Sort of local bresaola, made by beef meat, cutted very thin. In the photo accompanied by tasty ‘fontina’ and fresh focaccia, of course.
NB in July I will travel through Italy from Aosta to Maratea and at each stop will try to find a local specialty to present.
I arrived in Italy, that I will travel from North to South, just did few steps in open air (fine mountain air) and now feel as tired as if I had dug into a coal mine all day.
This is what I decided to call ‘MarcoPolo syndrome’: the traveller’s malaise going back on the road after a long period of home confinement.
I started in Aosta and will go down to Maratea and at each stop will try to find a local specialty to present here. The first one will follow soon.
The Swiss national football team is the clear demonstration that migration gives a positive contribution to any country.
Diversity is richness.
In our garden. Or even 10 ….
I have still my employment. It is not the same for many.
I see around a lot of ‘bonuses’ and ’emergency support funds’ but few new jobs.
Not a lot to celebrate.
Someone has taken part of our garden ….
Some phrase remains fixed in the memory of a family for whatever reasons. “Tu dormi e kinglax lavora” (while you sleep, kinglax is working (for you)) was one that my father liked a lot. Searching in google it seems that it comes from an old advertisement for a laxative, I always thought it referred to a washing machine.
He also was repeating when coming back from work: “Tutte le luci accese!” (All lights on) a costumary plea for energy saving.
I already mentioned zia Sitta’s “ti do una cosa” (I’ll give you a something) or “Nix palix” (nothing).
Not sure if in our present family we have similar idioms, I rather go back to childhood. But sometimes I repeat those.
