A very long lunch to celebrate the Befana's day!

in life •  6 years ago 

Yesterday I talked to you about the italian folkloristic figure called Befana (you can read more here) and today I gave a lot of candy and chocolate to all my great cousins, 15 kids from 3 years old to 17 years old! We had the luch all together with my relatives, a very large lunch with a very lunch family. We were about 60 people inside the home of my aunt Claudia, the only one who have enough space at home to have a similar lunch all together ^_^

Every year Claudia and her daughters think about a new placeholder for the Befana's lunch and this here they worked on these nice "socks":

Just to know, we started to eat at the 1:00 pm and we finished at the 5:00 pm. From a lot of different crostini ( appetizers made with small slices of bread and sauces) to a lot of taste cookies, between lasagne and pappardelle (2 kinds of italian pasta) and different meat.

My aunt is really a great cook and everything was excellent!

This is my fantastic aunt:

At the end, between other cakes, there was also this cake to celebrate the Befana with her broom:

I took some pics of my relatives while we were waiting to drink the coffee at the end of the lunch, just to show you a part of my family and the place where we were (in different tables placed in 2 rooms):

It was really a nice day spent with my entire (large) family, but now I really need some digestive to quiet my belly! 

Here in Italy we use to say "L'epifania tutte le feste porta via" tat meand Epiphany is the last feast of the Christmas period of the year, so everyone can start a diet just tomorrow ^_^

See ya later

Mi stavo giusto chiedendo come fossi messa tu con la dieta.. io ho dovuto smettere un pochino prima delle ferie perché la mia tiroide stava scioperando..

Io per fortuna ho dovuto "sforare" solo il giorno di Natale e oggi, durante gli altri giorni son stata attenta perchè altrimenti la mia tiroide avrebbe dato i numeri :P

anche tu problemi... la mia è curata da anni, ma fa pena uguale. Prendo i farmaci dosaggio 100, il dottore mi ha detto: magari quest'anno abbassiamo il dosaggio.. Se capita faccio un post con titolo Miracolo.

Io ho l' ipotiroidismo (pure mia mamma) e prendo l'eutirox da 75, ma devo fare il controllo a breve e "mi sento" che dovrò aumentare il dosaggio. Se te lo abbassano sarai una speranza per tanti! ^_^

Io prendo quello da 100.
Ma a me prendono pure gli attacchi di panico... e ti capisco quando va male ce lo si sente. .. in bocca al lupo. 😎

This is such an awesome family gathering. 60 of you :O! That is magnificent indeed, I hope everyone is getting along and enjoying themselves? Well if not, at least the food is still delicious looking and nicely presented :).
