Day 56 ~ Tiramisù

I discovered this dessert in my twenties at Ciao, an Italian pizzeria that, lo and behold, still stands at the same location (I just checked). Not only that--my favorite pizza, Sandra, is still on the menu. Soon after, I went to study in Germany and met a professional cook, a transplant from Spain, who made tiramisù. I keep her recipe to this day, the oldest I have, typewritten. Less than five years later, I got the recipe from my Italian boyfriend's mom. I keep that one too, an email sent from her to him. My current recipe is very similar to that one, just varying some amounts. And that is something I love about tiramisù, that as long as the ingredients are the right ones, it always comes out fine despite small variations in quantity. As I have been doing for the past years, I'll bring tiramisù to my Thanksgiving host next week. I bought the lady fingers already today.
