Brrrrrr!!!

It's official: the cold is here and with it, the first seasonal flu! Ely and I both caught some kind of a virus that made us remain in bed for some days this week. We almost could be creative and made some autumn themed compositions with colorful leaves and little pumpkins (we are ready to carve our big one for Halloween!!!!)...

Last week we also had to face some unexpected expenses: a new fridge and fix our car's problems! Our fridge was veeeeery old (almost 30 y.o.) and we had it in heritage from my grandmother Emma. It worked for some months but the other day it stopped working and unfortunately all the food in it had to be thrown away. What a pity! We urged to have a new fridge, because it's impossible to live without it (or you have to go to the market every day for fresh food, which is impossible considering working people tight schedules!!!!). Here in Trento there is the outlet factory of Whirpool Europe, so we could get a very nice new fridge (a side by side one, our dream!!!!!) at a very reasonable price! Here is how it looks like in our kitchen (with some decorations and magnets we couldn't not place on it!!!)

Ely also found some ideas to bake a new cake with pear and lemon cream (I LOVE LEMON!!!)...so here is the result...it was VERY VERY YUMMY!!!!

What a lovely fridge! I actually buy the Whirlpool appliances for Costco- sorry I couldn't get you a deal in Europe!

Also, that pie looks amazing. I'd ask for the recipe, but then I'd have to do a ton of conversions..it might be too much! Hope it was as yummy as it looked!

Glad to hear you're feeling better..and back to blogging!
