Design Dolcezza

Tommaso slept in today....but then he had no nap....but he did go on the potty...so, er...emm.
Went to Mass at St. John the Evangelist, followed by yet another trip to WallyWorld! It was an overcast rainy day. (As I type this, it is thundering and being quite stormy.) We lunched on Spaghetti alla Sepia and dined on Chicken stuffed with asparagus and sun-dried tomato.

Tommaso spent the day running laps in the house and bonding some more with Frank. They looked at many big trucks online and practiced counting.

Tomorrow afternoon, we head on a loooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg drive to my parent's house where there will be no internet access (wah!)

So much we wanted to do, but when you have a bambino around, plans always need to be flexible. Today we fed the fish in the pond some stale bread.

Well, we went to the fair today. I'll let the photos tell the story.

As you can see here, Tommaso and Frank had some fun on the swing. He seems to have really taken a liking to him! To toast Frank’s survival of Tommaso climbing all over him, we(the adults) had a shot of Crema di Limoncello made by our cousin Giovanna in Italy. TASTY!
For dinner, we had Spaghetti al Pesto di Pistacchio con Bacon(needless to say there is NO PANCETTA in Wayne County, PA) YIAM!

yet another example of Italian genius

It was a busy morning as we prepared for my road trip with Tommaso. We left the house at 3:00, survived the SUREKILL(er, I mean Schuylkill) and made it to Allentown,PA by 4:40. Early dinner at Chianti Italiano Ristorante
We had an Appetizer of Calamari Fritti
Awesome Bread…I think we had three baskets worth. The bread alone was worth the trip!
We had: Cheese Tortellini Bolognese(Frank), Veal Francese(Tom), Veal Marsala(AnnaMaria) &
Eggplant Parmigiana(Me)

No tears shed when we said goodbye to hubby. We had told Tommaso about the trip knew what was coming…he hugged Scimmia and announced all points of interest as we rolled along the Northeast Extension. A short pit stop at Turkey Hill Market(yes, Turkey Hill Ice Cream has a market and they sell gas, too!)
Quick bath for Tommaso at 10pm.and Butter Pecan Ice Cream for the grown ups.
Tommaso slept in his special travel bed till 4:30 then came into bed with me for a couple hours.
