Martidi, Settembre 10
Part of my homework was "Scrivi la giornata"
Mi sgevlia alle sei di mattina ma mi alza alle sei e mezzo.
Dopo faccio la doccia. Poi mi lavoro i denti con lo spazzolino e dentrificio.
Mi vesto alle sette e un quarto. Dopo faccio colazione:
espresso, frutto, e cereale o forse qualcosa dolce.
Alle otto vado fuori e cammino da Piazza Archimede. Prendo
un'altra espresso e bevo a Fonte Diana. Dopo vado mi lezione dalle nove alle
dodici. La lezioni di giorno fine alle dodici o dodici e un mezzo.
Dopo la lezione, compro atricoli a il negozio. Io compro lo
standine e deterviso a mano. Passara a supermercato e compro cibo per pranzo.
Alle tredici o quatordici ho mangio pranzo: proscuitto, formaggio, pane, e
frutto.
La oro mi vestiti a mano. (Yes, I am actually washing my
clothes by hand during the hottest part of the day as a way to cool off and
save money.)
Alle diciassette faccio una passaggiata. Prendo un spuntino
a Cafe Minerva e collegormi (mi collegare?) di internet.
Quando ritorno a casa, ricevo invito a cena di Singnori
Aliffi.
OK, that was part of my homework - mistakes and all. The
rest in English.
My hosts, Mr. & Mrs. Aliffi, invited me to dinner:
"a simple spaghetti dinner".
Of course, I dressed for it and brought a very nice bottle of local wine
as a gift for my hosts. Apparently, bringing a small gift for the host is
traditional (arrivare mai a mani vuote) and/but hey didn't expect me to know
about it. You'd think that I brought them something precious. ;-) I was told "we eat as amiche, non c'é
formale". To be invited to your hosts’ home for a home cooked meal as a
friend is a great honor and I was almost struck dumb. I did say almost, right?
The "simple spaghetti dinner" was amazing.
Antipasti, pane, frittata (pomodori & cipolle), funghi (quatro tipi!), e
cinque tipi olive. After that, there was the spaghetti with homemade salsa
(sauce). For dessert, there was an assortment of frutta. They showed me how to
eat fruit like a native Sicilian (how you eat it depends on the type of fruie).
Simple, huh.
Dopo a cena noi guardanno il calcio a televisione. I didn't
get to bed until mezzanotte.
Oh, did I mention that the one other person in the class
dropped out? 4 individual hours of active lessons per day is making my brain
full.
Big day tomorrow, cooking class!
