Crostata paleozoica
March 29, 2016 // Posted in celebrations, food | No Comments
Lorenzo is almost turning 4, and in this phase he is a dinosaurs fanatic. Silvia is trying to identify which is the best birthday cake, and the “crostata paleozoica” she prepared today is probably the good solution. And it is also pretty good.
Pasqua con i tuoi

qui) eravamo andati a Sestri Levante. Quest’anno abbiamo preferito restare tranquilli a casa a sbrigare un po’ di faccende e a divertirci coi bimbi. Il giorno di Pasqua e’ iniziato con la rituale apertura delle uova, con Lorenzo particolarmente attivo e su di giri. E poi ci siamo concessi un pranzo un po’ piu’ “decoroso” del solito, pranzando tutti assieme e gustando dell’ottimo risotto (con peperoni e prosciutto) e un arrosto con patate. Puo’ sembrare una Pasqua banale, ma a noi e’ piaciuta davvero tanto. Buona Pasqua a tutti!!!
Last year we went at the sea (see here), while this year we preferred to stay at home during Easter vacation. This morning we started with a lot of chocolate eggs to be “broken”, and we had a nice day staying all together. The lunch was something special (compared to our recent standard) with a great risotto con peperoni e prosciutto, and a good roast with potatoes. Maybe it doesn’t sound amazing, but we enjoyed a lot this day all together.

Pausa pranzo a Certosa

uno straordinario monumento, e a goderci qualche attimo di relax e tranquillita’ insieme, mangiando anche un ottimo panino con la coppa. Da ripetere!!!
Last Tuesday together with Silvia, we rode to Certosa during our lunch break. Weather was great, and we decided to go to see the beautiful Monastery, staying in a quiet atmosphere for a while. The experience was very good, also because we found a good place where to have a great “panino alla coppa”.
La primavera ormai e’ arrivata, e in questi giorni di cielo azzurro, abbiamo deciso (Enrico e Silvia) di spendere la nostra pausa pranzo con una bella pedalata fino a Certosa, lungo l’alzaia. Niente di eclatante, certo, ma comunque molto piacevole, ad ammirare Last Tuesday together with Silvia, we rode to Certosa during our lunch break.

50 anni

Today we went for a lunch at “Oratorio del Carmine” to celebrate the 50th birthday of uncle Marco. Fifty years starts to be an impressive age, but hopefully the adult male component of Sacchibelli family is five years younger. And, however, Marco looks younger than fifty. The lunch was great, and the cake very impressive. Thanks!!!
Il ballo dei panettoni
March 15, 2016 // Posted in bike, Pavia | No Comments
Pavia is for sure not a safe place for bicycles. Cars are everywhere, and there is an excessive tolerance versus cars violations. However let’s be optimistic and let’s at least appreciate how fast reacted the “mobility council member” when I sent him the picture you see on top, where a “panettone” was placed inside a bike path to allow cars to go inside a forbidden zone. In few hours everything was corrected, hopefully in a final way.

Lorenzo (grande), Bea e papa’ Enrico alle prese con la cena spagnola[/caption]This evening we had dinner at Giuseppe’s and Carmen’s place, together with their lovely sons, Lorenzo (the big) and Giulia. The dinner was spanish inspired, and it was amazing. Sangria, paella, tortilla… everything was perfect. Thanks Carmen and Giuseppe, when we are with you we feel like a home…. we consider you as a part of our family. Thanks for your kindness.
Social compleanni
March 6, 2016 // Posted in celebrations | No Comments
Little Lorenzo is growing, and his life starts to be very social. Today he was invited to a party to celebrate Giorgio’s birthday, a swimming-mate. It was a great afternoon, with a lot of babies, and a lot of fun, also for the parents. In fact here we found some friends because also their babies were invited to the same party. And it was nice to talk each other. Happy birthday Giorgio!!!!
