Cooking
in Our Apartment in Brindisi, Italy

One of the conveniences we
enjoy about
renting
an apartment on our travels is that we can cook at home.
Sometimes we don't want to
leave the house because of the weather, we're tired, or simply want something
easy to cook.
It also gives us the
opportunity when we go
grocery shopping, to try out the
intriguing and
different choices not available in our home country.
Rows of specialty sauces
Take these specialty sauces for instance.
This variety is not available in our adopted
town of
Chapala, Mexico.
You can choose pepperoni and nuts, olives and
capers or even radicchio and cured ham.
Maybe your local Trader Joe's has several of
these!
Notice the affordable prices marked in Euros
per jar.
A full lunch in our apartment
This is a typical lunch we might put together
while staying at home in
our
apartment.
A
delicious cheese
plate with several
choices of
salamis, local brie cheese, Emmental and other cheeses and slices of apple.
We have a seasoned olive oil dipping sauce
with some Italian bread, THE BEST FRESH green beans and tomatoes, plus our Parma
ham-stuffed pasta with pomodoro sauce and grated Parmesan cheese on top.
The flavors are just out of this world.
Pasta with pomodoro sauce, mushrooms,
turnip greens and cheese
Here we have taken some orecchiette pasta,
turnip greens, mushrooms and tomatoes and added more pomodoro sauce.
In Italy, seems everything tastes so good one
can hardly make a mistake in conjuring something up.
Pasta with fresh basil
Buying basil at a store has the owner cutting
off some leaves from a live plant.
Guaranteed fresh!!
Now just some shaved Reggiano Parmesano and
we're all set.
Cut up yellow melon
While you cannot taste this yellow melon just
by seeing the photo, you must believe this was the sweetest thing ever.
The Italian word for yellow melon is "melone
giallo" - pronounced mel-LONE-e gee-AH-low - which quickly became my new
favorite word.
Say gee-AH-low out loud a few times and
you'll understand.
My favorite chef
Here's Billy cookin' up a storm in the
kitchen with our lovely
$2
Euro red table wine in his glass.
And he's wearing a gee-AH-low Tee-shirt!
Gee-AH-low, Gee-AH-low, Gee-AH-low!

independence, values their time, and who doesn’t
want to mindlessly follow the crowd.
