Presents from Firenze

pasta1.jpgMy brother in law just came back from Florence and brought me back a little bag of pasta. It is so pretty and colorful! I can’t think of anything better to use for my first try of cooking as a married woman. I have no idea what I would make, since I am a notoriously bad chef, but hey you’ve got to learn sometime right?

All of a sudden I have visions of some red wine, cheese, grapes, and a baguette being served on a little terrace over a semi-busy street while I am bustling around putting the finishing touches on dinner. I’m wearing a casual dress with a fitted top and full skirt that stops right at the knees, and have a rather nice apron over it. I have a tan. Chris is reading the paper, or a book, and sipping his wine. There is a baseball game playing on the radio and the Mets are winning but it’s a close enough score to actually want to listen and visualize. Perfect summer evening.
