I loved being a tourist in Rome, eating gelato and basking in history and culture. We wandered the cobblestone alleys, immersed in the sound of flowing Italian, like extras in a romantic movie. Lunch was always spaghetti and the wine only Italian (we were there for just four days, not enough time to get sick of it). At home I dreamed of going back, imagining myself sipping espresso on the bank of the Tiber. Instead I read Eat, Pray, Love
I never did get back to Italy. Then last week I received a call asking if I wanted to create a short video on pasta for a competition. No, of course I didn’t. “Winner goes to Italy!” she quickly added before I could hang up. Hmm, this changes things a bit. I will sell my soul to get back to Italy so I agreed.
With the help of my friend Yael Segal-Ruder, who I now call Spielberg, we went into action to create our first video ever. It also happens to be my 2nd blog birthday this month, so if I may ask, please hop over to see my video (winner is the one with the most views so share it with all your friends).

Happy blog birthday!
You and “Spielberg” did a wonderful job. Hope you win!
That video is hilarious and so well made! You should win the trip to Italy!!! And thanks for having us bloggers at your home last Friday:-)
Oh and where is that video going to be,I mean on which Barilla site?
P.S. Posted it in my food blog…And happy blog anniversary!
Happy blog birthday + may you see Italy again soon!
You are all great! thanks for commenting and having as much fun with the video as I did (I never realized how serious some people can be). My dog, btw, refused to eat anything at the beginning because he already ate a hallah bread my neighbor threw into the yard (thinking I wasn’t looking).
Woohoo! Loved your video, you have my vote to get you back to Italy? Does that mean I can come and carry your luggage? Best of luck!
Best of luck with the video. I hate being filmed – or even having my photograph taken for that matter. Wow, can’t believe your blog is nearly two. That’s ANCIENT these days in the blog world!
Long may we all continue…

Loved the video, funny. The dog played a great part and happy blog birthday.
Loved the video and hope it wins you the trip to Italy. Does Barilla promise to FEED the winner the whole time too?
I love Barilla actually.
And happy 2nd blog birthday! It feels like a landmark, doesn’t it? Many more blogging years to go…
thank you Miriam, It has been an eventful two years blogging, who would have thought I would do a video?
