Luca eats his first truffle

As a belated anniversary celebration Gioel bought white truffles for us. We also thought it would be a good opportunity to test Luca's adventurous palette. He is quite daring and willing to try new things - earlier this week we took him out to lunch and ordered him a kiddie burger and fries. He didnt want to eat his food - instead he wanted to try my mussels in saffron broth. We ended up trading dishes. I ate his meal and he ate mine in its entirety.

Tonight we had handmade tagliatelle with butter, parmeggiano and the shaved truffles. Here is a video of Luca tasting his first truffle...

Halloween 2008

Luca was a race car driver for Halloween. An obvious choice for his costume since he is pretty much obsessed with cars, motors, wheels, racing and speed...



He went to a Halloween party in the park for lunch. The weather was beautiful. We trick or treated in our building later in the day. One of the pictures here shows him trick or treating with Grandma and meeting some other characters. He was a little stunned by their strange costumes!
