Bufala Soldier

Day 104

As so often happens, I decide I don't like something before I have tried it, or after one mediocre example, and therefore curse myself.  This happened with olive oil in at the beginning of the semester (fortunately I caught my error after the first month), and just last week I realized I had committed another fatal error: I shunned bufala mozzarella.

In a bittersweet moment, I realized my mistake: sweet because I am now enjoying this delicious cheese every other meal; bitter because I soon must bid it farewell because no one raises an Asian water buffalo like the Italians.  As part of my eat everything in sight program this week, I ate not one but two bufala margherita pizzas at dinner tonight, along with one I had last night, and another I plan on having tomorrow night. (The first three are from the same place, but tomorrows will be from a different place.  The difference is one melts its cheese and the other leaves it raw.  They are both delicious.)

Ciao,
J
