Siena, Day 4
The overhead mirror helped everyone watch Lella prep to make the Cantuccini bisquits
The Wabash group looked on with some trepidation
But soon everyone was busy.
Lella had our group member work the dough and roll out the Pici pasta
Here is a close look at the mushroom and sausage sauce she taught us to prepare.
Everyone took a turn.
Steve Baker and Gordon Vogel rolling some Pici
The Boyeres said they cook together all of the time.
Judy Burgess had a ball learning Lella's pasta techniques
Our youngest alum and Admission staff member tim Cheek got busy rolling Pici.
Jake Ezell turned out to be our group's master pasta maker.
What's that sheepish Ezell grin all about?
P.T. Buntin was keeping a close eye on the pasta sauce
Gordon Vogel was finally convinced to give pasta making a try.
Our Wabash wives were all rolling pasta too!

Earlier, Lella was keeping a close eye on Steve Baker stirring the sauce. At one point she playfully threatened him with a pizza tray.
Lella checks on the sauce.
Real cooks use green olive oil ... not the yellow stuff you often see in the states.
Rudy Altergott '13 is the only student on our trip. He was rolling pasta too!
The pork roast and roasted potatoes were incredible end to our meal.
