In the end... Party!Posted on 2007/12/24 12:24:33 (December 2007). [Sunday 23rd December 2007]
 And so it was, the party took place in a restaurant and we managed to reunite all friends coming from abroad too!
Leo and Elena deserve a special mention as they come respectively from Norway and Switzerland, but also Giova needs to be commended as he drove all the way down from Varese, a trait of highway that I know very well, as in the last 5 years I must have done the same for countless times!
Past memories aside, the party was also propaedeutic in order to organize the coming New Year's Party.
The venue was "la Casa del Prosciutto" (the Ham House), lovely little restaurant on the Fiesole hill, we had a lot of very good food, and apparently the group, after many years of diets and impossibility of finishing all the things that we prepare/order, ate a LOT. It was a long time since I saw Francesco having a FULL COURSE (starter, pasta, main dish, cake and coffee), but also the others were in good form so this time not a lot of food was leftover.
I had a marvellous saffron, aubergines and sausage pasta, followed by some "tagliata" (slices of sirloin steak) and a lovely panna cotta (which I believe is now popular also in England so I won't translate it).
Giulia was the star of the evening, of course being a little baby everyone wants to touch her, hold her, take pictures and so on... At a certain point of the evening I was trying to attract her attention to take a decent shot at her, and I was whistling to her like I do with cats... She was not impressed of course!
She is getting to understand her surrounding a little bit more, you can tell that she observes everything! Well she's got a long way ahead of her, in a way I envy her!
The dinner turned out to end quite late because the host kindly let us understand that it was time to move because they wanted to close... A great party, nothing OVERLYFANTASTIC, but for that I am sure that there will be other occasions, such as New Year where Giovanni and Elisa are going to prepare GAMES to play after dinner...
Last time we did something like that it ended with a massive crossword made by Francesco!!
