Day old bread
Originally uploaded by simple.joys
Every Saturday, I plan my menu for the week so that I can go grocery shopping accordingly. I knew that I wanted to make Ribolitta on Valentine's Day, and it calls for "day old bread". So I have to buy the fresh Italian baked bread early in the week and let it "age".
It isn't a very romantic meal, but it always reminds us of the first time we tried this Tuscan soup in a Florence restaurant frequented by the locals. We went to this restaurant 4 times during our stay in that city- ordering Ribollita every time. And upon the first spoonful, we immediately travel back in time to that romantic trip to Italy.
