FISH LUNCH at Silvana and Vincenzo's!

When we were invited to Silvana and Vincenzo's house for lunch, they asked us if we like fish. YES! SI!

Vincenzo said that the entire lunch would fish(es)... and he was right. Amazing. We had six different types of fish made a variety of ways. This is truly one of the best meals I've ever eaten.

Primo (first) course - pasta with fish:

Secondi (second) course - four different plates of fish:

These stuffed prawns (shrimp) were absolutely amazing, mmmmmm:


Cold salmon with onions, tomatoes, and a juice sauce... amazing!

Angela, Christopher, Denis, Gina, Silvana:


I was already stuffed and then Vincenzo brings out a huge platter piled with aluminum foil packets. I asked what was inside and he said 'a surprise' - haha. Inside was a breaded fish... teeth and all! I felt like I was back in Vietnam but without chopsticks. This was awesome. We basically picked at the fish to get forkfuls... so soft and flavorful.

Aaaaand, of course, rounding off the meal with a caffe!

Silvana and Vincenzo have a really beautiful backyard with many flowers and fruit trees/plants. Below are some photos of their fruits. Vincenzo asked Angela if she wanted to take a lemon home from his tree... and her response was perfect... "Perche no?"... Why not? Haha.

Oranges that don't look orange:

Angela and I were invited to Silvana and Vincenzo's house for lunch our last day in Abruzzo... before getting on a train to head to Verona. Christopher and Denis are their sons... and they have two cute dogs as well. The dogs truly eat pasta! (Now that's an "Only in Italia!" moment!)


They are also taking care of their neighbor's cat for the summer holiday...

They have a number of turtles:

Aaaaand the doggies   : )
