Cooking on Tuesday

The food plot thickens.

Today after language class, we had COOKING CLASS.   So here's what we made (and then subsequently ate)

Bruscetta with ricotta and pears (surprisingly good!)
Focaccia with olives and tomatoes. from scratch.
Spinach ravioli in a sage sauce. from scratch
Tuscan chicken with roasted potatoes.
Panna Cotta. with strawberries

Between us, Donald and i helped make everything in one way or another.
AND, we learned that when you have leftover filling from the ravioli, you make it into little balls, and then, oh my, you bake them and you have malfatti.

So the sun is shining, it's warm, but it has rained almost every day we have been here. We are waiting on the rain today-- there are dark clouds, but we haven't seen any rain yet. Starting tomorrow, though, it should turn hot. Ah, vacation. All we have to worry about is the weather.
