Southern Italy, yo.
The thing that I heard about southern Italy when Ted & I were there was that things in So It are stronger - darker, thicker coffee, stronger wine, denser flavors. . . yeah.
We're meeting to discuss the menu, and we desperately miss those of you who couldn't join us this evening . . . . This is going to be stream of conscience so I beg your pardon.
So, Marcy & Freddy are doing appetizers and dessert.
Marcy wants to make fresh mozzarella
Nici & Andy are making their brother-in-law's slow cooked red sauce = Italian gravy. Think meatballs, think pork, think old family recipe that will knock your knickers off. This will go with pasta. They're also going to kick out some homemade bread.
Keila needs to huddle with Brock, but the idea is to do an entree with a fish.
[As an aside: there's a store in Butte (Front Street Market Eatery) that we thought it would be fun to road trip to some Saturday in April to shop. Let me know if you're interested or if you have more information . . . .]
And also . . .
Ted & Anne will make a minestrone.
Anne also wants to make something that honors pork in some respectful manifestation . . . it will be a main dish.
Freddy making something with veal for an appetizer.
So that leaves us with some ideas that we'd like to see come to fruition. Speak up if you want to take one of these on:
pizza - Neopolitan
salad - Cesar - Nici & Andy have a recipe that they're happy to share!
another dessert?
What about another main dish or appetizer?
Speak up, foodies!

Comment for Mela:
I’m salivating. I’ll take another main dish or appetizer and will do some research in Butte to inspire.
Abrazos,

Food gurus! So excited reading everyone's ideas. I LOVE italian. One thing I remember in So. Italy was that EVERYWHERE served you lemoncello after dinner.... whether you order it or not. It's a very popular hospitality move. Sooooo, I'm going to attempt home made lemoncello. Jeff and I will make something else but we haven't got that far yet. One recipe at a time.
