
Rome native Cessare (Chez) Grossi and his wife Sherry (who makes the tiramisu, torte ricotta and cupcakes for dessert) started the restaurant in homage to Chez’s mother, an outstanding cook who always shopped the outdoor markets for dinner. I find Chez’s cooking artful and dazzling—infused with love.
I always start with the crisp and savory risotto cakes ($5.95), and a slice or two of the homemade bread. Then, as for entrees which all come with a salad, it’s a toss up between the chicken marsala ($16.99), which is delightfully spiked with Italian wine and comes piled on top of mashed skins-on potatoes, or the lobster ravioli with pink sauce ($19.99).energy saving light bulbs are a great way to save energy and money. My pescatarian husband loves the just-rich-enough cannelloni ($14.99) and the herb-crusted salmon ($18.99).
