The benefits of a coffee house
- at home!
Rarely do I panic or pine for a cup of coffee when in Seattle (other places yes) as I know here in Seattle
there are coffee baristas
on almost every corner. I can count on getting my vital fluids without a hitch.
Often, if I have a free morning, I walk to the local Top Pot Doughnut, to write, research and sip a steamed coffee. Sometimes, I even have a doughnut.
I go there as much for a change of place, as the walk (145 calories burned) which covers some of the doughnut (which is 200 calories) and a little human interaction (anxiety and being nice burns more calories
than being calm, 15 calories burned?).
The reality is more often than naught, I don’t have the time so I drink at home, alone. Making a cup of coffee is easy, count your beans (42) wait to long steeping, add sugar and fake milk, and its hot. Sometimes it’s coffee and sometimes it’s a resemblance.
Having a real Italian espresso, that is a lot tougher to find. Some of the “sweet fruity” roasts, or “burnt” beans just don’t make a good espresso, and asking for a shot is often received with a shocked look.
At our shop we serve espresso and steamed coffee. We use Italian coffee roasted beans. The RDL Italia Espresso machine is the real deal and it makes a real coffee espresso, if you want. And it tastes just right. With innards to match full size commercial machines, the RDL can “pull” as many shots as you need without stopping. This is the machine for coffee!
Don't believe? Come Saturday the 15th to try your hand at making a cup and eat a cannoli too!

Italian Pesto!
without the garlic
Pesto has only taken root in North America in recent history, becoming popular in the 80's as a grocery store item. One could speculate that the ancient Romans, who made and ate a paste of cheese, herbs, salt, oil, vinegar, and nuts are the originators of pesto.
To make a typical pesto, you crush fresh young basil, Italian pine nuts, add Parmigiano-Reggiano, sea salt and olive oil. (The Silver Spoon New Edition )
That's all it takes; a mortar and pestle, elbow grease, and you can make your own. Or, you can use a food processor, though the results are less textural and more mushy, like a moist paste.
Garlic and cashews are also often on the list of ingredients. Commercially, cashews ($7 per pound) are often used as they are less expensive than Italian pine nuts,($63 per pound) while maintaining the correct texture or mouth feel. Our version does not include garlic nor cheese, both of which can easily be incorporated just before using or serving. This keeps the pesto more versatile to match the palate of your guests.
The company, La Favorita Live S.r.l., originally only sold their foods in the Piedmont and Liguria regions, using natural ingredients with simple commercial production.
Today, using what is considered the best for Pesto, basil from Genoa, "Basilico Genovese" is protected by the European Union with the Denominazione di Origine Protetta or the DOP designation. Pesto alla Genovese is an excellent representation of the quality the company still produces today, more than 60 years after its inception.
Making your own freshly made pesto, using young, freshly picked basil, is a great way to go. But, there is nothing like a jar of Pesto alla Genovese for ease of use and authentic taste!
This is definitely an Essential Pantry item! Add to a bowl of trofie pasta, and you have an authentic Lingurian delish dish!
