People really do eat big plates of it here. All the time it seems! I had a wonderful dinner last night of vegetable soup, salad and chicken. I am shocked. Pasta is one of my favorite foods and I just had to have some 'real' food! Today, on the other hand, we made pasta in my cooking class: two kinds! Then we ate it! There were 3 other women: a mother and daughter from Minneapolis (Anne & Nadine) and Eileen from Boston. We shared our own imperfections in the cooking process. Oh, no I put a hole in it - how carless of me! You mean I cut it too thin? Here you do it! We each had a shortcoming. As you would with a child we each confirmed, oh, size is not important it all will taste perfect or it's ok, the more holes the better! And in the end when we shared the finished product and the bottle of wine, it all was perfect. We found we had much in common on many levels and parted looking forward to being in contact again. For me, I am listening more to my inner conversations! Tonight I plan to have dinner with a woman & daughter, who reminds me of my sister, Maggie & niece Becca! Can't wait! Wonder if I will order pasta.....hmmmmmm!
Hello Karen! It is briarley and Deborah (your dinne friends)! We had a blast at dinner, as would anyone else that went to Fraschetteria Brunetti. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was as well! We had so much fun getting to know you and hope that You have so much fun on your journey. It is briarley typing and I hope that you eat LOTS of food for me!
ReplyDeleteA cooking class, I can't believe it. Sounds great, especially the eating part. I am looking forward to hearing about your trip to Assisi. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds like a dream. I love fresh pasta. I've never made it, but it sounds like fun. And to do so in Italy! Talk about a unique experience.
ReplyDeleteI find it amusing that your class included students from the states, too! What an amazing way to meet other Americans, by traveling all the way overseas.
Bon apetit!
