Italian grilled cheese sandwiches

Wow was that ever good!  Today I had something I have never had before for lunch, mozzarella en carozza which was basically Italian grilled cheese sandwiches.  It is two thick pieces of whole wheat bread with cheese in between and then covered in “carozza” and baked or deep fried.  As far as I could determine the “carozza” is either bread crumbs or cornmeal.  Either way, they served it hot, covered it in tomato sauce and of course topped it with parmesan cheese. It was delicious and a nice change from the ordinary.  Try it if you get the chance.  Today, unfortunately, nothing new, just back at the transcribing.  I made really good progress last night finishing more than I had expected; today I start at “M”.  I am now developing a new anxiety about losing these lists; it is too much work to replace them.  This weekend will be filled with work with the fun exception of my nephew’s second birthday party on Saturday. It is always fun and a great way to spend an afternoon! I should get back to the work soon. I have made a great, first-hand discovery; when you are doing something that is your passion it doesn’t seem like work at all.  Although I find this transcribing mindless I have endless energy for it because it is something for myself, for my cookbook, something which will help make my passion come alive.  And for that I can work and work.  Apparently, all those interviews of celebrities saying their work is not work at all but play is true.  Now if only I received their salary!
