just a food blog

ha ha, so i finally went to the fabled damario's which is just near centaral market, you have to get there before 12:30 because it gets so booked up, and with good reason, it is a traditional style trattoria, and serves really simple, but incredible food, meat mainly.. there are some signs up on the walls, such as, don't dare ask for ketchup, and its is prohibited to drink coca cola! and one of my favourites, you are more than welcome to eat the bones with your fingers..
we had ribollita to start, a wintry soup, basic but lovely, then for main i had roast rabbit, and G had peposa, beef in a red wine and pepper sauce, both were amazing, the peposa was probably nicer as it had such a lot of sauce.. and i had chips too (obviously)
The next day i cooked for us a vongole (clam) pasta, very simple, but ever so lovely and so much fun to eat!
And then, on saturday, (having put it in marinade on friday) we had a rick stein recipe, which was wild boar, chorizo, and porcini mushroom stew....
It was probably the nicest thing i've ever cooked with my fair hand.. it had red wine, gin and vermouth in it! as well as 8 garlic cloves, whole pepper corns, bay and cloves... it was fanny tantastic.

we had it again on tuesday, and it was even betterm we ate it with roast mediterranean vegetables, and salty jacket potatoes... mmmmmmmmmm
since then, all food has been eclipsed and i can't really remember eating much!
i did go to an italian friend's for dinner last night, and i met a woman who is a clown for children in hospital. What a job! and she doesn't even get paid... My italian is coming along, but i still got lost when she was telling stories about her clowning around...
