EATING IN SICILY

When I'm in Sicily, befoe I go out for my cornetto and cappuccino, I prepare myself one of these salads. I must take advantage of the incredibly tasty tomatoes, the sublime incanestrato or Sicilian pecorino, the incredible bread, the fresh basil, the super aromatic origano and the heavenly olive oil. As we say in Italy: ogni lasciata e' perduta or everything you leave behind or do not take advantage of is lost. A typical carpe diem situation.
 

 These delightful and delicate queen Anne's lace are all alond country roads here in north eastern Pennsylvania: a sure sign of summer.

 A classic summer dish. Penne rigate with shredded zucchine and Italian canned tuna in olive oil. I found some wonderful hot red peppers and added them for a zestier taste. Delicious.

 FOOD NOT VERY GOOD FOR YOU. Who cares; once in a while it will not kill you and if crave  and enjoy it, the end result is that iw will be good for you. I live to eat. This stir fry of potatoes, onions, bacon and peppers is absolutely delicious. Nevertheless in these litigious times I must state: talk to your health care professional before you eat this. LOL.
