Delicious Swiss chard tart, ricotta, pecorino and a little crumbled bacon. Endive salad on the side and lightly charred peppers.
Dessert was a slice of plum cake.

An ever so slightly more reasonably sized lunch today: panino con melanzane e crocchè.

Would eat.

A bunch of whatever we have handy and can throw together is what lunch usually brings to our table

This day it was homemade baba ganouj, guacamole, a minty tabouli, and some store-bought unsalted tortilla chips.

And this day one spicy sausage with rapini, garlic and grano, and one very small sweet potato with grano, nutmeg, and walnuts, each mixture placed into wonton wrappers bound with egg yolk, produced a surprisingly large plate of sausage ravioli and sweet potato ravioli which we drizzled with olive oil and lemon zest. So good I forgot to take a photo until there was only one left.

And not a burst one along therm.

Another fake pizza. This time with a pita bottom.

Here is my question. Or issue. The pita crisped up nicely - I baked it on a stone I had heated for 1 hour and I used Tillamook mozzarella, which I love but usually can’t find. The pita was totally flavorless like cardboard, but worse. I will remember to stick to naan in the future.

So here is the question. I used Pastorelli pizza sauce. Why? Because it comes in little 8 oz cans. So when I make another one tomorrow, I won’t feel bad about pitching a couple of ounces. I have to admit the kitchen smelled great while it was baking - but no one has mentioned Pastorelli on here, as far as I can see. I assume it’s in the same category as Don Pepino.
