Learning about one country’s lifestyle is even more immeasureable when I visit a native’s home because I have the opportunity to learn about how the natives live their life. Tonight I had the opportunity to visit Luca’s parents for dinner. His mother is a real Italian chef who made true Italian dishes. One thing I learned tonight that I did not know in the past is that Italians normally eat pasta twice a day, lunch and dinner. Unbelievable! That would certainly make my sister, Jessica, very happy. I had two different types of pasta tonight. I had Bolongais Pasta and another type of pasta that had olive oil with fish. They were both very good. Bolongais Pasta has tomato sause with ground beef. I also had chicken and Italy’s well-known dish, Caprese. Caprese is a type of salade that is consisted of tomatos and mozzerella with olive oil. It’s absolutely delicious, especially the tomatos which taste nothing compared to US.
