an italian dinner cooked by... moi!

My homemade italian dinner!

   For the past few days, I've been grabbing a slice of pizza or whatever looks good, going to a restaurant or eating with my roommates. I haven't had a chance to cook some dinner for myself yet, so this afternoon, I decided that I was going to do it tonight after my Italian language session! I stopped by a bakery and got some spinach gnocchi. Being clueless with cooking spinach gnocchi, I asked around what kind of sauce I should cook with the spinach gnocchi. Parmesan cheese and butter. That's it?!
     And, that what I did! I made some garlic bread and salad on the side. To the salad, I added mozzarella (honestly, I don't think i can eat America's string cheese ever again...), salami, tomato, and olive oil mixed with several spices and garlic as dressing. The spinach gnocchi was so delicious! I also added some milk and a bit of garlic to it. I wish that I've gotten more spinach gnocchi to cook plenty for my roommates. Tomorrow night, I'm going to try to make some regular pasta. It shouldn't be hard, right?

On a side note, things are definitely getting better here... Italian language session is challenging but fun! I thought that I would only learn to write and read Italian, but nope! I'm also learning LIS and how to speak Italian. Boy. I certainly didn't ask for a speech class, but my professor is making it fun to learn speaking Italian. I know that I cannot pronounce it perfectly, but I can barely... just to survive. ;)

    I'll be updating some vlogs soon... come back soon! Ciao ciao! Buona sera!
