After a good night of rest & a hearty breakfast of Filipino longaniza & parsley-scrambled eggs we made our way to the bakery & grabbed a sesame-semolina loaf (trying the ciabatta next),

bc it looked like the perfect canvas for tonight’s Abendbrot, and a coffee cake
for my PIC’s afternoon treat. On our way to the Italian market we discovered a Mexican market, where I grabbed some El Yucateco Black Label, bc of course I forgot to bring back the bottle I have back home (along with frozen ‘nduja I also meant to bring). They had amazing looking chicharrones and pollo asado, so we’ll have to go back for those soon ![]()
Our final food stop was DiBruno’s for future sammich or Abendbrot needs: pistachio mortadella, porchetta, and more Raschera & Taleggio.
Dinner was sautéed king oyster shroom & Taleggio toasts
and a BAS with locally grown lettuce, peppers, tomato, a lonely cuke and a lil celery that was lingering in the crisper, all tossed with CK’s buttermilk ranch augmented with half a diced shallot, a lil lemon juice, salt & crushed garlic.
'twas good. That semolina bread is wonderful ![]()
