Ypsi is the next town over from us (pronounced Ip-see not Yip-see). Although I never lived there, I did have a Ypsilanti address when I lived out in the township. It was always fun spelling it out on the phone. Naomi lives there now near EMU's campus although she is going to a community college nearby.
Today I went to the BC support group at the Wellness community. We had a new woman there currently going through chemo. Glad to be down with that.
So for my Italian dinner I am making for the moms: penne pasta (not pene pasta which would be penis pasta)with lemon marscapone walnut sauce; melanzane ripiene (stuffed eggplant- means crazy apple as they thought eggplants were toxic and would cause craziness) and trofie (type of pasta with a sticky surface good for pesto to stick to) with basil pesto that I lugged back from Italy. Along with wine, I have limoncino (similar to limoncello but made with 'northern' lemons) Someone is bringing a zucchini salad: another a Caprese salad. Another is bringing an appetizer that will be a surprise. (Una sopresa: I bought back some Kindereggs that have una sopresa inside)For dessert: cannoli (singular: cannolo).

Mmmm what a saucy picture!!!!
Your Italian meal sounds lush. I just bought a weight watchers Italian cook book and made a dish from it yesterday. It was really lovely, but I have scribbled some notes on it for minor alterations! Today I am having another Italian dish, a warm chick pea and parma ham salad. (I do so love parma ham)
yum...may i invite myself to dinner??
