Personally Speaking~Culinary Skills

Roses are red

Violets are blue

Although they are not red

I baked this one for you.

Culinary 4

Culinary 1

Culinary 2

Culinary 3

All three guys have shown us their culinary skills at one time or another.

Early on, Ignazio displayed his talent for making chicken marsala, sushi and pizza.

Piero has shown us photos of him grilling meat on an outdoor grill.

Gianluca recently has shown us a cake he made and now this beautiful rose pastry.

Is there anything these three CAN’T do?  I don’t think so.

Extremely talented well rounded individuals.  So adept with their music plus constantly letting us see just how proficient they are in other areas as well.  Soccer,  diving off high boats, horseback riding, salsa dancing,  able to speak in many languages, Ignazio playing the saxophone (OK, maybe he needs some more work on that one…).  I do think the list goes on and on.

They seem to strive for perfection, the highest degree of excellence, in all that they do.

Gianluca, your rose creation looks absolutely amazing. I  only wish we all lived closer to you and could have sampled it!

 

Personally Speaking~Looking Good!

Living the life of a nurse for a career is not a glamorous life to say the least.  Shower, put on clean scrubs, fix hair and I’m on the floor for duty.

When I see photos of the preparations Piero, Ignazio and Gianluca have to go through EVERY TIME they step on a stage I am thankful for the little prep it took me to pull off my gig every day.

To start with, take three  amazingly handsome Italians and try to make them even better?  Is it even legal?  The make up artists and hair stylists that have the privilege of working with these guys do an outstanding job of doing just this.  Many thanks to their great crew!

Personally Speaking~RED Glamour ~ Jane

Piero and Natalia Jimenez could be world class models as they show us how glamorous RED really is!

They look gorgeous together with the RED shoes, glasses, boots, scarf, lipstick and earrings.  And of course a RED stool to complete the ensemble.  Looks like even a corner of the RED Coke machine got in on this photo op!

They are the total package, I’d say!

Personally Speaking~Drawn to him~by Jane

Some people are naturally drawn to others.  It’s a kind of magnetism that certain people possess.  We are drawn to each other out of curiosity,  compassion, intrigue, love, respect, for oh so many reasons.

People are drawn to Piero, Gianluca, and Ignazio for all of the right reasons.  They are simply incredible human beings and you get a real sense of that just by being around them.

Gianluca and his father recently visited the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, in Pescara.  Just look at how these children are drawn to Gianluca.  They are very young children, but know when someone of greatness is near them.  Gianluca’s genuine warm, kindhearted, sincere way about him just naturally draws children close.  They feel safe and loved when in his presence.  Most children are so expressive of their emotions as the world has not told them yet how they should act, but they act in a very true spontaneous nature.

Gianluca, being 20, has lived long enough for the world to have told him many things.  Being raised by great parents has allowed him to become someone special that people of all ages are drawn to, especially children.

We wish we could shower you with gifts comparable to what you give to us.   But our gift to you is knowing we will always be here supporting you, promoting you, anxiously anticipating your return to our stages and loving you more and more as time goes on.  You three are gifts beyond compare to us and to the world.
