Christmas was certainly different this year but I have to say that I enjoyed each day so far. When I first arrived in Rome I wondered if I could make friends here, but as you can see I have made many. We sat together for a really lovely Christmas dinner and enjoyed each others good company.
We start the day with a little music
 |
| Natalie and Lauren taking one for the team and cooking the chicken! |
 |
| Our lovely table pre-hurricane of food |
 |
Large shell pasta stuffed with squash, garlic and sage. Drizzled on top
is pecorino cheese. The cheese-less part is for Brad :) |
 |
| Aunt Linda's Swedish potato dish, mmmm it was good |
 |
| Green salad tossed with Italian pears, toasted almonds and drizzled with an olive oil-mandarin dressing. |
 |
| Chicken and carrots too! Oh and rice, that was still in the kitchen. |
 |
| Me, Edgar, Donna, Brad, Lauren, Natalie and Carlo. We are so pretty. |
I am just realizing now that I didn't take a picture of the best part, despite a unsuccessful city wide search for molasses I still made some pretty rocking gingerbread with a warm lemon sauce. Oh wow it was good. Thank you to everyone for making it a great Christmas!
