Today’s cooking
class was my favorite because of Giordino and his singing abilities! He was
blasting Riana songs and singing his heart out. He kept making fun on his own
tummy when it giggled as he belted out the words. I used a long large wooden
spoon as my microphone and we have a lovely duet in the kitchen. That will be a
memory I will never forget. We were one good singing team, I could hit the high
notes and Giordino could hit the low ones. Because it was our last class, he
bought the 6 of us 5 bottles of wine, so by the end of the class we were having
a grand old time. He is such an amazing cook with the most beautiful bakery! He
also cooks for people who have allergies, which I love! I tried his wheat free
pizza and it was honestly out of this world.
Today we learned
how to make “Risotto ai frutti di mare”, which translates to Risotto made with
fish from the sea. I learned it is important to cook all the different types of
fish in separate dishes because they all cook at different times. We had
muscles, clams, squid, octopus, shrimp, and prawns. I was so proud of myself, I
tired all the different types of seafood and I loved all of it! All the seafood
we used came from Sicily; it was all extremely fresh and didn’t taste to “fishy”.
My least favorite part was taking the head and eyeballs out of the squid, that
almost made me loose my appetite. Girodino thought it would be funny to hang
them in front of my face; he got a nice shove from that one! I was the one who prepared
the tuna steaks, which took no time at all! You only cook the tuna for about 3
minutes on each side, the inside of the tuna should still be very pink! This
was my favorite part of the dinner! The fish was so light, flavorful, and not
too salty. I learned how to make a lemon and olive oil sauce, which added a
great deal of flavor to the Tuna!
Mom: You should
be so proud of me for trying all this seafood! My next adventure will be to try
a spicy-tuna roll you rave so much about!
