It wasn’t quite as dramatic as my narrow escape from Canada — and actually she really liked it — but Jocelyn spent this morning at a local cooking camp learning to prepare reasonably authentic Italian cuisine. Clearly, the themes of our recent trip to Europe will pervade out entire summer.

She and her table mates made their own two-cheese raviolis from scratch, with an accompanying tomato sauce and garlic bread. They made pasta dough in pairs, and worked as a table of six to make everything else. Using a pasta machine, they rolled the dough and stuffed each pillow individually.

It’s an Around the World food camp, featuring a different cuisine each day. Tomorrow, she finally gets out of Europe … and into China.

First of all, you need to know that Felicia picked out her outfit all by herself this morning. She was personally very excited to go to the Earthquakes game today at Buck Shaw Stadium.

It’s also worth noting that she apparently agrees with commentator Jay Hipps, that there is no need to refer to the MLS franchise from New York by its supposed name. She kept calling them the “FireBolts” in reference to Jocelyn having read all 448 pages of Harry Potter 3 in four days this week.

And the girls got to take their picture with the actual MLS Cup trophies that that the previous SJ Earthquakes won before the thieving scoundrels from AEG couldn’t stand their success any longer, and moved them to Houston.

Despite all of this, the Quakes still spotted their unnamed opponent an own goal in the 4th minute, and only managed a tie in a game they otherwise thoroughly dominated. Maybe next week.

• Jocelyn started Harry Potter 3 on Tuesday. Finished it an hour ago. #
