On Easter we got up and ate some giant Easter eggs that were rapped in cellophane. Then we went to have lunch at Regula and Pasquale's house. Before lunch we had an indoor Easter egg hunt.  I was the 1st to find my egg, it was taped under the chair.  Then we had 2 giant eggs each. They were delicious!!!  For lunch we had lasagna. It was delicious!!!! I can't remember what we had for dessert but it was also...... DELICIOUS!!!  Pasquale had a locked cabinet full of guns and So many bullets.He used them to hunt cinghiale (wild boar) They guns were AWESOME!!!!!

We went to Panicale on Easter Monday, Pasquetta (little Easter) and they had a cheese rolling competition. The winner is the one to roll their 4kg pecorino cheese wheel around the town. One time the pecorino banged into a car and gave it a huge dent.  Everyone cheered when it hit the car because the car should not have been there.  Cheese rolling,  Ruzzolone, is a cross between yoyoing and bowling. The players wrap a cord around the edge of the cheese wheel before flinging it around the village.  There is also a lot of loud arguing between the two teams.   In the centre of town there was lots of music and food. We  also were lucky to be there when they bashed open a "tall as you are" Easter egg. It was MASSIVE. Taller than me and probably heavier than me.   One lucky kid got to smash it open with a hammer!  We had some of the egg. The chocolate was soooo thick.  YUM!!!!! Or should I say...DELICIOUS!!!!!

At home Signora Marisa came and cooked gnocchi  with mum and Josie.  For dolce she made a gigantic strawberry cream cake. It was delicious!!! She comes every Wednesday night. She is a better cook than mum .............don't tell mum!!
