Course he is also half Italian and can remember his grandmother, Flomana Rosana, stringing homemade pasta through their house and not allowing Josephine Rosana Donatelli (his mom)to cook it."
Clara - HOGGING - I love it! I enjoyed your husband's comments - thought provoking - I hadn't thought of it that way ie by taking risks I am creating excitement for myself. Perhaps positive retirement could include more risktaking.
What wonderful lyrical names - Flomana Rosana...... Josephine Rosana Donatelli ......Josephine needs to finish with 'a' - G's Italian is simple; it just includes the 'a' after most words. I can feel a song ........
Speaking of G he has risen to the occasion by offering to cook his famous Roman Spring Lamb (next blog)which will take away some of the pressure (but may lessen the risktaking and excitement.)
'Out of Africa' is simply stunning. It would look great with neutrals.

Roman Spring Lamb sounds plenty exciting. I would just sit back and enjoy, if I were you. And you are right, it is Josephina.
ReplyDeleteNeutrals are the order of the day for tomorrow.
The title will be Everything Old is New Again. An oversized tunic to be worn with, dare I say it, shoulder pads and leggings. That should give us something to COG about once we stop salivating over your menu and recipes. My poor husband was transported back to Tuscany and a six hour meal he once enjoyed there. I had to hear all about the bread and the wine and the bread and the wine at 7am. After all, man cannot live by bread alone.
