Day 2 - Fresh Homemade Italian Bread

Discover

Tonight my husband and I went out with some friends to an authentic Italian restaurant (Cafe Concerto) for some good food, good wine, and good company.  We started with a caprese salad and had a 4-cheese ravioli and penne pesto pasta for our main course.  Along with the main course came this Amazing hot and fresh out of the oven homemade bread.  We've eaten here once before and I had forgotten how much I loved eating this bread.  It is like one I never had anywhere else.

Explore (think and feel)

So what did I think of this bread?  By the appearance of it, the bread looked a bit lanky because the chef cut a long strip from a flat square sheet of bread.  Presentation wasn't the greatest but when I took a bite of it, I felt Real good. For one thing, I loved how it was hot, fresh, and light (light as in "I could eat a lot of it and not be full"). I felt good knowing that it came straight from the oven and that the chef himself served it to us. I also loved how it was soft and warm on the inside despite how flat the bread was.  And I loved how flour covered the bread and how, when I bit into it, there was just the right amount of salt to flavor it.  The bread made a nice compliment to our dishes but I could also just eat it alone and be 100% completely satisfied.  I wish I could take some of that bread home with me...

I just decided that it is too early to formulate something to write in this section so I will summarize my thoughts on my daily discoveries at the end of the week.
