Home 2.0

Ok, now that things are somewhat settled I can take a minute to show you what "home" is like. (Don't worry mom & dad, it's not my REAL home...hah) ok... so, this is our house. I say our because I live with Anto (an intern-turned chef that's been here for 3 years) and Dante (a former student who's now interning with me). Both are great roommates and we end up relaxing together with a bottle of wine (or 4) nearly every night. The second, third, and fourth pics are of our living room, pretty much the center of our social lives at the moment. Basically, if we're at home, we're relaxing here. I've got a few pics of my room, but Picassa only lets me post a max of 4 at a time, so i'll have to post them as a seperate entry.

Oh, and as far as an update on the other aspects of Tuscan life, we finished my first class last week. As an "advanced class" we had a great time teaching 12 cooking enthusiasts all kinds of semi-professional (read: professional, but modified for the home) cooking techniques. I've discovered a love of pasta carbonara, and i've gotta admit (sorry mom!) i'm actually starting to take a liking to Tuscan pasta. Dont go too crazy now, i wont be having too much pasta back in the states, but if i make it, i bet you and i'd BOTH love it.

Oh, and don't worry, i'm gunna learn as much as i can about making tuscan dishes and post recipes ASAP. Until the next post, much love to all, and keep commenting! It reminds me to mention all the things i'm forgetting!

CIAO!
