With our time in Perugia winding down, some of the girls decided to get brave and cook dinner for the group. This involved Caitlin and Kaylah accompanying me down to the big Coop supermercato via the MiniMetro to buy supplies, as Talia was recovering from some unorthodox food combinations. With the supplies successfully bought, we came back up the hill and the girls were let loose, under the guidance of Caitlin. Apparently my presence in the kitchen made them all rather nervous (not so Nancy who was 'resting' on the sofa as she supervised), but someone needed to get the cantankerous gas burners alight as required. In any event, they soon had everything under control as the delicious cannelloni di ricotta e spinaci were created. For dessert we were surprised by a Sacher Torte from Sandri, Perugia's oldest and most ornate pasticceria, surrounded by macarons of different flavours. The girls presented both of us with cards, which was a beautiful thought. It makes all of the hard work to get here worth it. We also finally made it up to the roof terrace to take in the early evening light - so gorgeous with the sweeping swallows and the old buildings.
Grazie mille!
