Friends and our kids (kids change the face of fun... it's not so much a party, as an evening daycare with dinner)... dinner was good: local salami, ventricina, mozzarella from Venafro, marinated olives, bruschetta, pasta (tonnarelli all'uovo) with a smoked-salmon and vodka cream sauce, a rib-eye steak, lentils and sausage, panettone, pandoro, excellent Cabernet Sauvignon produced in the perfect microclimate located in Abruzzo, and spumante at midnight. All this took place on top of a tiny hill at 700 mt. a.s.l. in a village called Carunchio, at Palazzo Tour D'Eau.

The only new years traditions I know about around these parts is to eat lentils, as they represent coins, i.e., wealth in the new year, and some odd pork thing called cotechino, which seems to be a processed and machine-shaped version of a pig's leg/foot, which represents something else (maybe abundance?) for the new year. I think I've heard of people tossing old things out the window in other parts of the country. Maybe Naples? Can't remember.
