I went to lunch today, someone order spaghetti alio olea (laugh did
I mangle that spelling) with broccoli raab. Looked good to me. I'd
make it like that any day.

Wound up in, how should I put it ... an Italian strip mall storefront
type of place. Not my usual destination. But okay. Well, turns out
the owners are from Naples, Italy. Food was pretty good, plenty of
different things you could order, not just baked stuff with red
sauce and melted cheese all over it. Many pasta/vegetable, sauce
combinations, and of course chicken/veal/whatever.

Well, holy crow, their plates were the size of ... well, bigger than
your standard keyboard. And full! With 5 people at the table, that
was a bunch of food!! Let's just say, set for dinner and lunch, at
least. Plenty of breads, and not just your usual Italian loaf.
