Dolce Vita at Colorado College
Italian is a piece of cake
It’s that time of the year again – BBQ time!
Come join the Language Houses in our quad to celebrate spring and the approaching end of the school year! We will serve international food, we’re sure you will love it 🙂
Of course there will be music and a great atmosphere so mark the date:
This Friday, April 22nd at 12 pm International BBQ!
Thank you Inge for the delicious polenta and chicken alla cacciatora, and the explanation to obtain the perfect polenta!
Dear students from IT 201 and residents of the Italian house, I hope you had fun and you learned how to impress your friends or family making home made polenta!
See you next block for a new event in the Italian House 🙂
Come make polenta with us, learn about its origins and its cooking process!Â
Our Italian House friend Inge will lead this lab, sharing her secrets with us. She will also bring us a polenta-based dinner 😉
All the magic is happening as usual in the lounge of the Italian House and it’s starting this Wednesday at 6pm 🙂 Don’t miss this!
…Or not.
Anyway, last night’s tasting was great!
Francisco did an amazing job presenting the samples and challenging us to guess their different flavors and aromas. Lidia was by far our best connaisseur 😉
We also had a brief quiz about Italian chocolate and everyone did their best trying to read the questions in perfect Italian. Finally, Mami & Matt were our winners! Congratulations everyone and thanks for coming, alla prossima  😉
Real chocolate for real chocolate lovers!
That’s our motto for tomorrow: join us at 8 pm to taste Italian and Ecuadorian chocolate and learn something about your favorite sweet stuff. We’ll have a little quiz to test your knowledge in the field as well… and of course, you’re welcome to taste the samples!
A huge GRAZIE to Francisco for organizing this event and providing the chocolate!!!
Ci vediamo domani, un lunedi’ ‘cioccolatoso’ 😉
Dario was a great barista! Here is proof (grazie Mami):
Grazie for coming and chatting with us, hope you enjoyed it – you surely did like the coffee! 🙂
DON’T FORGET: this is a blockly event, so we’ll have our next espresso session on the second Monday of Block 8.
A presto!
Sara & Dario
Spring is here!…And it makes us sleepy 😉 What better way to wake up properly than with an awesome breakfast together? Come to the Italian House lounge tomorrow at 8:30 and you can eat/grab:
Pancakes! Eggs & bacon! Muffins! Fruits! Hot chocolate! Good coffee!… well, there’s more but we can’t spoil the surprise 😀
Venite, a domani! 
Last night was all about learning the “gnocchi technique” while having fun!Â
  
  
   
  
Antonio and Marsha were great instructors for our students, residents and community members – and they were great Mazurka dancers, too!
Now we know how to make tasty gnocchi and how to impress everyone at the next family dinner 😉
Grazie to all those who came and participated and GRAZIE MILLE Antonio & Marsha!
Ragazzi, you deserved it!Â
Delicious Neapolitan pizza for everybody to celebrate the impressive progress made in the past days – your Italian is constantly improving!
Keep up the good work and don’t worry: by joining the Italian program you’ll never be short of pizza 😉
