My Dinner at Gambero part 1

This is Costa, a 2 inch thick veal chop breaded twice and pan fried slow in butter. The butter is basted during the entire cooking time. The potatoes are cooked in the oven with butter and rosemary until brown and soft. The tomato is slow roasted and very tasty. I think you should get more than one. Most of the people don't even eat them, GO FIGURE.
This is Baccala, cod cooked in butter on a bed of mashed potatoes and on the side slow cooked onions in broth and butter. They are sweet and go very well with the cod.
Chocolate Semi Freddo with an fresh orange jam. If you like chocolate you would love this dessert. It melts in your mouth. Kinda like a frozen mousse.
This is Stephanie, she is my friend and local pastry shop owner. I invited her to eat with me at the restaurant. We both enjoyed our evening very much. I did her hair color and curls for the event. When she left me she went to her boyfriends and she said he just stared at her when she walked in the door. The staff was very on top of making it a great night. The food was cooked perfect and presented beautifully. When it came time to pay, NO CHARGE. It would has cost 200 euros. I thought they would comp mine but not hers. Gambero deserves it Michlin Star, not because I ate for free but for everything else.

I sent another blog before this one to show you the people in my life for the last 2 months. I have just found out that friday is my last day. 3 more days to work then I will pack and leave Sunday for Colorno and my test. I know it sounds silly but Sarurday the day on my paperwork, Its just one day. I WON THE LOTTERY, at least that is how I felt. I got up today and finished cleaning my space and packing. I will walk over to my favorite pastry shop and have a caffe. More to come on my move to Colorno. The countdown has started, 5 1/2 days and I am home.
Signing out from Italy, Yvonne
