Since you asked,


this is what we had for dinner last night:

Antipasti
Assorted cheeses and crackers
Sopressata - handmade by Cousin Guiseppe
Roasted tomatoes with garlic and mozzarella cheese
Olive oil and garlic-rubbed toasts
Salad
Pittule - basically fried dough, some sprinkled with powdered sugar and some filled with anchovies. This is a traditional thing my Italian family makes together at Christmas on a day called Pittule Day. We just decided to have our own mini version of it. I'll post more photos later --

Oh man, so jealous. Your Italians eat much better than my Italians. Mommy tends to lean toward canned mushrooms and frozen brocolli. Sigh...
