Sicilian food
Sicily was wonderful.
And while I'm still waiting to get my films back from the lab, here are some photos of the most incredible food (shot with my phone), in chronological order:
antipasti, zia Pina, Palermo
a beer after lunch, Antica Foccacceria San Francesco, Palermo
brioche con gelato di gelsi e panna, Ilardo, Palermo
brioche con gelato di pistacchi e gelsi, La Delizia, Mondello
cannolo espresso, Rosciglioni, Palermo
granita di gelsi con la panna, Ilardo, Palermo
cappuccino e torta di mandorle, arancia e cioccolato bianco, Cioccolateria Lorenzo, Palermo
cassata, Antica Dolceria Bonajuto, Modica
granita mandorle e caffè, Caffè Sicilia, Noto
...afterward
figs from the tree behind the house, Ispica
dolcetti from the nuns in Siracusa
the best pizza ever, Calvino, Trapani
pane cunzatu, Trapani
cappuccino, Scopello
PS: I didn't take any photo of pane panelle e crocchè, but if you ever go to Palermo it should definitely be on your list of street food to try; it's a sandwich stuffed with chickpea flour fritters and potato croquettes (we loved the one at Franco o'Vastiddaru). It makes me hungry just to think about it.
I'll be back soon with "real" photos!

les mûres
Blackberries are my favourite august fruit.
A weekend in France, getting up at seven, la cueillette in the vineyards, and then cooking the jam that I bring home with me.
My grandmother always made gelée, but I like the crunchy seeds in the jam, and the little berries that fall off of my tartine.
I'm leaving for Sicily today! I can't wait.
See you in two weeks!
