good news

i've written here a lot about how colombian coffee farmers are struggling, about social unrest in the coffee sector in latin america, etc. so today i wanted to give you a good-news story about a colombian coffee farmer who's going to make it through these tough times with a high-quality, organic coffee. inspiring.

back on the subject of bread -- when i went to rome myself last year, i clearly remember walking across the street from my little hotel into the nearest nabe espresso bar and chowing down a couple of the ubiquitous roman tramezzino, or white-bread tea-sandwiches. these common roman snacks are surprisingly delicious, even tho' frankly i would prefer them on ciabatta.

this article has a nice discussion of them. you could reproduce them at home if you had a pullman bread pan, and made a high-quality white sandwich bread (in french, pan de mie). luckily, pullman pans aren't hard to find. . .
