almuerzo

Keeping up my food end of the bargain...

For lunch we bumbled our way through ordering at Pani, conveniently located around the corner in Palermo Hollywood.  It's a vintage-styled bakery with mega sandwiches, salads and $4 USD bottles of 'water with gas'.

Greg's sammie had 2 fried pork tenderloin cutlets sandwiching ham and cheese, with fried onions, bookended by a sweet brioche bun.  Sinful.

I opted for a croque monsieur that was adequately sauced and cheesy.  A little odd was the bread - it was basically unsweetened yellow cake sliced inch thick.  Huh. 

And a couple random grocery store pics:

Another gem: we've learned the word for cold meats (fiambres).  Coupled with 'queso and vino', we're set for ordering dinner out!
