Transcendent Food

I am now officially obsessed with good food. Not on the days when I feel nauseous and nothing sounds good, but the other times, when I'm deeply hungry for something wonderful. Since I just ate this wonderful lunch alone, I had to share it with someone, and Blogland, it's you.

Mozzarella and Tomato Sandwich:

One hoagie bun from Black Bear
+
Whole milk fresh mozzarella, thickly sliced
+
Ripe tomato from local farm, sliced
+
Basil from my kitchen window
+
olive oil, salt, and pepper.

It made me sing to myself afterwards, and brought me back to this one place in Italy, a Sandwich shop under a bridge, vicino de Piazza S. Marco, where I happily consumed mozzarella e pomodoro sanwiches several times a week.
In fact its weird, I'm typically bored with Italian food these days, preferring Asian food of any kind, but lately Italian is what I'm dreaming of.
What is the best meal you've had lately?

Where I've been...

states I've been to, or driven through. Actually, about half are "driven through only." Open to editing by my older sister Blythe, who can still detail the itineraries of road trips from when she was eight.




If you want "states I've spent any kind of quality time in," it would look more like this:



Pick a state, and I'll tell you the story.
