Last night we made a type of appetizer that was made with pasta, consisting of oil, wine, eggs, and a little flour. We made small circles our of the pasta and put a wonderful cheese mixed with egg inside and then made a small cup out of it with crisscrossed dough on top. It is hard to explain, but they tasted delicious.
This afternoon five of us made lasagna. We made 10 pans of lasagna to feed customers through the weekend. The lasagna is made with fresh pasta, sauce with a little meat, mozzarella, parmesan, and a mixture of peas, milk, etc. I do not have the recipe yet, but I promise to get it for all my cooking friends. It is so interesting how they make it. It is definitely an established technique because they were very specific on how to arrange everything. I am anxious to taste it this weekend.
I mentioned to you in an earlier blog that two baby goats were just born. One baby goat was not doing well. It would not eat, so we have been feeding it with a bottle. This morning we were so excited that it started sucking. It looks like the baby will survive. I named it Sweet Pea.
After lunch we went into the forest and picked dandelions to use in the salad. It brought back childhood memories, when my mom used to do the same thing. Now we just try and get rid of them in our lawn with weed killer. It is amazing how creative the Italian farms are in using their surroundings.
We took Nina (the donkey) to be with another donkey to mate. It was hysterical. The poor male donkey was willing and able and Nina was having nothing to do with it. Nina would run away and refuse to go back, even though Madera (the daughter) was pulling her. I felt so bad for the male donkey. We finally gave up and were laughing all the way home. Nina was walking very fast to get back home.
Well it has been a long day and hope this blog is more agreeable than my Killer Day yesterday.
Ciao for now.
