Buona Pasqua 2009 !!!

This is the week we all are waiting so long for as we do not need to work on the following Monday after a long lunch on Sunday.

For this year, we are invited to my in laws house for the lunch...it kinda potluck but seems that my MIL has cooked toooo much...and we are so much like balloons after the lunch...

I made some Wurstel (or hotdogs) mini rolls for the aperitivo..and below pics will make you kinda hungry...

This used to be Mr L's room and look what my MIL has convert into? A Guestrooom..

Here's the table for the 14 of us...

Part one of the apertivi

Here's the whole table including marinated Swordfish, my Wurstel rolls at the far right,

mini burgers, marinated tuna..yum yum...

Pasta shells with ricotta cheese, eggs and mozarella...wanna ask my MIL

how she made these..it was superb..so lucky to have a MIL like her...

Elena, Matteo, & Andrea (one family) with Elisa they are opening their 'eggs' with toys inside..

Elena is gorgeous huh?

Introducing this dish invented by my MIL - Chicken curry with Pine nuts and raisin..

Italian style...was speechless...

Oh yes..we also receive an Easter Egg..from Elena, Andrea & Matteo..it's still intact

lying in the living room...we have not break it yet..

Our princess Elisa...looks so gorgeous isn't she?

Our second princess - Nicole...ooouuuu so squeezable cheeks...

Mr L always go for her butts..to squeeze I mean..

It was indeed a good weather that day...and after we finish our lunch marathon, it was already 5pm (the sky still look like 3pm...in Spring its like this long day short night)...so Paola and my aunt was thinking of bringing the kids to the park 10 mins by walking....they enjoyed so much and so do us. As time passes by, the bond between these girls and me are getting stronger. Always hearing them say..zia zia, come here, come here... :)

Mr L brought me to the nearby beach to have a stroll, we decided to stay out longer as the sky is still so bright...such a waste to go home so early. Moreover, we are not having any dinner that night as the lunch seems already included dinner :p

After we reach home, took shower, we lay down on the sofa and watched Saving Private Ryan...which was a great film..that's our Easter day!

So relaxing !
