"Scarpetta"

A "scarpetta" is when you take your bread and clean your plate from the yummy juice or sauce that's left on it! Etiquette says that it's bad manners to do it at a restaurant buuuuuut, you may do it at home! And when you have guests over, and they ask you if they can do "scarpetta" well, to the cook (me), it's a great honor meaning that what you cooked was sooo good, that they need to get the last bit in! And so scarpetta it was at our house!

They literally put pieces of bread into the pot to soak up the yummy juice from the mussel sauce!
After dinner we played UNO and had a "self inflatable camping mat" contest. The guys were showing off their gear and were all: "oh oh! mine's the best".
(yes they had their gear in the car, "be prepared" right"?)
The judges Mary, Luana, Me and Giulia
The Guys: Bebe, Diego and Enrico.
We were laughing soo hard!
Bebe & Luana brought their new born Carlo along,
so I took advantage to get a few pix!


He is just the calmest and happiest new born!!
