my ultimate comfort

I just have to say for me the ultimate comfort food is a nice plain dish of pasta with a simple tomato sauce (olive oil, onion or garlic, crushed tomateos and salt), some hot pepper and freshly grated cheese. A brasciole di coteca or due polpette are a great treat but nothing beats just this- just how my mamma makes it. If carbs are your issue don't switch to whole wheat pasta. Sick with your regular semolina di grano duro-- just limit your portion size and be sure to eat earlier in the day.

About Me

My photo
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!
