we did the festa di quatro pesce.
lol, we only had 4 fishes, not 7. hey, i'm not even italian, so don't gimme any lip, capeesh?
i started with pickled herring in white wine and onions, then i made scallop and shrimp marinara, and dw made fried flounder.
salad, pasta, and steamed broccoli rounded it out.
i fed the boy first while dw finished cooking, then we all ate together. since the little guy was finished first, he grabbed a cupcake and italian finger cookies and sat ready to chow down. i pretended to cry because he was gonna start dessert without me, so he sat patiently staring at his plate of sweets, drooling with anticipation. the second i was done and said ok, he excitedly stuffed a whole mini-cupcake into his mouth, the wait nearly getting the best of him. like a junkie getting his fix he slumped in his chair, eyes glazed over with a sugar rush, sporting a nice, white frosting moustache.
best cupcake ever.
