I just got back from Italian Market. Don't you wish you were here?

[GOPisEvil]

:hi:

[djeseru]

1. It's true.

You're evil...

:o

[GOPisEvil]

4. Not really.

I brought back a little something for you. :hug:

[djeseru]

7. No, it's because I really do wish I was there!

:cry:

But, since you were so thoughtful, here's something:

[GOPisEvil]

10. Sigh...I wish you were here too.

:hug:

That's such an appropriate tune. :)

:hug:

[djeseru]

15. So, what did you get me?

;)

I thought it very appropriate. Especially after chocolate cheesecake...

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

16. Take a guess.

;)

After 3 weeks, I didn't want to experiment with new pastry. I went old school.

:hug:

[djeseru]

25. You spoil me, truly.

If it gets served like the last one, then there's no question I'm your best friend for life. :D

[GOPisEvil]

27. I'll serve it any way you like.

You'd be a wonderful best friend for life. :D

[djeseru]

31. :blush:

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

32. Are you available to talk real time?

I've got a room for us. ;)

:hug:

[djeseru]

33. Check your PM.

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

34. Got it.

:hug:

I guess we'll just have to drive everyone here nuts then. ;)

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Only if you bought Giada DeLaurentis.

How many Italians, and what kind, did you get?

[GOPisEvil]

5. Just 1/2 lb. of one. Ground into sausage.

Oh and I think his belly was made into pancetta.

:9

[yvr girl]

3. What did you get

I have this new thing for Italian food. (I am part Italian after all.)

[GOPisEvil]

6. 1/2 lb. of sausage, 1/2 lb. of pancetta, some fontina, some pecorino,

and some ciabatta rolls.

[yvr girl]

8. Mmm....what's for dinner

What time should I arrive?

[GOPisEvil]

11. I don't know yet.

I went to the regular grocery store too. I'm all stocked up. Time? Uh...whenever. Just give me 1/2 notice or so.

[billyskank]

9. We're going to have pasta

:)

[GOPisEvil]

12. Maybe I will too. I bought some pasta as well.

[billyskank]

17. Good plan. You can't go wrong with pasta

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

18. It's hard to beat. Just need to sauce it up.

Sometimes I just go with butter and some herbage. Simple. Effective. Tasty. :hi:

[yvr girl]

20. Are you sure you don't want some good English food

mushy peas or something?

[billyskank]

23. Mmmmm and jellied eels

:9

[yvr girl]

28. Yikes

That is just too scary.

[billyskank]

30. Got no argument from me

:puke:

[GOPisEvil]

24. No boiled meat for me, thanks.

Shepherd's pie has it's place, but it's a million degrees. Too hot for that.

[riona]

13. Cannoli!

We need cannoli!

[GOPisEvil]

14. I have something better.

Chocolate cheesecake. Light, Italian style. To. Die. For.

[riona]

22. Don't even SAY

those two words together! Oh boy.
:bounce:

[Fleshdancer]

19. Austin has an Italian Market?

I need to get out more.

Where is it?

[GOPisEvil]

21. Mandola's. It's in the "Triangle".

Lamar and 51st-ish. That triangular piece of property that was a nice piece of greenery until developers put those apartments/retail on it? That's the place. Mandola's is at one end of it.

They have a restaurant as well as a small market/bakery/meat/cheese shop.

[Fleshdancer]

26. thanks!

I had no idea. I'll have to check it out soon.

[GOPisEvil]

29. Try the caprese sandwich!

:9

Tomato, basil, FRESH (made on-site) mozzarella on ciabatta roll.

Hoo-boy, it's good.

[SOteric]

35. Yes, indeed. I imagine you'd be pretty happy about it too.

You and djeseru could watch old movies while I turned all that lovely Italian food into little bites from heaven in the kitchen.

[GOPisEvil]

36. Ooooohhh...I like the sound of that.

But, I think you should bring your fella along. There are two TV's in the house. ;)

:hi:

[Lefty48197]

37. I'm a hopin' you're a makin' somea lasagna!

.

[GOPisEvil]

38. Nope. I didn't pick up any ricotta or mozzarella.

Maybe next time. I'm thinking about baking my baked ziti with meatballs soon...

[GalleryGod]

39. Sorry. I'd rather mine in South Philly.

[GOPisEvil]

40. Well, hey, me too, but that's a long drive.

;)

[VelmaD]

41. When is dinner?

:)

[GOPisEvil]

44. Not sure if I'm up to cooking...funny enough.

I might place an order to a certain place and get a certain thing that makes our tummies happy.

7ish. Watch the game?

[VelmaD]

47. 7ish works for me

And I am always happy with the unnamed item from the undisclosed location. :)

[GOPisEvil]

I'll place an order then.

:)

[VelmaD]

49. Kewl kewl

See ya after a bit then.

[matcom]

42. in Austin? do *I* wish *I* were THERE?

Italian Market in TEXAS

or.......

BOSTON

hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

:think:

:rofl:

[GOPisEvil]

43. Well, hey, it's as good as you'll find down here.

Going up to Boston for some fresh mozzarella is a bit much...

[VelmaD]

45. And I figure dinner at your house...

won't involve scrambled eggs. *snort*

[GOPisEvil]

46. I wasn't gonna go there...

:rofl:

[VelmaD]

48. I hadn't teased matcom in AGES...

I couldn't help myself.
