Gift request: Can someone send me some elastic waist pants?

Food in Italy is delizioso, and pants that fit me a week after Evan was born, are now starting to get a bit tight...now that is sad, that Italy is doing to me what pregnancy did not! Bread & pizza dough apparently do more of a number on me than my little dough boy did (pic attached of my little dough boy:).

Despite the delicious, fresh, flavorful food of Naples, such as my "Amalfi" salad that I order quite often (pizza boxes are typically used by the restaurants near our hotel as the 'to go' containers for anything we order..pizza or not), it is still sometimes nice to have some good old American food, so we were excited to have meatloaf & cheesy potatos at our friends house this past weekend. I also indulge every once in a while in my "American Nutty" ~$10 jar of peanut butter, as well as a Hamburger con formaggio (cheeseburger) at this new burger joint called "Orange" that is just about a 15 minute walk away, and is always packed w/Italian teenagers.

I've tried to make it a point this week to order new things, and have been pleasantly surprised by my:
-Zuppa di pasta e zucca= essentially pureed butternut squash served hot w/ a variety of freshly made pasta noodles mixed in.
-Insalate con legumes= cold bean salad. Consisted of pinto beans, white beans and chick peas, served cold on a plate. Then, the waiter brought me a lemon slice, high quality olive oil (which it all seems to be around here) and salt. The beans, lightly seasoned with those items, were delicious. Light, fresh, and so tasty. I think later that day I was "passa a wind" like the sign in my earlier post suggested:)
-Bean and sausage soup. I forget what it was called, but it was great. Very hearty and spicy.
-One of Josh's favorites--the huge mozzarella ball w/ tomatos, called "mozzarella du bufala".
-I've been ordering parmigiana de melanzane at most places that have it to compare the various 'eggplant parmigiana' recipes. Everyone has their own way of making it, but so far, each recipe has tasted great, and it continues to be one of my favorite dishes. They love eggplant here...hmmmm...maybe it's eggplant that the Neapolitan's are 'honoring' with all the purple that they wear. Purple seems to be the color of choice for Neopolitans, and as we walk down the street, it's hard to avoid seeing a sea of purple dressed people. Men wearing purple scarves (I know what I'm getting Josh for his birthday:) , purple pants, women in purple berets, sweaters, jackets etc. Hmmm..maybe they are just die-hard Seahawks fans???...Nah..I think it's the eggplant:)

I'm really hoping that we get that Posillipo apartment so that I can learn some Italian cooking. I talked to my friend Stephanie today, who is married to a Neopolitan, plus, although American, she has a huge Italian family, and she was in the midst of preparing Sunday dinner for her husband. The menu: pasta in a bolognese sauce, meatballs, sausage, steak, salad, cheese's, salami's, olives, nuts, fruit, profiteroles, etc. I've already enlisted her to teach me some of her cooking skills, plus, as a bonus, she makes homemade limoncello--fun! So again, please send me some elastic waist pants--pronto! ha!
