hi.
it's hot.
the hotness kind of i dislike; humid hottness is here.
i don't know if this weather reminded me of something i ate in italy last may or not, i was thinking of this simple food from a small pretty shop anyhow.
i didn't come up with the name of this at first, so i looked it up on web.
the clue for that was only first some letters of the name, pia.
the name of this food must be pia+something.
first, i tried "piandini".
i can't explain where i got this idea, but this sounds like italian, doesn't it?
unfortunately, it just hit few notes about starbucks' new menu of sometime of 2009.
then i thought about how italian name works.
the words which end with "i" mean the plural version of something, i think.
so, i typed "piandina" next ( the words which end with "a" are defined as single, well, i hope so ;) ), and searched.
bingo!
i got the right name!
yeah, it actually is "piadina" for its official name ( doesn't need "n" in the middle of the word), but thanks to the kindness of a nowaday's able advanced civillization, the google asked me " do you mean 'piadina' ? ".
i was not sure at that time, but i nodded hard with a high expectation.
all above is what happened this morning.
i might have rememberd what i wore when i ate this simple piadina.
this blue and white striped one-piece dress is the perfect image for cooling down my heated brain, i think.
or more possibly, i should've remembered how a cold bottled light beer, which i had with this piadina even though i had fairly high fever at that time, had tasted sooooo good.
today's hotness reminds me of this piadina like those ways.
piadina is very simple quick food. ( i'd rather use "quick" than "fast" because of a nuance "fast" has in regards to food.)
it's like a taco or a pita, something is sandwiched in between folded-in-half warmed thin flat bread.
mine had slices of fresh buffalo mozzarella, tomatoes and rucola.
i was handed that being put in a transparent plastic bag and wrapped up with a paper, in case the water mozzarella would produce messed my hands and clothes up.
i was impressed with that small but big thoughtfulness.
my husband i ate our each own piadinas ( should i use "piadini" here? :)) at the simple table arranged outside the shop.
it was so tasty, healthy and italian!!
well, i found this tiny shop accidentally.
just after we reached arezzo, which is one of the famous towns of tuscany, and checked in at a hotel and left our heavy luggage, we went out for hanging around that pretty medieval town.
then we walked by this shop, but we passed through at first.
as it was almost the time for lunch, and my mostly reliable insight told me that the shop we passed through must have been somewhere i shouldn't have missed.
then we went back to the site, and entered in a still dark and quiet shop. ( it looked like just had opened that day.)
although there had been only one other customer than us, as we ate ours outside, some local residents started to go in and out busily.
i made sure that my instinct was right because of a delicious piadina itself and the population of the local patrons.
so now, i notice that i feel much hotter than when i started to write this story because of the heat my computer produced.
i'm pretty not sure what i wanted to do here this hot afternoon.
stay cool, friends!
i'll skip a love letter today, 'cause i want to be away from this heated computer asap. ;P
