If you're looking for a great picnic idea that travels well and will score an A+ every time, just think TORTILLAS. We went off to Kings Dominion last week and instead of taking out a mortgage to buy hotdogs and funnel cake at the amusement park we just made fajitas. The night before I spent 7 dollars on a couple thin fillets of beef, I cut them in strips and cooked them with red peppers and onions. Throw that in tupperware in a cooler then grab a pack of tortillas, an avocado, shredded cheese, a small container of sour cream, hot sauce or a jar of jalapeños, some shredded lettuce if you want (we skipped that), a fork, a spoon, a knife, a couple paper towels, two beers and THATS IT. If you don't want to cook the beef, buy a rotisserie chicken and pull the meat on your trip, use a can of baked beans if your a vegetarian, or sautée some garlic shrimp if you wanna go up a notch. They all work great- just dump them in a tortilla and you're good to go!

picnic or tailgating?

- Hi there, my name is Giacomo and I enjoy things delicious. Long story short, my parents moved from Italy to NJ where I grew up (and loved it) but found myself in Washington, DC fourteen years ago and haven’t yet found an excuse to leave. Food has always been a huge part of my day and life… from happy times, sad times, holidays, drunken escapades and all the rest in between, I’ve usually spent a good portion of that time putting something in my mouth. I guess I started this blog a little while ago to keep track of what I was cooking and places I’d eat-- simply because my friends were always asking “how do you make this” or “where do you get that” but surprisingly over time I guess real people started reading too. SO, take a look around and let me know what you think. You’ll see that the backbone of lots of my food is Italian but I manage to cover most bases. Thanks for stopping by. BUON APPETITO!
