Sometimes...

Sometimes it just hits you... Yesterday was the most perfect day. Woke up early, had some fresh pineapple for breakfast, watched my nephew win a soccer game, came home and lounged for a while before heading to lunch at one of my sisters favorite restaurants only to find out that they are closed for a few weeks to remodel. That should have ruined the mood but we put our heads together and tried to figure out something else that was just as good but we decided to try a new restaurant instead and quickly found ourselves at Zeppole Baking Company. When we got to the counter to order, I was more than a little disappointed that I couldn't just tell them what to make for me, all the sammies were pre-made and they were not about to start changing one for me. So after I dealt with being forced into a pre-made sammie, I chose my soup and took my seat along with everyone else. Once I spread the pesto-mayo and took my first bite, I was hooked! As I continued to devour the delicious soup and sandwich I became more surprised by the minute, this sandwich was changing the world as I knew it! The home cooked artisan type bread with a fire brick oven baked taste was just too much for my simple palette and it succumbed to the yumminess. There have been a few times in my life when a food changed my outlook... but this was overwhelmingly delicious! If you ever get a chance to go to Zeppole Baking Company, at least the one in Boise, ID, I totally and unequivocally recommend, nay, encourage, nay, DEMAND that you to go! It could very well be the sammie that propels your very existence to new culinary heights! Continuing on... After we left the restaurant, we went to the outlet mall kitchen store and got some amazing deals on some great kitchen stuff! Got home and hung out for a little while before starting dinner which was ahi tuna, kane salad, rice and grilled egg plant and zucchini with a japanese marinade and a little mango salsa to top it off. Yeah, another epic meal! After dinner was cleaned up we spend an hour or so in the hot tub, went shopping for a couple hours and turned in, totally exhausted! What a fantastic day it was! I hope to remember it for a VERY long time! *I owe everything in this post to a great sister and my wonderful wife! I seriously love you both!
