Care Package and Italian Meal

I have finally received my care package from home! Even though the box was basically destroyed from its long journey across the Atlantic Ocean, nothing was lost except for a few unfortunate noodles.

From the picture you can see that the box contained a lot of useful things like vitamin D pills, highlighters, and lots of pasta. I am a very practical person so this was the best care package I could ask for. I am so grateful and I love my family very much.

Tonight a bunch of us had planned on having dinner together. The night’s menu was bacon carbonara which three Italians, Alberto, Alberto’s friend, and Grazia, had agreed to make. While they were making the meal, the rest of us sat at the table watching them in the kitchen as they directed each other in Italian. Occasionally, voices would get louder and hands would move in the air when there was a disagreement in how to do something. I enjoyed watching them argue and cook.

The meal was splendid. It was also nice to sit around and chat with everyone after dinner. Hopefully, we can make Thursday group meals a tradition.
