This month’s Cafe de La Leche gathering took place in the beautiful Casa de Campo villa of Sally Crasso, in her pool/terrace area overlooking the La Romana golf course, the perfect setting for a lovely afternoon with friends.
As Sally is one of Casa de Campo’s Italian community, this Cafe de La Leche was attended by a large number of Italian-speakers and so another great opportunity for me to practice my very limited Italian! «Auguri, Sally – it was wonderful! Bravissimo!»
Sally really stuck to her Italian roots with the food and served a number of delicious and typically Italian dishes such as Polenta topped with a tomato sauce, which was heavenly. There were also a good selection of Dominican snacks such as pastellitos stuffed with ricotta and spinach – after all, no Cafe de la Leche is complete without pastellitos!
AUGURI! It was a lovely event and the perfect start to a long night – many guests (including Sally) then went off to the opening Cocktail for the Sugar Golf Tournament.
For those of you who are unfamiliar with the Cafe de la Leche, it is a charitable event in aid of the Hogar del Nino, which is a children’s day care centre in the town of La Romana, which cares for over 1,500 children ever day.
The aim of the Cafe de la Leche, is in fact not merely to eat drink and be merry, but to gather milk supplies for the crib room at the Hogar del Nino, which has over 200 babies in it. The Cafe de la Leche is a lovely opportunity to meet other ladies in Casa de Campo as well as donate to the Hogar del Nino, and if you’ve never attended before, all you have to do is show up with a can of dried milk and everyone there is so friendly, that you’re guaranteed to have a great time!
