ITALIAN mums out there - franca etc

[eastend]

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...

cause I like jan pi (sp??) too, and sabuda sounds fantastic (non lo conoscevo prima!).
Thanks ellbell tvb as well {smile]. Actually tvb all, this thread makes me allegra!

Se non sbaglio Claudio Magris (also sitting on my shelf) ha parlato molto bene di Vegliani. Io oggi ho voglia di Bassani, ma non penso di avere niente di lui.
11/12 giorni di ritardo, il gp ha detto di "hang on" till Monday, whatever that means. Then she will do a blood test. Lots of mild cramps and back acke during the night, but no bleeding. The whole thing has gone beyond the ridicule. Last time I have sex I tell you.

oh med! (today I feel affettuosa, so I'm sending you a hug). I love il giardino dei finzi contini (and love the de sica movie too, with helmut berger!!!)

Mmm, helmut berger, that really cheers me no end. I was gobsmacked as a ragazzina to discover he was gay!
Hug recieved! will see if the de sica dvd is available in the UK.

I checked iwth Amazon Rental, but they don't have it. Pity.
What are you all reading? Stuck!

yes, he was visconti's lover, apparently. I used to find him extremely conturbante...
I'm reading the granta collection "loved ones". Next I have a graham greene.

Lot at "conturbante" - don't think I have ever used that word.
Don't know what to read, can only look at photography books.

buonasera a tutte.

can I suggest margaret atwood's cats eye? or Moon Palace by Paul Auster?

or a new book I am reading now 'can any mother help me?' (see thread). it's brilliant!

ciao pippi!
(ashamed emoticon) I've never read paul auster, but I promise I will.
Photographic books are good. Hai letto caro michele della ginzburg med?

Vado pazza per Caro Michele. I find Paul Auster incredibly attractive, but find his novels a bit too contrite.
I read a lot of Atwood when I was 18 and a feminist.
I am going to try and find something to read iwth the help of my pregnant or non/pregnant brain.

[ashemed emot back] never read Caro Michele. Will add to my little black book of 'must reads'

franca where are you going on hol this summer?

ciao califrau. it's good isn't it? I could see my child self in it... sometimes as the victim and sometimes as the bully tbh . it's true what she says, girls at that age can be horible.

I remember in primary school I got invited at the girlie girlie house in the aft and made to be the maid (it is still painful) and serve them their tea. and that's because I was a tomboy.

did you read the blind assasin?

hi pippi, this summer we ar going to tuscany because, we are going with a couple of friends who've just had another baby, and salina is a bit too extreme for a 6 months old in august! I'm missing it already!
