Eataly is seriously dangerous to my wallet. I bought my grandfather a jar of hot peppers there last year that he hasn't stopped talking about yet. And we bought a forest honey that was amazing.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's the perfect place to buy gifts! I got a theory somewhere that stuff you need, but better/more expensive than you'd buy yourself, is a good gift. So like cashmere socks or Eataly peppers.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I also don't eat things that had hooves. (I know, I'm difficult). I could do the bread!
I should go just to see how it compares to Latinicity.

Good food tha Papa won't actually buy himself is really the only gift I can get him. He loves $12 fancy tuna in oil but wouldn't buy a jar for himself.

That's such a good gift, though.

Also pasta! Also fish!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Woo hoo! There's a new season of Great British Bake Off available!
Actually it's the season from 2012, but it's new to America. But still Mel and Sue.
It's not on Netflix yet, but it's streaming off the PBS channel which I can get free on Roku (after I activated it.)
I'm all cued up for pleasant distraction.

I thought everyone looked younger, but I didn't want to google because I was afraid of spoilers.

One of the best ravioli I ever had was both! Salmon ravioli in a lemon cream sauce, and each ravioli was shaped like a little fish.

I do enjoy fish.
I went with Potbelly by default. It's one thing when tourists don't know how to navigate the ordering process but how did I end up in line behind a Chicago cop who doesn't know how to Potbelly?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
