andar per capperi!


  
for one afternoon we were thieves of capers......driving between the countyrside from Ragusa to Scicli, we found lots of wild capers' plants coming out from the dried stonewalls along the streets...
We picked a few and following the advise of my man's mother....
we washed them, quicly dried them and put under salt in a glass box..
ready for next winter.....

    Gorgeous! Can you pick them anytime in the summer???? I know they turn into flowers if they're not picked, but do they cease being good for picking after they begin to open up even a little bit??? Grazie!

    ciao Jann
    no just now there's not enough time..before they become those lovely white flowers..
    you have to pick them very little before opening and turning into flowers....
    straight look at the end of the brenches.....
    by they end of the month it will be too late..

    buona fortuna!!! :-)

Busulmona: like Heaven!

Busulmona : XIXth  century farmhouse, once property of the  Cavaliere Sessa, today run by the family Di Pino. 5 km far from Noto it is immersed in a wonderful almond grove and carobs olives and all the colours of nature   make of this piece of Sicily a true paradise! It works as a B&B at the moment with only two bedroom, but it's also possible to have lunch tasting olive oil and almonds and wathever  what rigorously the family produce and cook for you!  Tranquillity, harmony, genuinity.. this are the things coming to my mind when I was there The name Busulmona , which is the name of all that area,comes from the Arabic and means the land of sun....  an extraordinary view  from the stone terrace on the Val di Noto, from Noto to Vendicari and Marzamemi... . for further information : www.busulmona.com

Back to school!

I'm exausted! In these days students are coming back to school In a book shop I saw this lovely school agenda...( Il Diario ) TO choose the new diario was a nice thing to do with my friends. Everybody, among girls, was curios to see the others' agenda and then, through the school year fill it with drawings, puzzles of photoes, phrases, songs ...and homework (sometimes)  as well. If I were still at school, i think this would be my agenda!!!
