  14. Okay, IF I were rich, and IF you would have me, I would totally fly up for this! I HEART FESTIVALS! That is one of the things I miss the most about NYC, no one can fry a ball of dough like the Italians! XX!

  15. I love festivals! I don't 'recognise' the food, I don't know what an arancini is, I'm obviously missing out on something really spectacular...
