Tuesday, May 15, 2007
Laundry day, relax day, reading day, e-mail day, you get the point.
Today’s quote from one of the books I’m reading: “…or was it because he had simply started to get old, a process inevitably triggered the minute we give up our visions of the future.”
Word or phrase of the day in l’italiano: Vorrei una birra e un bicchiere de ghiaccio por favore. (I would like one beer and a glass of ice please)
Jamie and I decided to plan a meal for her friends on this coming Thursday. A simple way of saying Grazie (thank-you) and Arrivederci (good-bye) as the school year and my Italian travels come to a close.
Rome lies in the Lazio region of Italy and is noted for many foods, including spaghetti alla carbonara, in which spaghetti are tossed with bacon, garlic oil, and Parmesan cheese. The unmentioned ingredient is raw egg. This dish in one of several on our 3 course menu. Part of the fun is shopping for the ingredients in a foreign market. It’s like the Italians have a different word for everything. More on that meal later this week.
Found a 2 cent copy shop that I thought my Southern Californian siblings would enjoy.

What happens when two different cultures clash? Guinness and Pizza.
