Our First House Guest


In Italy, at least for us, no one is allowed to stay in our apartment if they come and visit. They must register with the local police and stay in a hotel or hostel or something due to the anti-terrorist laws here. But last night we had a very uninvited guest in our apartment - in our kitchen to be more exact. A centipede found its way onto our tiny kitchen counter, and the entertainment for the night (after our first homemade dinner and watching La Vita E Bella) was trying to catch the thing and putting it outside. It took many seconds of crafty thinking to blow it onto a flat surface and then use the old glass and piece of paper trick. Eventually we did get him outside and out of our kitchen!

Since Julie and I have been feeling under the weather for the past couple of days, last night we made pasta with olive oil and got giant bottles of sprite and watched La Vita E Bella on our very comfortable couches.

This is going to be a very short blog since I am starving. Instead of eating pizza I had lettuce for the the fiber and I am very very hungry now.

I had a wonderful Italian meal in NJ on Friday with Aunty Rose..... gamberoni wrapped with ..... OH MY GOD it was good..... and then, somewhere else, I had caprese salad... oh... that was down in Little Italy in NYC at Pelligrini's...the mozzarella di bufala was OK..... pretty fresh but not like Napoli!!! The linguine was a little heavy though....

Baci baci.... Aunty H
