Pizzaaa... FINALMENTEEE!!! :)

Mariella voleva imparare a fare la pizza, ma quella buona - buona come hanno fatto la Cri & Faustino a casa nostra / qui in aprile.

Mariella wanted to learn how to make pizza, but the very good one like Cristina & Fausto made here at our place in April.

Et voila' some pics & movie to come too... as proof of Mariella's cooking skills: now she'll have to make home-made pizza every day for a whole year... as Maverick told his mom! :)

Guys waiting for pizza / I ragazzi in attesa della pizza

Le pizze... mi spiace... non sono riuscita a fotografarle ancora intere. :)

And here are the pizzas... sorry... didn't make it on time to have a pic of a whole one. :)

Pepperoni pizza with home-grown herbs
Pizza al salamino con spezie del nostro orticello

Pizza con prosciutto crudo (quello vero!) e rucola di casa

Come vedete... solo Steele rideva! Gli altri erano troppo impegnati nel gustare.
As you can see... only Steele smiled, since the others were too busy enjoying the pizzas.
