Good Morning, Jenny!
My favorite part of this video was when Sauro came and joined everyone for dinner. He was too funny chatting everyone’s ears off in Italian. And holy cow-did that pasta ever look good?!
How cool! I guess my most favorite parts of the video was seeing Italy! I want to get there so bad…so gorgeous and rustic!
“this was a tremendous mustache” …..best part…haha
lol, my favorite part was seeing them run around yelling for Sauro
Mushroom hunting looked like so much fun! I love mushroom hunting, and they found some amazing ones.
I love Sauro! I think his “tremendous mustache” was bigger than his actual mouth! And the “cutest forest people you’ve ever met”? so funny!
Sauro’s mustache!
I loved the shots of the streets of Italy and the markets. It reminded me of our trip to Italy.
Another great Italian adventure for those 3! My favorite was watching Marisa and Dan making pasta or should I say trying to make the pasta. There were several other great things about the video too… like the beautiful scenery, the adorable “forest people”, and how can we forget Sauro!
All so great! Thanks Jenny!
I thought it was funny when Rocco was squished in the bakseat. Ah, kneecaps! Italy is so beautiful, the scenery is magnificent!
Great video – my favorite part was Marisa trying to make pasta!
I LOVE the mustache, you really can tell he’s been working on it for awhile.
It would be amazing to go looking for wild mushrooms in Italy! I don’t even like mushrooms but just the thrill of the chase would be amazing!
I liked watching the cute Sauro. I lughted because he is so short compared to Rocco, but then at the end noticed he is the same height as Marissa! haha. Great giveaway!
I loved learning that you have to scrape spores off the mushrooms so that you can keep the mushroom patch going. How cool!
Sauro is so cute! I love Rocco teasing about his mustache!
I liked it when they were looking for Sauro, and how they were just yelling his name around. It reminds me of my family!
“every time Dan shifted gears, he hit my kneecaps!” If you are tall, like me, you know exactly what he is talking about! That was terrific!
Loving the marketplace with all the fresh garden varieties, not to mention the underwear available for purchase right next to their table! Sauro really did have a remarkable mustache!
Italy, mushroom hunting & an amazing pasta dish … BEAUTIFUL!!! Need I say more!
I love everything about Italy….the fabulous food markets, the countryside, the food…need I say more. Italy is my dream vacation!! Love Italian food!!!!!!
Mushrooms…..yummmmmm
I love this mustache! It is awesome!!!
I love seeing the Italian atmosphere. I’ve been wanting to go to Italy for several years so this was a sneak peek into what I will hopefully see before too long!
My favorite part was just seeing Italy. I want to go there so badly. It is absolutely gorgeous!
Well, I just loved Sauro, the mustache man! It reminded me of my Dad’s mustache! Oh, Dad…
And mushrooms… love, love mushrooms!
Okay so my favorite part of this video was when they were foraging in the Italian forest for mushrooms. How fun is that? And then they got to use those mushrooms to create a beautiful meal, that would be such an experience. In my dreams, right?
This video had me cracking up! I was dying when Rocco was talking about Sauros mustache and how impressive it was. I like the whole video, but this part gave me a giggle
I like how they just yelled “Saro” and it led him right to him. That chicken alfredo looked so yummy!
sauro’s mustache was pretty amazing. i learned a lot about mushrooms, brushing off the spores is pretty cool!
So I totally loved Sauro’s “mush”-stache. (See what I did there? LOL) And I wished the forest people were miniature, too. I am so hungry for pasta now!
Aww…. I remember when I was in Russia and we went mushroom hunting. Brings back sweet memeories. And I thought it was sooo weird?? Yet so neat.
My favorite part was finding the mushrooms. I never in my life ever thought about picking them from the forest floor. They come from the market in boxes right? I also loved seeing the old italian men. They all look like my grandfather in some way.
SAURO! SAURO!! I loved Sauro’s moustache!
Sauro- what a “funguy” Love the mustache
I loved the Italian scenery and the mustache on Sauro!
I loved the mushroom picking. That would be so much fun!
That looks so fun! I love when they are looking for Sauro. They’re all just yelling his name! Haha.
I first loved seeing the open air market then how much fun to gather the ingredients for your dish the way they did. Fixing a meal with others like they did would make it so special and then looking at the food…looked so good!
I loved when Marisa jammed the pasta machine and walked away and left it for Dan!
I love mushrooms and loved the mushroom hunting!
I’m torn between Sauro’s mustache and the cute mushroom hunters! This must have been an absolute blast for them!
I love the part where they were looking for Sauro! That was hilarious. I love Italy and can’t wait to go again
I liked the part where they were cooking especially the pasta. Makes me hungry!
The mushroom keepers were so cute. Also enjoyed the mushroom hunting!
My favorite part was the pasta machine! Holy smokes. Love it!
I loved the “mushroom keepers” and Rocco saying they could only be better in miniature! How awesome!
I found them looking for the mushrooms to be fascinating! So pretty, in an odd way.
I love seeing the streets in Italy, it makes me think I just went on a mini vacation!
Oooh, my favorite part in this one was when they had to go find Saro and Rocco is just walking through the street yelling SARO! SARO!!!!
Hey, it worked, didn’t it?
