Isabelle's Confirmation

On Tuesday morning we went to St. Patrick's Church in Huntington to see Isabelle confirmed.  She was a beauty! in a Lilly Pulitzer strapless dress.

After church we all went to Piccolo's (http://www.piccolorestaurant.net/) also in Huntington.  Leslie spared nothing as a wonderful host:  Appetizers:  Eggplant Rollatini - ricotta & spinach - melted mozzarella, L.I. Little Neck Clams - oreganata, Fried Calamari - fra diavolo & garlic basil aioli, Poached Pear Salad - mesclun greens, candied walnuts, maytag bleu cheese & port wine dressing.  Entrees:  Chicken Parmigiana - served with linguini pomodoro, Filet of Sole Roberto - lightly breaded, fresh tomato & basil in a lemon & white wine sauce, Veal Chop Valdostano - stuffed with parma proscuitto & mozzarella cheese, mushroom demi glace, Veal Parmigiana - served with linguine pomodoro. Add wine, coffee and a beautiful chocolate cake and lunch was complete.  Afterwards we went back to Lelie's for can-jam on lawn, music from Louis' playlist and later pizza (pepperoni, white and regular).  It was a wonderful day with "framily."

Saturday I am visiting my brother for a few hours to go through boxes of photos. He doesn't know who most of the people are in the photos (old family) and I will hopefully be able to label most of them.

Sunday is Mother's Day and I am childless as my son is away at school, so I am sleeping late (not unusual in any case) and then Michael and I are going to the beach club to spruce up a bit.

Happy Mother's Day to you all!
