The Organist's Birthday Party

We were invited to come for pizza on Wednesday night at Alfredo's house.  He is the non member who comes every Sunday to play the organ for sacrament meeting.  We didnt know it was for his birthday party.  He invited a couple other families to come as well.  The past branch President, Marco D'Andolfo and his cute wife Stefania + their three kids came.  Here is a picture of them.

Stefania said that she is 10th generation Napalotano.  But unlike most people from Naples, she speaks very clearly and does not drop all the endings on her words.  She is our gospel doctrine teacher and is such a fantastic teacher.  She uses lots of hand motions when she talks and if I can't understand the words, I can often understand her gestures.
The Mondelli's came too.  Brother Mondelli is from Naples and I can not understand anything he says.  Everybody laughs while in conversation with him, because apparently he is very funny.  He is at the head of the table.  Alfredo is standing up on the right.

Here is a picture of the cute pizza boxes.  They are about half again as long as a large pizza from Pizza Hut. They are called "pizza al metro" because the pizzas are about a meter long.  We had five of these for the party.  My favorite one was the one with bitter broccoli and sausage on it.  The bitter broccoli is real stringy and has very few flowerets on it.  It tastes more like a bitter spinach I would say.  I have had it one other time and didn't love it cooked and put on my plate so I had to eat it, but on the pizza with whatever magic they put on it, it was yummy.
