The Italian mother

Much has been said about the Italian mom-this week I got to experience it for better or worse ;-)
Last night at dinner, I couldn't think about taking another bite of my food. My host mom wouldn't take no for an answer. The result- let's just say it wasn't pretty. I don't know that I'll ever be able to have panna cotta again! 

This morning I woke up to her demanding my laundry! Why don't you give me your laundry, Lisa? " oh Maria, I couldn't!". Long story short, for the first time in almost 40 years someone besides me is doing my laundry! I'm not sure how I feel about that. When I told her that most kids in the U.S. start doing laundry as soon as they're able to reach the knob to turn on the washer. She asked " the boys too?!". Yes, the boys too. We are all equal :-)
