Relaxing Sunday

I woke up early to see that Riccardo was still feeling bad and so he gave in. It was time to try some of my home remedies and American pain killers for the sore throat that has been bothering him for about a week.
He fell asleep after the painkiller and woke up feeling better but as soon as he had something to eat, he felt worse than before.
He feel asleep again but is feeling much better at the moment...(I think the home remedy worked to make the swelling go down, and the pain killer for the little fever that he had).

In Italy, all business and stores are closed on Sundays but once a month they are open the mornings or all day. Today was the day for the month of October for the near by supermarket. Since I woke up early, I was able to go and get something for tonight's dinner, which turned out to be pretty good. The ravioli we had today were stuffed with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, and some ham.
It was the first time to try this kind of ravioli and I was very happy with the taste. Riccardo prefered the ones that we usually buy (stuffed with meat) which have a special name. It is casoncelli because it's part of the local cuisine.

During the day, we were supposed to go by bike but with Riccardo feeling pretty bad, we decided not to go. I ended up going for a late afternoon run after Tommaso's first birthday party.
Tommaso or aka Tommy is Riccardo's nephew who just turned one!
He is adorable. He is starting to walk and stand all by himself.
We had a great 2 hours of celebrating and eating some mousse cake. It had a strage texture but somehow it all worked together. There were 3 layers, the bottom one was icy, the one in the middle I imagine was of some fruit, and the top one was like flan but was melting which seemed like ice-cream.

Overall, I had a great day.
Looking forward to tomorrow. Even if it means it's Monday and the weekend will come again in five more days. I am excited though, we are planning to go to the mountain house!!! I can't wait, I love that place. It's soooo nice. It's pretty cold there which means I will get to use my winter jacket for sure. I saw that tonight's low there was only 5 degrees Celsius!!! I'm kind of excited.
Until next time,
Daniela
