As we were driving up to Lake Geneva for the second time in a week, I was thinking how much my Mom would enjoy this town. I think later in the summer my Mom, Hannah and I will spend a day there walking around all the shops.
We ended up picking up a quick lunch on our way up.
Lake Como was just as beautiful:
My great nephew was fishing – although he was afraid to put the worms on and take the fish off. I hate that too, but he wanted to fish so got the courage to cut the worms in half and take the hooks out of the fish. I may have screamed once or twice though!
Part of their resort package included afternoon tea, sherry and cookies. Hannah and I each took a sip of the sherry – ick!
Then Hannah and I walked around for a bit.
We had a wonderful time talking with my MIL’s family. Before we knew it, it was time to head home. We stopped at a place close to our house.
Hannah and I were both starving, so we split cheese sticks.
Then I saw a pasta dish that I wanted, but Tony suggested I request for it to be spicy. The chef came over and was like “what kind of spice do you want?” Crushed red pepper, cajun. . . I decided on cajun and boy was it good. With the sour of the goat cheese, and the spice of the sauce, I was one happy camper. The broccoli was just okay. I probably ate about 3 pieces of broccoli, half the goat cheese and about a cup and a half of pasta.
It was a stormy night last night. Here are the pictures from the restaurant to our house, which is about a 10 minute drive:
Was that a gorgeous drive home or what?
Gotta scoot – Tony’s family is coming over for a bbq this afternoon before his parents head back to Florida. Come back tomorrow for yet another baked bean recipe – its out of Bon Appetit and its called Root Beer Baked Beans!
You still have until tomorrow to enter my 300,000 page view giveaway – good luck! 😀

Wow that IS a gorgeous place! And haha, Tony knows you so well! My dad and I do the same thing all the time: “A little more spice, please! Actually, as spicy as possible! Ssss!”
Love the pic with the rainbow and faint moon 🙂
Sounds like you had a great day at the lake with the family and your nephews face was so cute holding the fish – yuck I couldn’t do the fish and worm thing either.
BTW – fresh lychee’s are awesome compared to the canned ones.
I have a recipe from SA that uses canned ones – I will look for it and post it for you to try.
Enjoy the rest of your w/e.
The weather was crazy last night…it just poured!
