I hate men, simply for the fact that you could eat all that, cut back on beer, and damned if you won't lose weight!!!

My cousin and her husband are visiting from Sicily. My mother treated us all out to dinner last night and the food was really great. The owner of this restaurant is Sicilian, and they were very happy to have another person to speak with!

We started with a cold antipasto and some bruschetta, then pasta in a fresh tomato sauce, a choice of chicken saltimbocca, steak or stuffed salmon, and we finished with trays of cookies and canolli. I felt like a stuffed pig.

We took them shopping yesterday and wanted to treat them for lunch. They said that they wanted hamburgers. I wanted to at least take them to a Friday's, but they insisted on McDonald's!
