Fabio...Buon Giorno..I have news for you. It is difficult to be on LC in Milan, "yes", but if one is Italain or Italian Decent, it is also difficult and right here in U.S.A. too. Because I was raised the same way you were. On Pasta, Pizza, Potatoes, delicious Italian Pastries etc. etc. The brain NEVER forgets these wonderful foods. So, I try very hard not to even have one taste, or I crave them all the time. My mom, God Bless her Soul, always said, "Mangia, Mangia eh fatti grossa". To give a guest some food, was our way of entertaining them. So, now I must pay the price and get all my old ways, in the past where they belong.
