Italian TV Commercials :)

Today I was thinking about how much I used to watch TV when I was younger. Right now, married and with 4 children I really don't have the time! We also decided not to have cable, because we cannot afford it, and we don't want the kids to watch useless programs all day long {as I use to do!}. :) So, the only time I have to watch it's bed time.. when the children are already sleeping, I like to watch the local news and one or two episodes of old TV-shows, then I fall asleep!

I remember an old Italian commercial that I used to LOVE.. just because Richard Gere is in it!! haha! Yes, American actors sometimes appear in Italian commercials.. and they speak Italian! Look at this:

I also found a few with John Travolta from a couple of years ago. Here's one:

   

I think they're funny!! 

And you? Do you have time to watch TV? 

A prestissimo!!!

Tomato Harvest

It seems like Fall is never gonna come. It's still very hot outside.. but I have to say that I'm enjoying these last days of Summer. I can still dry the clothes outside, before the rainy days come... and I like watering the plants everyday, especially my tomatoes!! It's the first time I have my own tomato-plants! Yesterday I picked and ate the first one... so good! 

Speaking about pomodori reminds me of something fun I did last summer.. I gave a few Italian Lessons to a sweet Denver girl who wants to learn my beautiful language! I don't know how much she learned in the end, I wish I had more time to do more lessons, but time really went so fast. During my lessons I taught her also some simple recipes {we cooked pasta with tomato sauce... and Pizza with Zucchini Flowers.. everything from scratch of course... }. It was fun!!! The best way to learn a language is to be somehow part of the culture and that's what I tried to do. ♥
