A Multi-Lingual Dinner Party

We had a really nice international multilingual dinner last night. Lovely to meet my brother in law Vicente's cousin Rosangela visiting from Calabria. She speaks Italian and Portuguese but not English. Another guest,  my friend,  Connie lives in Long Beach but hails from Brazil. She could speak to Rosangela in Portuguese and translate for all of us. Vicente who is Italian was born and raised in Brazil speaks Italian, Portuguese, English, French and Spanish. My sister speaks some Portuguese and Italian. You can imagine the fun we had translating. Vicente made a beautiful salad, Roseangela who is a chef made a delicious hazelnut cake with a ricotta, pear and limoncello filling. Thank you Connie for the lovely flowers and all the guests for a truly fun evening.
