Italian food

I'm taking an Italian foods class every Tuesday for the next 4 weeks. Actually, I assisting with the teaching, but rustic italian food is mostly foreign to me. I also have the good fortune to be seeing an Italian man that likes to eat. I did the whole culinary school deal, and truthfully only like to cook for others. Put a gun to my head and I still won't make a meal that is solely for me. Unfortunately I'm not great with savory foods, except my hispanic foods, and it has been expressed to me that my man is not happy about eating more beans. Damn.

I happen to be quite excited about the class, despite the carb-overload. The focus is on rustic and celebration Italian foods; breads and stuff. Actually, I think I signed up to assist just so I can learn to make Braciole. It's delicious stuff beef simmered in delicious sauce for hours. Mmmmmm. I can't wait to make me some braciole.
