Cibo dalla Puglia (Food of Puglia)
Burrata... this interesting looking package is creamy, melted mozarella wrapped in regular fresh mozarella and tied with a string! This is from the region of Puglia, the heel of Italy.
And for dinner one night, I had orecchiette con cime di rapa (with turnip tops). The turnip tops are a seasonal specialty, available only in the fall and winter. Orecchiette con cime di rapa is considered the 'royal' dish of Puglia. Tastes great!

All I can say is, don't try to eat one whole thing on your own. It's super rich and heavy! Last night I couldn't resist and visited the gelatteria around the corner. A scoop of chocolate rum and marion glace (chestnut) on a cone. Amazing. Yup, I just might come home 2 sizes bigger.
Haha .. speak for your self ... I'm down to much on 2 or 3 hehe =) ... i love cheeeeeze ... especially those than melts in the mouth hehe ...
love itally already hehe ... will visit one of these days hehe ...

Hey, what are orecchiette? Is it filled or no? It looks like it is just tortellini-shaped but unfilled. What's that bottle on the table -- just mineral water with gas? And that burrata - it doesn't even really look like it is edible, but it sounds good! Is the string made of mozzarella too or are you not supposed to eat that? Who knew you can use cheese to WRAP things! Also, I think we need to see a pic of this infamous gelatteria (hint hint).
Orecchiette means 'small ears' and it's not filled. It's hand-shaped using your thumb. The bottle is mineral water. They don't serve tap water, only bottled water. And you can choose between acqua frizzante (sparkling) or acqua naturale (no gas!).
CY, does this exercise program include tennis??
Well, I'm sure u have u'r yoga ,pillates, and u'r hiking activities to keep you nice and trim ... but I sure can impart some of my tennis knowledge to you and Andy if you guys want haha =) ... It's a good cardio workout in a sense ... but definitely needs more hand and eye coordination and the 3 activities above =)
