You don't always have to go reaching for dessert. Growing up I learned the best way to put a period to the end of your meal and cleanse your palette is with a nice cup of espresso and a piece of fruit. Much healthier than most traditions in the US but in my opinion the perfect way to finish lunch or dinner. If you don't want one of the expensive Nespresso machines or anything like that, buy a stainless steal Moka caffettiera - I just saw some at Target. They'll probably run you $30 bucks (clearly they can go up to $80 or $90+), the espresso maybe $6-$10 for a can, but the tradition will last a lifetime.

About Me

- 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!
