This is the first time we've ever been invited to dinner at one of our tenants apartments. They are a nice couple from Italy who just recently moved into one of the units on Hudson. He has a doctor's degree in computing and works at JPL. She is a biologist and works at Cal Tech.
We had a great dinner and great time. We told them we have to take them out to Buca di Beppo since they have never been there before. It was kind of strange but nice to be eating dinner in the front house apartment where I used to temporarily live back in the 70's.
I just have to mention how impressed we were at the way the table was set. It looked like the cover of Good Housekeeping Magazine. We started with appetizers: sliced zuchinni mixed with spices, olive oil, and capers. There were bowls with small slices of Italian cheese, olives, and small pieces of bread with tomatoes and spices on top.
The main entree was spinach pasta fettucini with marinara sauce. I had two helpings it was so good. After that came a plate of asperagus and cheese crepes and a romaine lettuce salad with tomatoes, mushrooms, and a wine vinegar and olive oil dressing. For desert there were slices of fresh pineaple topped with small dollups of whipping cream, a gillato vanilla fudge ice cream, and to finish everything off, a fresh home brewed espresso. All in all, one of the best dinners we have ever had. Thank you Giangi and Paola.
