The Start of Summer: A Quick Recap

I can't believe it has already been over a month since my last post. I have been pretty busy with travel, work and visitors.

Here is a quick recap through some pictures:

the best hot dog, fries and onion rings at Glenwood.


lunch at Momofuku in NYC

followed by a walk on the High Line in NYC

then it was off to the Dominican Republic for the wedding of one of my best college friends

my supply of America essentials to bring back to Italy

 off to Bologna for another wedding

 followed by Ferrari Family Day 2013

with my Aunt Mae who came all the way from NYC to see the factory

sis in law and her bf at Hostaria La Frasca

We had three courses plus a couple bottles of Lambrusco and water for 35 euros per a person. There is no menu, just what is available for the day which is just the type of restaurant I prefer here in Italy. The food was great (a selection of prosciutto, salame, parmiggiano, and gnocco fritto followed by eggplant orecchiette, then braised duck and pork with potatoes), but if you are looking for a quiet romantic dinner then I would stay clear of this place as the owner/hostesss/chef is a bit of a character. 

As you can tell, it's been quite a busy few weeks and it will not be quiet again until after August vacation! 

Next on my list: make homemade bagels, go to the beach in Tuscany, host some more friends from home and another wedding, but this time in Wales!
