Buon compleanno a me – photo ©Christopher J Cart 2014

I’m off to Italy tomorrow. . . for a one week birthday party. . . just to ensure that I make everyone jealous of my life. . . I will be dining here al fresca on my birthday Sunday 17.08.14. . . prosecco, prosciutto, pancetta sul pane tostato per antipasto. . . seguito da cannelloni come secondo piatto. . . con sorbetto al limone e vodka come un detergente palato. . . seguita dal vino bianco del Veneto e scaloppa di vitello in salsa di crema come terzo corso. . . e rifinito con grappa e tiramisù come torta di compleanno. . . . e forse uno o due spiriti digestivi per assicurare il mio relax. . . . buon compleanno a me! Godersi la vita nella sua pienezza! Ma non mi odiano perché sono belle. . . mi ama perché mi piace la vita! Ciao bella!
