Feast at the House of Sbisa(*)

This is it. My last day at TAMU, at least for a while. Also my last meal at Sbisa for a while.

The only dish it offered was spaghetti & meatball. Oh well, noodles are noodles. Nice lid for the to-go plate. Much better than polysterene box. I had to eat my dessert first because as I was busy taking picture it started to melt and become lop-sided. A white blob dripped on my white pants and gradually changed to an earthy brown dot. Argh.The guy fixing my spaghetti let us put parmesan cheese on for ourselves. Normally I don’t put cheese on my spaghetti, but I don’t know […]
