Italian affair

We had a big Italian dinner at Jeana and Christians tonight. They just returned from their trip to Italy and brought back all kinds of pasta, sauces and breads. I tried my hand at making homemade sauce from our overwhelming garden full of tomatoes. Callie helped pick the tomatoes and wash them. Here's a shot of our harvest today. Unfortunately I must not be a great Italian chef as my sauce was just pretty bland. I think I need to add twice as much spices and garlic. I'll see if I can fix it up for round 2. Everything that actually came from Italy was delicious though and we are until we could hold no more in our bellies.
