Day 12 - July 11

 It is Monday and I am back into the swing of things for school and "normal" life. I go to bed pretty early Sunday night because I am just out of it from Rome. In our food class today we made Lasagne, breaded beef that was fried with proscuitto and mozerella on top, and an interesting appetizer that consisted of fresh made bread sticks with proscuitto wrapped around it eaten with a bite of melon and mozerella all together. It was all pretty good. Unfortunately I wasn't in charge of the lasagne, but it was amazing. It was not as saucey and tomatoey as I usually think of lasagne because it is made a little different in Florence. It was chunckier red sauce with a mixture of diced carrots, celery, and onions, then the meat and tomatoes came in with some red wine. It was amazingly good, but it does take an hour and a half to make...so that may not be made when I get home unless I get a lot of help! I personally made the breaded beef then fried them and topped with proscuitto ham and shaved cheese. It was pretty good, just not necessarily my favorite thing we have eaten in class. Then I came home and had to go buy my textbook for my food class, which is really ust a recipe book that we use and cook from in our class. It is really nice because I will have already made a lot of the recipies and I have my own little notes for future times I make each one.
 Liz and I headed out to buy my book and collect some business cards from our favorite places in town. Her parents are coming in town this coming weekend so she wanted to make sure they hit all the good places. So of course while we were out we had to get some gelato...again. It is really becoming a problem. So later I go to class where we had to work on editing our pictures from over the weekend for our homework that is due today. I had an entire Florence selection done because it has to be all from the same place, but my teacher highly disagreed. He loved my Rome pictures and basically did my entire project for me by picking out what I should use, how they were connected, and even how to edit them a little bit in photoshop. It was soooo helpful and I was really happy that he has realized that I
need help because I am so lost in that class. I do feel like I am catching on a little better though.
 Class is over and I come home to an apartment that all want to go out to eat. Well funny thing is that Carrie and I don't because we are saving money by not eating out multiple times a day. So we stay back from the group and literally make anything and everything we find in the refrigerater. It was a little bit funny. We had eggs with onion and chicken in it, like an omelete, then some potatoes grilled and diced like hashbrowns. I also bought a cantelope to go with our breakfast for dinner. It was really great because it wasn't as heavy or full of carbs of a meal that we have been having almost every other day.
Then it was skype time with JJ and that was pretty much the end of the night. Although we did watch the first part to Harry Potter 7 in honor of ME GETTING MY TICKET FOR THE LAST MOVIE!!!!!!!! The final series comes out in Europe 2 days before it comes out in the United States...which means on July 13 I will already have seen the movie and all you silly Americans won't have seen it yet!!!! I am so excited for it...if only I would have remembered to bring my wand with me to Florence...that would have been perfect.
