Day 7: Cooking at Allan's

Today was the second day of cooking and it was my turn to go with 10 others to Allan's to cook.

We had to leave at 8:15am to head to Allan's to meet up with him to go shopping. We went to the market to get fresh vegetables, meats, and pasta. When we got back to the restaurant, Hanna and I cut pasta for our snack. Allan showed us how to roll, cut, and lift up the dough. After, we got started on the lemon dessert by peeling the skin off the lemons. After we were done, we put the lemon and sugar in a food processor, after blending it with eggs, butter and lemon juice. The mixture was then heated and let to cool. When cooled it was scooped into bowls, cream and a cherry was put on top.

For our snack we had the noodles with prosciutto and egg mixed in. I did not enjoy it all that much but I still tried it.

Before everyone arrived, I help set the table. When everyone arrived, I took our meal outside which was pasta with vegetables and potato, eggplant with cheese, and lamb, garnished with potato and eggplant skins. As well as the lemon dessert Hanna and I made. The meal was really good, I loved the pasta, but the eggplant was not the best. The dessert was really sweet, but I couldn't enjoy it too much because shortly before my lip piercing fell out, and I was worried the hole would close.

After we had to clean up, wash and put away dishes, then Paul took the 11 of us out for geloto. We had the rest of the day off. Liana and I, went shopping around Frascati. We looked in a few clothing stores and got biscotti from a bakery. Later, we went for dinner at Cantina Simonetti. I got pasta in a tomato sauce and Liana got pasta in a creamy white sauce with pepper. We both enjoyed our pasta a lot, and the servers were really friendly. Our server in specific, did not speak much english but he really tried his best to communicate with us. It was a great meal over all.

After dinner, I was full and really tired so we headed back to the hotel. I took some time to upload photos and chat with people from back home then went to bed.
