Tuesday stuff

   The newest edition of CarnivAOL has been published, and it is chock full of haiku-y goodness. Well, it's full of something, anyway. Check out this week's offerings.


   We had a particularly old-world Italian style dinner last night. The wife cooked up some fresh tomato sauce from tomatoes straight off the vine. Added that to some homemade pasta. Also, battered, fried, Sicilian pumpkin, and speducci (BBQed lamb skewers). Mmm.
   Aperitif was some home made fortified wine made by my wife's uncle Mario that we brought home from Italy with us last year. It's a year old now, so we decided to open a bottle and try it. Yum!


   First day of school, and Matt's off to Grade 7 this year. Although he won't admit it, he's looking forward to the year. His teacher this year is also the music teacher, and he's looking forward to joining the intermediate band. He started playing the saxophone at school last year, and has expressed interest in a local music enrichment program offered for grade six, seven, and eight students at the local high school.

Dinner sounded yummy... I love homemade wine... we have friends who share with us.  We always have homemade sauce too, being 1/4 italian, it is a must!!  My dad is 1/2 ... and that 1/2 the italian one, cooks!!!

Congrats to Matt and good luck in the new year!
