GRAZI.

last night I found Italy in NE Portland.

Lorenzo's on Mississippi.  So Good.  So Italian deli.  Tubes of tomato paste for sale next to packet of saffron and tiny amaretto candies.  Cheap but delicious red wines for example the glass of Barbera D'Alba for $5 that I enjoyed thank you very much.  Paired with homemade gnocchi.  HOMEMADE GNOCCHI.  oh yes.  tables with little checkered tablecloths and a couch with a giggling baby.  flourless chocolate torte.  olives sold by the pound. 

what a delight.  just when I tire of my small town it sends me Lorenzo's.  grazi, Portland.
