This was lunch. I made my Zucchini and Panchetta Pasta. I posted the recipe in February sometime if you are now interested! :) I am glad I now have a face to put with the name!
My Zucchini, Mushroom, and Prosciutto Fritatta. Beautiful.
Yesterday I invented I wonderful fritatta. It was actually my first time to ever make a fritatta and it turned out beautiful. I was so happy, I ran to get my iphone to snap a little photo. Emma had originally said, when I told her we were having a fritatta for dinner, she would not eat any of it because she did not like fritatta. She kept complaining about having to eat it and asking if she could just make a sandwich when I calmly told her that if she did not like it there would be plenty of broccoli and bread with oil for her to eat, but that since I was making dinner, it was rude of her to say she would not even try it. She then agreed to try some. In the end, I think both of the girls liked it well enough. No one went back for seconds, and I did see Emma picking around a few veggies, but for the most part, they ate it, and I was happy. I will be posting the recipe for it in my next post. For now I will just give you the photo I snapped.
As it turns out, Pam did forget to leave me with some money, but had the drive come back and leave me some cash underneath the umbrella holder outside her apartment. I got an email from Sam this morning explaining where I could find the money (technically, it was under the fire hydrant next to the umbrella holder) and said the emergency list of contacts was on Pam's desk. Of course, I did not see that 1) because of the clutter, and 2)I would never just peruse through her desk. Anyway, things are well here. I still do not have any bus tickets, but I figure I will try to beg a ride off of someone tomorrow, and go to Castelnuovo to buy some for myself.
Mornings go fairly smoothly here. I wake up around 640am and sprint over to my apartment to turn on the heat, then I come back and wake up the girls, make their breakfast (Emma normally has a piece of fruit, and Siena has a little chocolate biscuit), I have them brush their teeth, and hair, and well, we are out of the door in plenty of time. Honestly, I like waking up earlier. I have more time in the day, and I take a refreshing shower every morning after the girls are on the school bus (750am). Also, since their are no window coverings, I wake up just around the time the sun is coming up so it is not too hard for me to get up. It is always so much more refreshing to wake up to the light of the early morning sun than the ring of your alarm clock.
Sam comes back, I might start waking up this early all the time and going for a bike ride in the mornings. That is, if I can ever find some jogging pants; yet another incentive for me to figure out the bus schedule.

I don't think getting out of bed ever gets any easier until you start going to bed on time. But, like me, you are learning to really really appreciate the mornings as such a wonderful way to start off a day. Remember when I used to actually look forward to going to work out?? Going out each morning for a brisk walk, a bike ride, or even just a cup of coffee and to listen to the birds is such a delightful start to a day. Beats the heck out of lying in bed awake and dreading away the first hour of the day until you are late to get where you are going...that's for sure. Beautiful frittata! You would not have eaten a bite of that at Emma's age, even though it has eggs. You would have said that the other stuff in there changed the taste. I give her a gold star for even making an effort to be polite! Love you.
