This is so wonderful! I grew up in a neighborhood of Italian immigrants and remember eating food exactly like this at their houses. Except I remember there being a thin, tart red sauce over the beef slices instead of the salsa verde. Nonetheless, I'm really grateful for the recipe - always looking to recreate the flavors of my childhood.

I grew up in a family of friendly vultures. Anything, on any plate, was fair game. By the time I went to college, I had associated sharing food with "hey, I like you". Well, the first day of college my roommate had a box of oreos. I, naturally, snatched a few. She, in a polite way, told me that they were hers. I was crushed! I was completely convinced that she utterly hated me, and couldn't understand why she was being so nice 10 minutes later.
Obviously, I learned that some people are just not sharers.

What a sweet video! I love how deliriously happy Rick looks when he's on the tractor or handling his plants. It's clear that those fruits and vegetables and grown with great love.

I always like adding some ham or bacon!

Oh, Ed...those photos are torturous. I would like a sunny nook, some tea, and a big slice of the olive oil cake, please.

On my walk this morning I detected a hint of cinnamon roll wafting out of a house, and I haven't stopped craving some form of breakfast pastry since. This will do nicely!

This sounds like such a lovely sandwich - smokey ham mingled with creamy avocado can only be a good thing.

beautiful, crusty, crackly french baguette. They come out of the oven and disappear within 5 minutes (along with a stick of butter!)
