a really good sandwich
last month when joão was here, he was talking about a really good sandwich at de bijenkorf. naturally i thought he was just wack, because joao, like me, is not a big sandwich eater. he told me he went back several times that week at lunchtime just to consume this sandwich. this love affair with the sandwich didn't last long however, as de bijenkorf change their menus on a weekly basis.
so earlier this week, i ended up at trattoria mangiare on kleine berg. i don't usually eat sandwiches for lunch; unless it's summer, when i tend to eat more salads and sandwiches. when it's winter and cold like this, i go for bowls of ramen noodles, or soups and hot bread.
anyway, they had their new autumn/winter menu up so i got the pastrami sandwich and omg, it is so so good. it's an italian roll, with pastrami, capers, fresh salad, a mascarpone dressing, and "krullen eendenlever", translated to "shavings of duck liver". there's the slight smoky flavor and tenderness of the pastrami, the tangy capers, crunchy salad, and creamy duckliver, which just melts in your mouth. yummm.
perhaps sandwiches are not a bad thing after all. my mouth is just watering thinking and writing about the flavors. omg, sooooo good, i tell you. think i'm gonna go and have that for lunch again today. :)

Overpowering gimana? Sorry gue rada2 HTML-challenged :( Oh I see it now! I have tone them down a bit...Hmmm udah kepikiran sih mau kayak apa designnya.
Well...home is always where the parents are. Maybe I'll get to feel what you're feeling towards your parents' house after I move to New Zealand, hopefully by summer 2005. Yg pasti sih kalo udah pindah gue bakal kelabakan masak, nyuci, and the best reason why I'll miss home is di rumah ada pembantu :P
Anyway, German guy (Fred) likes me! LOL. His best mate Marcel told me so. He said Fred smiled and blushed whenever he brought me up. Yayayayayayay! LOL.

hehee, i have a similar love affair with sandwiches too! i never really got into them until recently when i came to the states.
happy sandwich eating! :D
yasmina says: oh, emangnya di US banyak juga konsumen sandwich? hehe, can't remember because when i lived there, i was always having school lunches, mostly hot meals, or otherwise my mom would pack me an indonesian lunch...
