Piadina

I had an early lunch today. To change it up a bit, I went out for lunch. I don't do it very often. I prefer to have lunch at home but today I was feeling like having something different. I ended up having a piadina. It's similar to a quesadilla. The piadina is like a tortilla but besides the flour they also add lard. Sounds pretty gross when you explain it but it's quite good. The thickness of the piadina is much thicker than a tortilla and the size of it is about the size of a burrito. The piadina is folded in half and you can put in whatever you like. The most traditional is with baked ham and a type of cheese called fontina. It's pretty good. Other types of cheeses include grana which is like Parmesan cheese and blue cheese. Other types of ham, bacon or tuna can be ingredients for a piadina.
I decided to stay downtown for the rest of the afternoon after having lunch. Before I came back home, I went to get ice cream again! I broke my rule of having ice-cream only on Tuesdays. It's actually not really a rule, it's more like a convenience rule. Anyway, I think I'm getting hooked but I just had to have it again! I got pear and chocolate again. I'll try other flavors next time.
Thursday evenings are scheduled as running days, like Saturdays are bike days. Tonight we went right after Riccardo got home from work. We ran for a good hour again. I had minor discomfort in the last 10 minutes of the run. We will see if my knees hurt again on Saturday when we go cycling.
