It has been a lazy day after the adventures of yesterday. I am laying in bed with my faithful hot water bottle after a great dinner with the miller (the man who mills all the flour for Viola) and his wife.
A type "A" personality follows you even to Italy. I made Cavatilli for dinner tonight because Viola had never heard of making them with Ricotta cheese. So I taught her!! Wouldn't you know that I would take control of my surroundings?
The feedback I got is that they really could not taste the Ricotta cheese, only the flour. That teaches me to show off!! Viola is going to teach me her recipe for making Gnocchi (with potatoes). She said they are much lighter. I also told her about making biscotti with espresso; she had never heard of that either. It is great sharing recipes.
It is really fun to be able to sit and listen to everyone talk at dinner and not have to participate. Now I know that some are thinking how difficult it is for me to not talk, but I actually enjoy the sound of the italian language. I still suck at understanding what anyone is saying and people just look at me with deer in the headlight eyes when I attempt to talk in Italian.
Tomorrow is Carnivale in Pari, so I am excited to participate in the event.
Ciao for now.
