We invited Ornella and Donato for dinner last night. We met them in Verona in late May, as they were leading a Mediterranean Diet Study Abroad Program. They are professors at UA, Donato teaches and Ornella does cancer research. Within minutes of meeting in Verona, we discovered we live a block apart in Tucson! It is a very small world!
I served Moroccan Salad, Roasted Spiced Chicken, Rice with Pine Nuts, Roasted Broccoli with Garlic and Sliced Almonds, Roasted Balsamic Tomatoes, and Panna Cotta with Fresh Berries for dessert. They brought a bottle of Italian wine. We enjoyed dinner and talked for hours. They brought along a slideshow from their study abroad program this year, which we particularly enjoyed since we joined the group for a day, and we know one of the students participating. A nice evening!
