The Summer of Pasta

It seems like they know how to live.

The Summer of Pasta ain’t so bad if you like to eat!… But bad if you’re on a diet.

I’ve been watching this you tube channel called Pasta Grannies this summer. It’s actually amazing how much tradition goes into the cooking and the making of the pasta, it makes me want to learn. And learn I must! But it also makes me want to keep the recipes of my grandmother going and pass them onto my children some day and become a pasta granny myself! Traditions are so important because it really keeps the memory and keeps the bond of family alive. I do miss so many summers with my grandmother in the kitchen or in the garden helping her can pickles or learn how to bake bread. I hope that I can pass that love onto my family as well.

But the show is also neat because you can glimpse a different city in Italy and see their cultures and their family traditions that you might like to add to your family! I know I’m going to try! And also try and learn Italian and also maybe move there someday…(sigh)

Okay enough about pasta and love. I will become a pasta granny someday and I can’t wait. 😀

You are probably used to seeing a gnome in a garden or guarding the front porch steps, or just lying somewhere collecting dust in a garage. But… not this gnome. No…this gnome sits on top of the toilet…happily daydreaming in the corner. I never even noticed the damn gnome until the other day when I heard this:

“Courtesy flush please”

 He’s not a tree spirit. He’s not a cutesy piece of kitsch in your garden. Nope. He’s the spirit of the toilet seat. I don’t think this will be the last we’ll hear from the gnome.
