Pasta EVERY Day?!?

It is a wonderful experience to live in Italy because of the beautiful country, great food, and fine wine. The food is fresh and delicious but why must we have pasta every day!?! I am a nanny for a wealthy family. Every month the mother prepares a menu for the cook. You wouldn't believe all the carbs this family consumes! Pasta is prepared every day, sometimes TWICE a day and of course, we bread is served with each meal. Oh! and sometimes they have roasted potates as a second course served alongside roast beef, veal, or meatballs. Did I mention dinner is usually served at 8:00pm. LOL! The family went on vacation this week so the staff of six which consists of Peruvians are rejoicing because we will eat food that we crave. The meat of choice is chicken and we have been eating it every day...with RICE..no pasta. ; )
