Alfa Romeo shares tasty new 4C sports car pics including interior

Alfa Romeo shares tasty new 4C sports car pics including interior | Italia Mia | Scoop.it

Alfa Romeo released most of the details on its new 4C sports coupe a couple of weeks ago, but they only included a few images to paw over. Now we're finally getting to see some more shots of the car, including our first official look at the interior. The glimpse inside the 4C shows us details we did not see in recent spy shots, details like the flat-bottomed steering wheel with paddle shifters, awesome leather-strap door pulls, heavily bolstered sport seats and copious amounts of exposed carbon fiber.
The new images don't provide a better look at the pushbutton gear selector or the digital instrument gauge cluster, but they do confirm that at least some models will use a traditional ignition key and a manual parking brake. The shots also give us some new exterior angles from which to admire this clean shape. Of course, we only have to wait until next week's Geneva Motor Show to see the 4C in person, so sit tight, we'll shortly bring you plenty of detailed shots of this exciting new coupe.

Special Tiny Lentils from Umbria

Special Tiny Lentils from Umbria | Italia Mia | Scoop.it

This past holiday I gave a good friend a package of Umbrian lentils as a part of our gift exchange. When she opened her package, she burst out laughing and soon I discovered why: she had included the exact same package of lentils in her box to me. [...]

Umbrian lentils are tiny and require just a short 20-30 minutes simmer to soften, which they do into a nice creamy texture while still holding their distinct shape. They have a rich, nutty taste and don't necessarily need a lot extras to make them flavorful, so you can cook them in water with beautiful results, although stock would add an extra richness. Because they are a little more expensive, I find that I like saving them for special occasions and dishes where they will really shine
