Molta Bene

This mug of mint hot chocolate was pretty amazing, as recommended by Jackson Stewart.

The food at training camp has been fabulous. BMC Racing Team's new chef, Massimo Carolo, served up some incredibly delicious meals. Unfortunately, despite running/walking nearly daily and trying to eat healthy, the pounds just aren't coming off. At least not at this camp.

Here's a sampling of the cuisine:

Lots of vegetables and a little pasta.

The chicken pieces were very tender.

Yes, that's risotto next to the pasta.

I really like the tomatoes with cheese (lower right).

There's some potatoes hiding under all that salad.

Dessert was amazing. Most days, I tried to steer clear of it.

Maybe the beans are keeping me from shedding pounds. There they are again.

And one more shot of desert.
