**** Both Tarttoria Firenze and Sushi Yaro have closed
It's kinda late…..so just something quick for tonight. Sometimes, it's all about getting just what you wanted.
I was pretty bushed the other evening, the Missus was working, and I needed to stop by Henry's on Genesee to pick up some stuff. I decided to stop by Trattoria Firenze, first thinking of some pizza, but not wanting anything too heavy, ordered the Italian Sub. Being just $5.75, I really didn't expect much. I ordered, did my shopping, and picked up the sandwich on my way back to the car……
It was still warm when I made it home. The simple white paper……didn't look like anything much…..
It was nicely toasted…… I'm not so much into over-stuffed sandwiches, so the slices of salami, pepperoni, cappacola, and ham did nicely by me. The crust was nicely toasted and crusty…. Italian Dressing didn't over-power anything…..
But there was something a bit more to this…. I opened up the sandwich, and sniffed…. the sandwich had a mild buttery-garlic flavor….. they had used garlic bread spread! It was just what I wanted; nothing really heavy, but something with flavor……
I have a couple of funny observations about the place, but I'll save that for another day…..

Here's my tenth million photo of sashimi from Sushi Yaro…….
When the Missus is working evenings, I'll often just pop by, get some sashimi and gohan (rice), and that'll do it for me……
On this evening, just as I was finishing my sashimi, another plate came out.
Knowing your Itamae has its benefits. Sam thought he had something special on his hands, and wanted to make sure I had it. These were two huge amaebi….enough for a meal in itself.
The shell around the head was a bit too thick to eat; but everything else was fair game…..
Especially this:
Both amaebi were full of eggs! Talk about delici-yoso!
Sam told me that every one of these he had on hand were full off eggs, and I was lucky to have come in that evening…. too bad the Missus wasn't here, She would have gone to town.
Sometimes it all works out….. you're in the right place at the right time! I'm sure you've had those moments, right?
