To celebrate International Left Hander's Day, I took Dean out to lunch at Belotti in Oakland
 |
| This could be Italy but it's College Avenue in Oakland |
 |
| Casoncelli Bergamaschi |
Dean ordered casoncelli, a scrumptious, rich pasta dish that the chef describes as "my mom's Bergamo style stuffed pasta with beef, prosciutto, pork shoulder, grana padana, smoked pancetta, butter and sage."
 |
| Dessert - an americano with a rich version of tiramisu. I had a traditional espresso |
Speaking of mid-August, I love this Italian movie. It's the perfect entertainment for hot summer nights! I saw it in the theatre a few years ago but it's now available from Netflix, so I sent for the DVD and watched it again (and again!)
