Sweet Tea In Mason Jars…Must be Ohio

At lunch with family and the drinks come in branded Mason Jars. Pretty southern for being only 40 miles from Canada. 😀

More people at our table than usual

These days it is usually just Rosanne and me at the dining room table or occasionally 2 friends for dinner. Back in December, though, we hosted 6 members of our Sicilian family and the dining room was almost standing room only. 

This was their first day in town, so we greeted them with the quintessential LA meal of In-n-Out. 😀

Every other meal at home, though, looked more like our Italian meals when visiting them. They might have experienced the US and LA when we went out, but evenings cocooned them in a sense of normal home life.

Mary and Francesca Discuss Italian Family History

Over the Christmas and New Year’s Holiday our Italian family — who have hosted us in Sicily 5 times — visited. This was a great opportunity to catch up and show them all the sights in Los Angeles.
