Open-faced Summer Sandwich (2)

A very quick dinner:

ciabatta bread

spinach

sliced tomato

parrano cheese

The latter of which we found as a special at Hannaford, and is described as:

"The unforgettable cheese with a disctinctly Italian temperament; the alluring nutty flavor of a fine-aged Parmesan with the versatility of a young Dutch gouda."

And it is so good.

Terra Cafe

Terra Cafe is a strange place. It was started by one girl (or so I've heard) at RPI a few years ago -- it's a little restaurant that only serves food Wednesdays from 11:30 to 1:30, and they use all natural and local ingredients (or so I've heard). Bean and I went there this morning, and although it was delicious, it way too filling for breakfast. But! Everything was scrumptious. We started with coffee.

Look at the cream cup!

There are only two menu choices each week; one meat and one vegetarian. Simon got chicken parmesan, and I got eggplant. For dessert there was a frosted sugar cookie shaped like a bunny (or, in our waiter's words, a molar).

This place is just such a wonderfully un-ordinary thing to have at RPI.
