Update.

Today I learned to make a new pasta sauce. You don't cook this pasta sauce, and that is what I like about it, it's just super super easy! After cooking I went and got some sun. Then I went to go to the bike store but sadly it was closed, instead I took a much needed sleep, seeing how I didn't really sleep last night. But while I slept let me say, I dreamt the whole time and I had one crazy dream. I woke up and took a nice shower, it felt very relaxing. When I take showers like that, I thank God for the ability to take a nice relaxing shower. Then I went and got some dinner. It was very very good. I had raw salmon with a little bit of olive oil and lemon on top, and then I had some spinach with a little bit of olive oil and lemon on top. Mmmm mmmm good. Well really that is all, wait wait wait, hold the phone, I forgot to say that it rained/thunder stormed today for about maybe 20 minutes. Well thats all, really this time. Have a nice day or night depending on where you are whilst reading this. Mahola.

Grandpa's 35th Birthday?!?!? Haha!

Hey all, it's me Gia..again...as always! So I just wanted to say high to everyone and say, "HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDPA!!!!". Well, to be honest I don't really know how old my Grandpa is, I mean he has been telling me that he is 35 since I think I was 5, so it that is right he should be about "50" by now. Haha!

I Bought A Plant.

I know what your thinking, how could I buy a plant with only 2 more weeks left here in Italy. Wow, that is the first time that I have thought about that, I only have two more weeks in Italy...wow. Getting back, I bought a small little plant for 2.50 and I like it, and at the end of my stay here in Italy, I am going to give it to Grazia as a way to remember me. Here are some pics of my pretty little plant. And don't freak out, yes there are 4 photos but there is only one plant.






Secondly, I am COVERED in mosquito bites. COVERED. Neck, chest, stomach, legs and back, all over. How is that possible? Oh and tomorrow I learn to make tiramisu! Cool!

Night. Peace and Love, Gia

It's Hot In The Kitchen.

Hey folks, just wanted to say hi. Hi. On the other hand, it was really hot today in the kitchen. 104 degrees to be exact...wow. I know. While you think it's hot where you are at, please take a moment and read the 1-0-4 again, embrace you weather. Now I am going to go sun tan, enjoy your day. -Gia

Updated Blog.

So I just added some things to this blog and I would like to know what everyone thinks of it. And I know what you are asking yourselves, "Gia, you're coming home from study abroad on the 6th of July, aren't you going to stop writing in your blog?!?!?". And the answer to that my good friends is hopefully not. I enjoy doing this and I would really like to keep it going. I am going to have to find different material to write about, but hopefully writing my blog on something on there than just my study abroad experience with force to get a hobby. Maybe photography. STOP! Back to the point! What do you think of my blog, and my last post for that matter? Night, Gia.

Updates!!!

Hello all, I am here to give an update, because sadly I have neglected you all. So sorry. Here is the update, I went to a bar-b-q last night. Let's just say it was not my favorite thing by a mile. Let's just say bar-b-qs in the US make it for me. Nothing like being with my girls or family up in Lake Geneva, or together anywhere, and just spending time together. Here are a few photos that are sticking out to me at the moment






But on the other hand, don't think that I haven't been working in the kitchen because I HAVE!!! Here are some photos of the pasta which I made ALL by MYSELF!!! And the Tart that I just put the toppings on, don't put me down just yet, I mean come on look how good that looks!!!! MMMM!!!

Bonjour!

Hello all. It is me, Gia. Just wanted to give you all an update on what I have done and what I have made. Well firstly, I can't remember how many days back, but I made lasagne verde al forno, and for all the people who know me, well you know how happy I am, and I mean really really happy! Then I went to Provence, France for the weekend. It was simply amazing. If you have never been out of the country, go. If you have have never been to France, go. If you have never been to Provence, go. So, for the sake of saying it over again, it was really a lot of fun and you should go. I got some cool things in Provence. It was very hot in Provence, it was 100 degrees at 10AM, but we went to a cooler place, so no worries about heat stroke, even though I really thought that I was going to have one. Then today I made tortelloni with spinach and ricotta, let's just put it this way...heaven. Really. I know that this sounds weird, but when I learn to make something new and it tastes amazing, I always picture the same thing in my head: it's all of my family and friends at a table eating the meal and just truly enjoying the company that they are with. I have this picture in my head all the time, summer or winter, I just want all of my loved ones to come together and enjoy it. Just to be happy. Really is there any greater treasure on this planet? I didn't think so. Well here are some photos, I hope you enjoy them. Later!
