CENTRO ITALIA / SEVERAL BRANCHES
We were half-way there, sortakinda, so we scooted to our favorite Italian market up north 
Picked up pappardelle, fennel salami,
and a coupla slabs of raschera,
as well as grilled eggplant & zukes.
Pistachio crema for my PIC’s sweet breakfasts, a pistachio panna cotta for us to share for dessert — maybe even tonight,
and a bottle of a rosé we like.
The dude behind the cheese counter recognized us from last year. He reminds me of my younger nephew, aside from the floffy beard he’s grown over the last two years — the Sicilian, not my nephew 
Italians are lazy, too, which would explain the ready-made sauces in the refrigerated section, right above a huge variety of fresh pasta.
I think I took a few more pics a few years ago here, but today I focused on a lot of pistachio products, bc I feel the lovely pistachio deserves its very own thread… don’t you?
