Ok, so last night my adorable cousin Amedeo, who is made up of sugar, honey, hugs and kisses, put together an evening for some of our cousins at one of our family member's pizzeria here in Palermo. It was insane! First off, the table must have been at least a hundred feet long, every seat had a cousin of mine in it! Each one more enthusiastic and vibrant than the next, I laughed so hard and so long, I almost fell out of my chair. I got to see Luigi..my birthday twin, Roberto, Nadia, Patrizia, Vincenzo, Massimo, Renza, Claudio, Rosaria, and a bunch more. My man is out of town so Manuela, my best(Italian)girlfriend went with me, who is equally as nuts as all of them. They served over 30 pizzas in 30 minutes, it was wonderful and sooooooo good! My choice was gorgonzola (but not the nasty kind), cherry tomatoes and fresh sauce....mmmmmmm!!! I think I'm going to eat my left overs for breakfast, like a good American girl ;)))) I'm the only person here who does left overs, it is not looked upon as lovely or gastronomically correct...Oh well! I hate wasting food, especially this good. My friend ordered one with pesto, parmigiano and mozzarella and my cousin next to me got arugola, tomatoes and prosciutto. These pizzas are flat, simple and absolutely delicious. My cousin Ninetta and her husband Benny have done a fine job with that little place, congratulations guys!
Thank you to Amedeo for planning last night, I think we will make a monthly event out of it considering my clan here is at least 300 deep and this is going to be the best way to see them all. The only problem is the scorching Sicilian sun has finally begun to burn..it's beach season baby and there are a couple of tiny bikinis I'd like to get my booty into, at this rate I'm in trouble!!! Bye for now..going for a run..a long one! Hope you are well ;)
