Day 7 Italy 2008

Today it has rained very hard. Still no internet. I called Nick from Cheryl’s phone to tell him we’re ok. He didn’t answer, so I left a message.

We relaxed today and did some laundry.

Tonight was pasta night in the kitchen of Casa Rondini! We were provided flour, salt and eggs and made our dough. Then, we pressed it through the pasta machine. After cutting round circes the size of biscuits, we put the pasta in little ravioli presses that Franco says his mother sent him.

Franco then cooked them and served them with various sauces. The first sauce was a tomato sauce, the second was a cream sauces with sage, and the third was olive oil with basil and rosemary. We had a great chocolate tarte for dessert.

We had a good visit with the others staying here. The first couple from Wales, Andrew and Wendy, arrived the same day as we did but were only staying one week. They will be leaving tomorrow.
