To ask you for your happy (multicultural or unicultural) Friday?

[MonnaLisa]

Hello & ciao! I am Italian, DH's a Scot, kids are English and we live in the South of England. We are having wine, eating chicken and listening to the Rolling Stones because my DH only likes music by old, dead people.What are you doing o MNetters?

Kalispera sas! I'm a Brit living abroad, currently sitting on my balcony enjoying a nice cool evening. Moldovan neighbours chattering quietly and giggling next door, can't understand a word they're saying but they sound very happy and in love.

I can also hear the Black Eyed Peas blasting in the distance from what I think is an Airbnb. 'My lovely lady lumps' sounds hilarious sang in a German accent

Drinking scotch and chatting with DH.

In my pyjamas on the sofa with DH watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix. We've both watched them all before but are rewatching.

As-Salam-u-Alaikum SimonJT! You live in a cool place! I loved living in London! & Kalispera Nonstopbuttmachine.

We are now looking at houses and planning our future life if I get this job next week. I need some good luck, fellow MNetters. I had a really shit period lately, people in my family dying, losing my job (department shut down not my fault) and need need need my destiny to turn around. Either that or learn to live like the Dickensian poor with pride. Soot on checks, going up chimney, that sort of thing.

Blobbyweeble scotch is the drink of angels! :D

Hellooo highheelsandbobblehats, going to google Gilmore Girls as I do not know it. And jammies for me soon.

MonnaLisa It certainly is, have loved it since I was old enough to drink.

@MonnaLisa nope English too I'm afraid. Rather uninteresting! Must be my guac skills you're warming to.

Guac is the food of the gods!! If you make good guac you are my friend.

Guacamole with warm fresh tortillas is avocado heaven. My husband doesn't like guacamole, he only likes avocado as dessert food, with sugar.

Good luck with the job MonnaLisa

I have to say I was impressed at this one. We've grown tomatoes this year so i finely chopped one and mixed it in, really added to it.

@LinoleumBlownapart avocado as dessert? With sugar? Really??

I wish I was Italian. Or Scottish.

What’s your favourite pasta recipe, OP?

@funghi roasted peppers and tomatoes under the grill and then whizzed up together in a food processor, add basil, pine nuts, olive oil fresh ground pepper. A dash of cream if you are the indulgent kind. Short pasta. A dusting of freshly grated Parmesan on top. It's easy, quick and very lovely.

And you can be honorary Italian. you have the right name already.

Mmmmmm sounds delicious, thank you OP I will give it a go!

I do believe I was born to be raised on a diet of the best pasta, pizza and amazing wine so I’ll take my honorary membership and start making up for those missed years, thank you
