Maybe because yesterday’s spectacular thunderstorm cleared the air and we were just making the scenic drive back from lunch at Spino Fiorito, which was spectacular as usual:
Spaghetti with tomato, tuna and pancetta (the pork and fish combo is a trademark of the Spino Fiorito kitchen; we’ve had pasta with fresh trout and lardo as well and it was better than you could possibly imagine)
Linguini with fresh capers, black olives, cherry tomatoes, basil, and anchovies
Rabbit in umido (good lord, the sauce! It took almost all the bread they had to fare la scarpetta or “make the shoe” to clean up the sauce clean offa the plate)
Beans with onions for the contorno.
Including dessert, coffee water and a bottle of wine: €10 each.
Then, you drive home and see this:
And…you can see it bigger! Yes, it’s the View from Terenzano!
