    Last night at Masseria Lama San Giorgio

    March 9, 2023 in Italy ⋅ ⛅ 70 °F

    I got back to the Masseria, and the weather was still nice out. I decided to pour myself some wine and head to the pool. I also put my story on, so I wore it at least once!

    After the sun went down, I went to my room to rest for a while before dinner. I also started to pack up some things I won't wear again this trip. And I put together for tomorrow and the way home.

    Dinner was early--I was there at 7:30pm. My table was back to the normal one. The guy next to me was watching videos of machines and then soccer, with the sound turned up. I also had a new waiter, who spoke to me in English.

    I had the antipasto, which was a ball of smoked mozzarella, wrapped in prosciutto. There was grilled zucchini and all was.on a bed of mashed potatoes with saffron. And it was topped with crispy capocollo. So good!

    For the main dish, I had gnocchi stuffed with spinach with a cheesy tomato sauce. It was good, but not as awesome as last night's pasts.

    My dessert was called "Sporcamuss". It was a lemony cream between two layers of puff pastry. The literal translation is, "dirty mouth," because the powdered sugar goes everywhere. It was great with my limoncello!

    The dining room was definitely livelier than it has been. A family who might have been Israeli was giving the waiter a run for his money. It was sometimes funny and at other times painful to watch. The woman made a big deal about being vegetarian. But then ordered fish. Turns out no red meat is vegetarian. The adult son was loud, too.

    It was time to go to bed and get a good night's rest for tomorrow!
