Giving up

This is a notice to let you all know that I am giving up.

I can't even boil rice here. I dont have any idea what the problem could be. After a giant no go on the biscuits, again, I thought about chicken and rice. Anything normal (not that everything isnt good but sometimes you just want some comfort food) but no. I found out that I don't know how to boil rice. We have a steamer and I have never had to boil it. Maybe back in middle or high school I used boil in bag rice once but I don't even remember that time. How did I go from being a pretty good cook (ok, not the best but there were cell group people who would make requests) to bad rice. I made eclairs from scratch at home. SCRATCH!!! No more cooking. I give up.

On a nicer note, I'm not sick anymore and I watched Shrek in Italian which was still funny.

Hey everyone, Let’s see....I went waterskiing this week. Thanks to grandpa for teaching me how to slalom. It is more difficult in the ocean than the nice flat lake and I had to drop a ski because the boat wasn’t powerful enough to haul my big butt out of the water on one ski. Nevertheless, I had a fun time and made it before I did a spectacular flip/ nose-dive. I forgot how sore it makes you the next day and I couldn’t make a fist because I used all of those wrist muscles to pull myself out of the water. It was so much fun. Yesterday some friends of the family from NY came. We spent the day on the boat I got to spend some time talking with people who spoke English. The family was so nice I we had a lot of fun swimming and bouncing on the waves. They pointed out something that I never noticed about Elba. There are no clouds here. It never rains because it is the summer time (that isn’t weird) but I realized that it is kind of a strange thing that I could never quite pu...

Scusa!

Hey guys, First things first: sorry that it has taken me so long to get on here. I was having some connection problems. I don't have everything resolved so I might be putting some stuff like pictures on after this message. Bear with me. Last night was so much fun. We are in Capoliveri on the Island of Elba and they have a festival/ party one night every week during the month of August. It is kind of a mix between Halloween and Marti-Gras but without the naked/ costumes. The whole town is decked out in periwinkle (thanks to Camille I know what that color is), purple, and black. All night there was music in the streets and it seemed like the whole island was milling about the small hilltop. They have this tradition to let small homemade balloons into the sky at 1:00 in the morning. It was really beautiful. The balloons are like hot air balloons but they are the size of big beach bags. There is a little square of some kind of flammable material inside on metal hangars that you light ...
