That is a Saturday menu, ham (Rose ham) and belly buttons which are five cheese tortellini pasta made with ricotta, aged parmesan, mozzarella, mascarpone, and aged Romano cheese. Beth invited her two little boy (friends) for the afternoon and I made them rice Krispy treats and I thought to give them a jolt with belly buttons as well. We will see if they ask for that again!
July is lovely here at Many Branches. Slow-moving and stress free. I refuse to think of anything unpleasant with such beauty and peace resting here.
Our Italy plans are to be firmed up this week, although they were pretty much firmed up with the payments; but, I need to know what I am doing for two weeks every day and every way. I used to whisk off every other month to Paris for antiques, but that stopped in 2005. My travels have been in America since then, so an international trip, alone, and at my age is something to really think about and one really has to want to go in order to actually do it. I am, however, meeting up with one of my daughters-in-law and her sister in Rome at the airport, so hopefully, I won't be left in luggage pick up riding the carousel for hours on end clutching my wedding attire.
Have a beautiful weekend, my friends. Oh, you might want to start watching Years and Years on HBO. You can catch up on the first three episodes at on Demand, HBO series. It will wake you up for sure.
