After a harrowing ordeal involving mass quantities of snow and a spark igniting felled tree, my mom and my God mom prevailed over all challenges to arrive in San Diego yesterday morning!

| Look who's tall! That's a first |
It is such a delightful treat to have these two lovelies in town. We found a super deal on a new hotel in a fun neighborhood, and it seemed only natural to host our favorite Little Italian person in the heart of Little Italy! Here are just a few photos from our first night together, featuring more food than faces just like in Big Italy.

| Mom can't resist a side of mashies. Imagine! (They were yum) James' bolognese in the background |
 |
| Joan's gnocchi, Clara's pesto, Meg's spinach filled gnocchi (an abomination, according to Mrs C) |
 |
| oh look, faces AND the food that will go into them |
 |
| Yay! I'm sorry to say that this is the best of the group shots. We'll do better tonight |
Next stop: Mexico
I love that favorite Little Italian person! And her gal pal El. What a treat for you all! I have been avidly and eagerly following your tales of adventure from Sandy Eggo -- What a Time you're having!
ReplyDeleteThose are some cute faces. And some cute food. And I would love some of that spinach filled gnocchi, precisely to see the reaction of our favorite Little Italian person -- ab abomination!
Can't wait for the next installment.
Love youse!!
