Fan throws dough; Italy blows game

Metro posted this picture of an Italy fan throwing dough (is that a Throw Dough?) at the Italy-Slovokia game in the FIFA World Cup.

Italy had a shocking loss (3-2) against Slovakia at Ellis Park in Johannesburg, South Africa. Fabio Cannavaro, 36, is the captain for the Italian international team. On the FIFA website had some harsh words about the state of soccer in Italy and the loss to Slovokia, who are World Cup noobs.

"Thursday was one of the ugliest nights ever," he said. "There was insecurity, fear. Slovakia played calmly, not us. (In) the faces of my team-mates there was too much tension. The match on Thursday was our worst."

I was sad to see Italy booted from the tournament. I am a fan of AS Roma. The Italian international team only had ONE player from AS Roma, the lonely bearded midfielder, Daniele De Rossi. The team was still full of hunks, but none as hunky as Totti.

Tales of Pizza: Part Four: Barquitos

When I was a young student of Richmond Public Schools, we were often served a very weird pizza-like dish called "barquitos" for lunch in the cafeterium (cafeteria+auditorium+gymnasium). I have NEVER been able to find out anything about barquito pizza on the internet. I did however, find out that barquito means little boat in Spanish. A barquito is basically a french bread pizza topped with seasoned taco meat (probably left over lunch the day before) and cheddar cheese. I feel like maybe there was a similar dish with sloppy joe meat but who can really be sure. I have done my best to block out school lunch from my memories. What is this dish? I only ever had it in elementary school. Is it the concoction of a lunch lady? Is it a real food item? What is a barquito?
