pizza party

This is Aldo Francisconi's home in Embue. Aldo is the director of the Missionary Training Center here in Brazil. He bought this home over twenty years ago and has been remodeling and adding on to it over the years. In Brazil you are required to take your vacation time all at once. Everyone is required to get a one month vacation even part-time workers.

The yard is surrounded by the jungle and they say that monkeys are often found in the yard. Aldo and his wife are antique collectors and avid pizza makers. Both Aldo and his wife have Italian ancestors.this is the side entrance into the new addition he has added on to his home.

this room is a pizza kitchen and a place to place a lot of their antiques

This is Francille and Aldo in their aprons and hats. Francille makes the crust, cuts up all the toppings and makes the tomatoe sauce Aldo does the cooking and the cutting. This is quite the show. Aldo puts the pizza in the oven with a wooden pallet. Shakes it off onto the bricks inside the oven. Then he shuffles it around with the metal pallet until it is done.

Here I am looking into the ovenAs soon as the pizza is done The bang a pan that hangs on the wall next to the oven, pour olive oil over the pizza and cut it up into wedges.

Vernon is looking out the window. He counted the seating and figured that they could serve 50 people in this room.

We had to leave early so they let us eat the first pizza that came out. I am a little surprised that they like things like Broccoli, Zucinni, eggs, chocolate and bananas on their what all they put on pizza as well as lots of what I like cheese, peppers, onions, and olives. The tomato sauce is more like a very finely ground up salsa rather than a tomato paste based sauce.

Besides the pizza they have a system set up for Kareoki (I am not sure if that is how you spell it)

Then they have over a thousand videos

and a room full of sofas. This is a perfect place for a family gathering or gathering of friends. I understand that they often host wedding parties here too. Needless to say it was just a delightful evening. The GPS even worked on the dirt roads that we had to take to get to their home.
