With the time left countdown coming to a close, we are at 6 days as of today, it was finally time to rock out the hot line. This Sunday came with plenty of cleaning in prep for chefs return. And then Carlo made a fabulous family meal, it was something unexpected. Pasta with gorgonzola cream sauce, walnuts, pears, and spinach. What a dream! It was divine, I even had seconds, cause I’m a Fat Kid. Then it was time to open the doors to all the people. We were slammed, which was a nice change from the previous weeks. We had a total of 41 folks come through the door, including 2 larger tables. Frankie jumped on the line along with Carlo and I. It was overall great, but Frankie needs to look at not only the tickets but also what everyone else is doing around him. Carlo and I were on the same wave length, I knew what he was working and was ready to plate and send out all the food when it was called.
It was great to be so busy and at the end of the day have Carlo tell us we all did a great job. Reassurance is a wonderful booster and sending out tasty items doesn’t hurt either. We ended the shift with more cleaning and a long, long, long prep list for Martedi, since we would be chiuso on Lunedi. We all headed home, and Frankie treated Angela and I to some La Musa gelati. Such a treat on the sunny, windy day. We three came to the decision to try the one Chinese restaurant on the mountain for dinner. But in the meantime, I went in my sweaterbooties, with Angela to the piadina man so she could get the kebob plate. This girl is not afraid of food, she loves it as much as I, which is nice to find another foodie fat kid in Italy.
After a little rest, we suited up to try the Chinese place. It was fairly busy for a Domenica, and the menu was large and reasonably priced. We ordered around and out came the meal.
Fried wontons; disappointing, unfilled fried strips of bread.
Hot & Sour soup; potentially the best I had ever had, spicy, sweet, and filled with all the good bits.
Chicken in Curry Sauce; made due for a main entree, but lacked curry flavor.
Pancetta fried rice; decent, a would order for next time.
Overall, it was an 11 Euro per person meal, not too bad. I was able to skype with my mom and sister. Mom, how was that technical problem with the hard drive? Did you get that password figured out? Hahahaha!!! I ended the evening with a nice bath and some new music. What a lovely Sunday Funday!
