On Nov. 3rd Carlo and I held a dinnerparty in honor of his name day which was the next day. It was a fab night with great company. (Several of Carlo's coworkers, our neighbors, and a friend from London).
Two days of cooking and preparations preceded the big night. It all turned out to be a delicious feast!!!!
The menu included:
Antipasti- Olives, Bresaula, Capponata (typical Sicilian dip made with fried eggplants, kapers and olives, tomato sauce..), marinated artichokes, hummus
Pasta- Pasta Al Forno, with meat and without. (A baked pasta layered with fried eggplants, meat sauce, mozarella cheese and more layers of the same.)
Delicious wine!!!!
Secondi- Chicken Marsala, fresh spinach and portabella mushrooms
Desert- various cakes, ice cream, digestivo....
Carlo really knocked himself out and I surely learned quite a bit about Italian cooking. I'm starting to hold my own! :-)
Hope to have you at our dinnertable soon!
Cheers!
P.S. Sadly we only took one picture during the entire evening. I guess this means we had too good of a time to think about taking pictures! :-)
