Our last day here in the States. Matthew and I headed into the city for brunch with my mother, great aunt and sister Sheila. Matthew grazed through dim sum so quickly, he practically inhaled the bamboo steamers. It was funny watching him stalk the women with the dim sum carts. He definitely knew what he wanted....all his favorites. Ranging from the steamed pork buns to the sticky rice wrapped in the lotus leaf. We did our final parade through the streets of New York and headed back to Bayside where I spent the afternoon resorting and finalizing our luggage. My mother-in-law prepared Matthew's favorites for his last supper here in the States. It consisted of spinach ravioli with fresh marinara sauce (come on....did you really think she would do something out of a jar????), homemade meatballs and of course, fresh cannoli's for dessert.
Matthew throughly enjoyed his last meal here. Watching him sprinkle the freshly grated parmesan cheese on his ravioli with marinara sauce and then mopping up the residual sauce with fresh semolina bread. Who said this kid isn't half Italian? He eats like his father. Literally. There isn't any denial on paternity on Tony's part when it comes to Matthew's eating habits. They both love pasta with a passion and fresh semolina bread. The fresh semolina bread is something that we can't get in Shanghai. So, we achieved our goal by eating our favorite foods these past two months. We'll just have to remember our dining experience here in the States.
