DS is sick, what would a good Italian mum cook for him? First time he is properly sick, I need to cook him something, even if he might not eat it...

ciao eastend! poor ds, is he better?
californication, are you califrau????
Def no milk, but my mamma would give bits of parmigiano
Pastina in brodo:
boil water, any piece of chicken (maybe two drumsticks), 1 carrot, 1 celery and half onion if you want.
cook the pastina in the brodo and grate some parmigiano. if you think is wqell enough trita some boiled carrot and chicken. it's one of my dc fav comfort food.
another thing is
riso patate and prezzemolo
boil water with 1 potato, chopped, cook the rice, sprinkle some chopped parsley (dado optional)
camomile with lemon
mela grattugiata
ciao let us know ho he does

Grazie mille, il figliuolo si e' ripreso ed e' tornato a scuola. Ha avuto 41 di febbre! Grazie per la ricetta Franca, a te come ti va la vita, io ci ho tante traduzioni da fare, ma non ho voglia di lavorare, voglio leggere romanzi e bermi un bicchiere di vino.

Love your valentine's name califrau!
ciao eastend. sono alle prese con nuovi capitoli del solito libro che stavo traducendo, ma sono indietro. e' so boring. non so se sono tagliata per fare la traduttrice, mi sento sola. del resto e' un buon compromesso. tu lavori con societa' londinesi? come hai fatto a trovare i contatti???
sono contenta che il tuo ds stia meglio, povero piccolo! ci sono in giro un sacco di bugs. e qui piove da giorni

PippiLangstrump · 13/02/2007 21:44

califrau I didn't know everything has to be 'chiaro' when they are sick, although it makes sense.
hummm I wonder if my mum knows...

how can you all post so often??? your day must have so many more hours than mine.

Si, sono societa' londinesi, i contatti li ho trovati tramite amici, ma si parla di 20 anni fa ormai, cominciai con piccole traduzioni, una letterina qui e li, e ora ho lavoro un po' piu' regolare, ma diciamoci la verita' ho un income schifoso. Va bene per ora che c'e' ds che va a scuola solo la mattina. Lo voglio anch'io un nome per San Valentino, sono gelosa!!

Pippi, it's the reason why I'm so behind with my translation...
(now I've just woken up, but needed to send an email to someone to cancel a meeting, dd is unwell today)

Quanti bugs che ci sono in giro no? Poverini, poverini, questi bambini. I have been trapped at home all day with my translation, I managed to stay away from the net which means I have done quite a bit of work. Franca, come va il tuo figliuolo alla nuova scuola, e' contento, e hai fatto amicizia con le altre mamme?

franca70 · 14/02/2007 20:35

ciao eastend, si, basta bugs! dd has a mild temperature (hence I didn't worked to day), and has been producing snot for at least ten days now. ds found it very difficult to start with. It was a big change from his nursery, where he knew everyone (he started when he was 15 months) and felt a bit like the boss... Also all his friends form nursery went to another school. So he was pretty miserable the first few days (cried for mummy at lunch time ). But he's settling now, and they do lots of activities. Not sure about his enthusiasm for learning to read or write, but I'm not worried really. what about your ds?

he loves his little school, va solo la mattina pero', he wouldn't last the whole day at this stage. Ha pure invitato dei bimbi a casa, mamma mia che baraonda che mi hanno fatto, total mayhem, ma comodo perche' poi puo' andare a case di altre mamme e io ho tempo di lavorare. Ti sono simpatiche le altre mamme a te?

Mah, si alcune sembrano simpatiche... ancora non ho osato invitare nessun bambino... tu sei stata very brave!

Ho cominciato a invitare perche' me lo ha chiesto lui ed e' solo per un paio di ore fino alle 2 del pomeriggio. Una faticaccia pero'.

PippiLangstrump · 15/02/2007 20:11

buonasera a tutte.

italian mums please tell me: do you agree with many that kids are not very accepted in restaurants etc in this contry?

How's things where you live?

I am stealing this discussion from another thread but I am very curious, I seem to have lived the past 11 years in a different country to everyone else.

franca when are you coming to london for a visit?

franca70 · 15/02/2007 20:30

Which means LV? sorry my english is soooo poor.

PippiLangstrump · 15/02/2007 20:42

I didn't get that either

LieselVentouse · 15/02/2007 20:49

Have you seen "A fish called Wanda"?

franca70 · 15/02/2007 20:55

franca70 · 15/02/2007 21:02
