Dining in Italy


As you all know, we celebrated Joe’s 55th Birthday at the Villa in style. Pictures cannot capture it all, but we did sing to him (in Italian) with the help of our chef, Luciano. Please join in, you know the tune :

Buon compleanno a te
Buon compleanno a te
Buon compleanno a Giuseppe
Buon compleanno a te


Marge volunteered to be the chief cook at the villa and came up with some fantastic dishes, despite being challenged by the labels on the spices (all in Italian) and some unusual utensils. We loved it all. This is a fritatta that was incredible!
We didn’t get photos of all the food, but believe me, it was fantastic.

Thanks for posting this, Karen! I must add that we were so enchanted with ourselves that evening that we actually sang it several times, in three-part harmony! Joe (Giuseppe) may have gotten tired of it, but none of the rest of us did!

I have one of Margene's recipes that I will post tomorrow.
