A few weeks ago we had our first date with a professor night where we are split up into groups with professors that we don't have for a class. My group went to an agriturismo which is a farm turned restaurant and 80% of the food comes from the farm. We started with bread, red and white wine, and water. They had oil and white vinegar for the bread. I had never had white balsamic but it was really good. We were served pumpkin gnocchi that was to die for and then really good mushroom risotto. After, they brought out a ton of vegetables and grilled meats including steak!, sausage, and grilled polenta. For dessert we had tiramisu with chocolate frosting and some apple pie type of thing. The owner also brought out grappa and lemon cello. The meal was so good and everything tasted so fresh. It was a huge, much needed change from the cafeteria. We have one more date with a professor nights after the second travel week. Our professor's wife is going to make us mexican food which is really exciting because that is one of the things I miss the most!

Second Formal Dinner
Liz, Mollie, Paige, Me, and Sarah |
Last week we also had the Italian vs. American soccer game where the Italian students played the CIMBA students. It is a pretty big deal every semester and the Americans ended up winning. This is the first time we have won for two consecutive semesters. It was a really fun game to watch despite my hatred for soccer. The best part was that there were real tacos for sale! It really helped solve my mexican craving.
Last week we also had our second formal dinner. It was at hotel nearby and it was fun but not as good as the first one. Still, it is always good to get out of the cafeteria.
