Bean and vegetable soup. This was an opportunity to clean out my fridge, so there's a little bit of everything in there: onions, garlic, carrots, portobellos, celery, radishes, cilantro, spinach, parsley, roasted chiles, leftover wine and probably some other things I've forgotten. It was good though, the peppers gave it some heat.

Working lunch. A bunch of these open sandwiches. Ham (Chinese but labelled "American Style"), Cheddar Cheese (Irish), Tomato (local), Basil (from my balcony), Baguette (Chinese but sold as "French Style)", Maldon Sea Salt (English).

 There is more than one way to (con)fuse cuisines. :D

I am the eldest of 5 kids.Well, none of us are kids now, though we can be childish. I prefer 'childlike'. My mother calls us the United Nations.  All 5 of us live in different countries. China, Spain, USA, France and Scotland.

My humble lunch wasn't consciously intended to evoke that. It's just what I can get here. Although it does evoke my constant confusion living in a country so far removed from my long-withered roots. I'll eat pretty much anything without demanding to see its passport or home address.

Re-purposed leftovers. Miso-braised duck taken off the bone and chopped, carrots and shallots chopped and a handful of frozen spinach. (Re-heated in the  Cuisinart Steam Oven using a divided Corelle plate.)  All served over some rice.

Our 9 hour flight from JFK to Rome was delayed more the 2 1\2 hours, for a number of reasons, which caused us to miss the high speed train to Florence, we had planned, which in turn caused us to wait for 3 more hours for the next 2 1/2 hour train ride. To say we were tired is an understatement. After a good nights sleep we spent 2 days in Florence,  rented a car and drove out to where we are now staying in Greve, in Chianti. I will fill some of that in later, but we had lunch today at what is perhaps our favorite restaurant on earth, La Castellana. It made all that travel hardship vanish completely.

La Castellana is where I developed my absolute passion for bruschetta al pomodoro. It seems that if you just order one to split, the chef does a great job, but if you order one for each of you, the chef is greatly inspired by your enthusiasm for the dish, and goes out of the way to blow your mind. Today was no exception. This has become the standard up to which to which I hold my own efforts and those of others, as well.

La Castellana is a modest looking place on the outside, but on the few occasions we have eaten inside, it is quite charming. On nice days, like today, we prefer the outside dining across the tiny little winding hillside road.

Here is the view from our table today.

We had a bottle of local Chianti and Deb chose tortelli stuffed with ricotta cheese and lemon with gorgonzola and walnuts. She loved it!

I had tagliatelle in a kind of carbonera sauce loaded down with fresh truffles sliced wispy thin, just extraordinary! We have another reservation for lunch on Saturday and cannot wait.
