I wouldn't have thought so either. I can say that having Italian food at friends houses is fairly different than restaurants, plus Italian deli's in NYC are heaven pretty much.

I don't think I've ever had one of my posts quoted so much.

I loved many of the pizzas I had in Italy (last visited in 2015- Rome), and not a one resembled anything I’ve seen in the USA.
One of my favorite pizzerias/Italian restaurants closed sometime in 2024. It was a unique dining experience. The owner was a Sicilian immigrant who was something like a 5th generation restauranteur. Some of her ingredients she obtained through old family connections and shipped all the way here to the D/FW Metroplex.
So even though her menu was mostly typical Americanized Italian dishes, her ingredients, recipes, and flavors were not.
For example, she imported capers via her family’s connections. Capers are something I generally don’t eat: I’m an extremely sensitive sodium-dependent hypertensive who HAS to watch his intake. So, despite loving salty dishes, I don’t get them often, and I’ll occasionally eschew certain ingredients in certain dishes. Capers, being salt bombs, are often passed on.
But hers? The first bite of one of her dishes with capers was a revelation. The ones she used were salty, but not inescapably so. Instead, their flavor was subtle & complex. For the first time in my life, I could truly taste what a caper is- a pickled flower blossom. IOW, while her capers brought salty and briny flavors, there were also obvious floral and herbal notes.
She also did things with eggplant that made me reevaluate that particular vegetable, something only a handful of other cooks have done.

I'm told the longer you wait in the ER, the better sign it is. If it was more serious you'd be seen sooner. But it never really feels like that when you're at the ER, does it?
Anyway, good luck.

Appreciated. Thats always been my experience with self inflicted issues as well.
Little over 4 hours to be told 'She's fine.'
Good times.

'City-killer' asteroid 2024 YR4 could hit the moon instead of us, scientists say
Asteroid 2024 YR4 has a 2.3% chance of hitting Earth in the year 2032. But according to new estimates, it may have an even smaller chance of hitting the moon instead.
