Day 130

The semester is quickly coming to a close! For the "Cena Finale" (final dinner) for ECCo, the program that I am on, we all went to Rita's for some delicious-as-always food and drink.

We started with some of these fried calzones (I don't remember the exact Italian name) stuffed with ridiculously tasty, tart cherry tomatoes and mozzarella cheese. The dough was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, spilling out with wonderful treats inside.


There were a selection of Italian frittatas, some with mushrooms or greens or meat.


On her patio, they grilled up some amazing prosciutto wrapped melon. The prosciutto was warm, salty and crispy. The melon - sweet, smooth and still cool. What a truly perfect combination.


Also some other snacks, including a pasta dish, pictured here.


For dessert, fresh strawberries with custard and chocolate (I skipped the chocolate).


This was our last time eating with Rita. As always, the food was great and I will certainly miss our time at her lovely apartment. Thanks Rita!
