What happened to the sausage?


I'm trying my best to keep the Jack Handys coming, but I'm a little pressed for time. Wine tastings, film festivals . . . it's a busy life :) Plus I'm working on a bunch of research projects right now: one on chestnuts, one on sustainable agriculture, and one on - ! - cannibalism. They're all really interesting, and I love working on them. I can't believe I have to chance to study this stuff. (I was just about to comment about about how this probably means I'm meant for an academic career. But I don't think they allow the terms "Jack Handy," "stuff," or ":)" in the International Journal of Anthropology. So . . . I'll pocket that comment for now, I think.)

Anyway, the power of food: Here we are: Fabrizio and Paola, language exchange partners and Bolognese Bolognese; Marta and Giulia, two students who live downstairs, from Umbria, near St. Franny's haunts (whoops! academic journal foul!); Christian, lawyer, tour guide, socialite, also Bolognese; and me (create-your-own-identification). We had a fun dinner together, and talked about religion, politics, and sex.

We also ate that sausage.

I know you were wondering what happened to it.

The Parmesan cheese is still in the frig.
