Mmm! Okay, we have settled on:
- bruschetta (2 kinds which my husband makes superbly)
- followed by fresh cappelletti in brodo
- followed by agnello arrosto al rosmarino, with all the trimmings
- followed by Gala's lovely fruit macedonia & marscapone
- and caffe'.
The wines go without saying, of course. :bigergrin:
