Everyone's welcome

ello ello all - Ironing YUCK hate the process with a passion and like winter as you can get away more with less ironing.
I knew I was expecting a girl at about 14 weeks with the villio. I wanted to know as well so I could be mentally prepared and of course buy blue or pink ! Sorry am not a yellow person. DH in MOnaco at Oktoberfest so I will have 3 days of just dd and me...Good or bad ????

very . DD looks all prim and proper after her haircut... not like my wild child!! I should have done it myself. the cut is all wrong for her tipe of hair. How can you do a fringe to someone that has got wavy hair??? I'll get over this in a minute as it is very silly of me but atm I am enraged!

Oh Pippi . I'm sure she looks lovely no matter what the haircut is...
Rosa: you are going to be fine! And if you feel alone you can come and moan here.
I should be cooking for friends who are coming for dinner (I'm making the agnello pippi!) but I'm svogliata.

she does actually. i just looked at her and she's gorgeous. and frankly even better, she looked like 'mago G galbusera' before! and she enjoyed it a lot, they put all this sparklers in her hair, I think she's vain.

are you really making the agnello??? oh my god, I hope you all will like it!! [terrified emoticon - pippi will ruin franca's dinner!! ](feel free to change as I am sure you are a better cook than me)!!

G come galbusera, g come galbusera, chiudi gli occhi e apri la bocca...
The agnello sounds good, though I've only found olive nere denocciolate, the gourmand in me shivers at the thought of olive already denocciolate...
I should go and cook now, the dc are playing nicely (after the first 30 mins of ds coming back from school and behaving like a scemo. He's now calmed down, and is lovely). but I'm laaaazy. Also coming down with the first cold of the season.

I haven't laughed so much in ages, the caca threads were great LOL
I haven't ironed (apart from the odd item once every 6 months or so) since we had the restaurant, who had the time, I do the flick of the wrist thing as well and hang it out the moment the washing machine has finished.
franca There is hope for Mia then, she's a lovely dear little girl really, she just has her moments, it's quite funny when we are out as she is the size of a 1 year old, but she acts like a 2+ year old, we do get funny looks LOL
Oh, by the way, this is one of DP's websites, if you would like to take a look www.growing-asparagus.com/growing-asparagus

yes quelle non snocciolate sono meglio. soprattutto quelle un po 'grinzose' but I put what I've got and I've done it many times with the snocciolate so i wouldn't worry.

wow jane, I love asparagus. as soon as DH allocates my bit of garden where I can have a veg patch I'll follow your DH's advice. (a part from size asparagus are soooo expensive in here). my MIL never tasted one.

, It's great! Buonissimo. Ho anche fatto la parmigiana, as I bought the most beautiful aubergines at the farmer's market yesterday.
Beautiful asparagi as well! (I love them with fried egg on top and lots of pepper). Ah, food!

OK Pippi , Jane, Med , Ellbell are we all going to Francas for dinner then ???

yes, come on! but bring the dolce!. I've got to go, our friends've just arrived. Buona serata!

i am going to try the agnello too, will buy good olives from our farmers market tomorrow.

[relieved emoticon]! that asparagi con l'uovo non la sapevo, provero'!!
franca you sound the best cook out of all of us... you must invite us for dinner before you go!!!
thinking about it you've done a 4 courses meal. pippi is in awe...

If you like it too hotmed I'll have to tell mamma... she'll be well chuffed!!

4 courses!!! wow, i am coming for dinner for sure. pippi how long does it take for the agnello and olive to do? about 1 hour? sorry if i am a bit anal.

wish i had people round for dinner...watching a really dull property programme and mumsnetting....

I wish that too hotmed, sounds quite glamorous and fun, doesn't it? mind you considering the state of my house today I am glad there's no one to see it.

Yes I'd think an hour, from when you start. my mum did not give me a specific time, more like when all the wine/beer has 'asciugato' and the lamp is very tender. I'm sure franca has already perfezionato la ricetta so I'd trust her more.

when is your DP back?

dp is back in 3 weeks, briefly and then off again. i mostly like it when he is away. cause when he is at home, he is at home a lot.

he's a spy, franca's right.

I'd love to have some space on my own at times I must admit. i miss those evening by myself watchin telly/reading and eating pita and houmus.

lol at spy!
there is something very comforting about being alone!

agree totally. sometimes I feel like I am the only one who thinks being single is great.I've never been one of these people that prefer to be with anyone rather than on their own. For me it was either someone perfect for me like DH or nothing. I could not give up that freedom and independence for a 'housemate'.

(completely drunk).
the lamb was very good. It was a bit duro though, my fault, I shouldn't have done it in advance. But the sughetto was delicious. No, non sono una brava cuoca, just golosa. hic.

ma era duro perche era troppo cotto o poco cotto? boh, neanche io sono una buona cuoca, ma ci provo..buona notte.

hangover anyone??

shame it was duro, don't ask me why. I normally make it and eat it. the sughino is yummi with bread, although if you let it dry and see it the next morning you see how fatty it is and makes you quite sick!

did you have a good time then? when you go to italy do you feel you drink a bit more than anyone else?

pippi you beat me to it ..Asprin Franca ??
I have been a brava casalinga sta mattina. Gia un bucato fuori , un altro dentro. Ragu ( versione inglese) fatto.. Adesso andiamo fuori nice day here sun ,so the city will be pieno. Have a buona giornata tutti magari will pop in later.
