Homestyle Cooking












I am finally taking the time to sit and gather my thoughts. These last two weeks have been quite busy. Last Wednesday my roommates and I enjoyed some awesome home style American cooking and its never tasted better! A while ago we bumped into our next door neighbors Kim and Donna who are here for a few weeks to study Italian language. Excited to meet some people who speak English, we planned a dinner date. Kim is a Chicago native who just moved here a few months ago after marrying her adorable husband Giorgio. Donna is here from Australia for a while enjoying the Italian lifestyle. We feasted that night on fried chicken, a real salad, broccoli and wine compliments of Chef Kim. Era buonissimo! We talked the night away, Kim sharing some amazing stories of her life as a Chicago Police Department Sheriff and all her world travels, and Donna sharing stories of life Down Under and her kids back at home. We ended the night with chocolate cake and singing Elvis tunes quite loudly. It's always great to meet new friends!
