Tourists don't care about rain...

It's going to rain ...and my mammy has not called yet....quite strange....
I don't know, but it's very common for sicilian mammies to be worried about rain...
It's true, in Sicily we usually have less than 50 rainy days per year, BUT, this year things are changing. WE already have the rain we usually have for an whole winter...and my mammy's calls have increased..
why? It's 16 years since I started to work as a tourist guide....and it's 16 years since my mammy calls me and asks me: "Lucia have you to work..with all this rain??" - " Si mom, of course, tourists don't care about rain and they have already paid travel agent in advance..bla bla bla.."- " Sure, at least..copriti!!!!"
That's always the dialouge on the phone early morning when it's raining.......
Strange??? maybe not....here rain almost seems stops daily routine......maybe beacuse we are not so used to it and we don't do anything to be..

.....it has not rained.....the weather forecast I watched early this mkorning were wrong..so mom has not called me , at least, not to tell me "copriti!!"...

The caponata of the Inspector Montalbano... simply sciavurusa!

Yesterday I was at the street market in my Ortigia and I ate a wonderful caponata When it was served at my table that marvellous vision reminded me the description given by Andea Camilleri in one of the episodes of his popular Inspector: " The moment he opened the refrigerator, he saw it. Caponata! Fragrant, colourful, abundant, it filled an entire soup dish, enough for at least four people. It had been months since Adelina, his housekeeper, last made it for him. The bread, in its plastic bag, was fresh, bought this morning. The notes of the triumphal march of Aida came spontaneously, naturally, to his lips. Humming, he opened the French windows after turning the light one the veranda. Yes, it was a cool night, but still warm enough to eat outside. He set the little table, brought the dish, the wine, and the bread outside, and sat down " (Excursion to Tindari, Andrea Camilleri) There were three Dutch tourists reading carefully the menu close to me
