A Love Story...Dean & Deluca.

It may be that I´m the only person who really enjoy seeing the website of Dean & Deluca, or perhaps one of the few. I'm content with seeing the pictures and imagine the taste of local cheeses, breads and seafood ... and many of the best quality meat. How I´m going to do it? How can I live when the nearest store is 9 hours by plane? I have to go to New York just to sample one of their strawberries.




{Puede que sea una de las pocas personas que disfruta viendo la página web de Dean & Deluca, o quizá una de las pocas. Me conformo con ver las fotos e imaginar el sabor de sus quesos, panes y mariscos... y tantas carnes de la mejor calidad ¿Cómo demonios voy a hacerlo? ¿Cómo voy a vivir cuando la tienda más cercana está a 9 horas en avión? Tendré que ir a Nueva York solo para probar una de sus fresas}.
