Training Log Archive: Charlie

Dicey travel day. We waited until 7:45 for the 7:06 from Dormelletto, at which point our friend Matt decided to take us by car to Milan, where it turned out that our train to Verona was already 10 minutes late, which stretched to an hour and 5 minutes. But eventually we arrived, hoofed around town for a while, stopped for lunch at a little place near San Fermo and had some very nice Fettuccine with Mushrooms, lots of different kinds, and after a bit went back to the station to look for George and Leslie.

Some light snow arrived to greet the Californians, who were charmed by it.

After an hour lolling about in the steam room and sauna, out to a vey nice dinner with George and Leslie at Osteria Locandina Cappello, Rhonda and I split a first of what they called spaghetti alla chitarra: spaghetti oh so perfectly cooked with a sauce of turnip greens and anchovies, breadcrumbs, andwith a complementary sauce of stracciatella cheese. Quite delicious, very deep green color. Then we had rack of lamb, very meaty, quite rare, with a mustard crust. Finally we all shared a large slice of tiramisù, very good, but made us think of the perhaps even better tiramisù that Katia brought to the Rhino.
