Wonderful, bright and colorful. The reflection of the man on the right also adds to the shot. This photo just brightened my day! :-) And now I'm in the mood for some pasta! #9841

Hi Delores, Yes, this is the picture and thanks again for the nice comments again!. He does make a good lasagna too, but not as good as mine... The secret is in the tomatoe sauce and mine is the best on earth!! You'll have to come here and I will make some for us with the meatballs, salad and italian bread.. Can you tell that I am hungry?? #9951
