The last of the sardines before they got scarfed down!
Our friends, Mara and Enrico
Diana, our friend and guest from Berkley.
Our main course was roasted chicken with rosemary and garlic, and a pasta salad Caprese, made with mozzarella, tomatoes and basil.
Mara and Enrico brought these amazing gelato treats called "Dopo Cena" from Visconti, our very favorite Gelato shop in Acqui.
Good friends, good food, good wine. Balmy temperatures, no humidity, an afternoon swimming and lazying around by the pool, followed by a slow food, slow moving dinner.
It just does not get any better than this!
By the way, if you want to come and stay in this part of Piemonte but would prefer an apartment over a hotel or B&B, my friends Enrico and Mara have the perfect place.
Here is where you will find the details...
One more thing. Gratitude Friday is a resounding success, thanks to you! I will be putting up the new Gratitude Friday blog roll this week. If you would like to participate on your blog, post the things you are grateful for on Friday, and link it back here to Creative Structures. The more gratitude that we put out there, the more the Universe will open doors to our own personal contentment.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

I already had lunch but my mouth is watering from all the photos that you and Diana prepared. Absolutely scrumptious!
I like the idea of Graditude Friday. I will have to read up on it ....
Cara Diana,
There is nothing like enjoying a pranzo or cena at slow pace together with friends you love. Cooking together gives it yet another dimension. You can tell you had a wonderful Sunday together. No wonder your B&B is so highly rated! Bacione, Ingrid in Umbria
Looks like a wonderful meal. Glad you are enjoying life! xx
Oh you have just made me very hungry all of a sudden, such a delightful meal :-)

What a great way to spend a sunday.
Your meal looks divine! I would love to participate in Gratitude Friday - I'll keep an eye out next week.
