...to get a post. Today in the Altro Posto I espied this lovely torta alla strega [Strega liqueur cake]. I wanted to sample it only in the interests of blogging, you understand! I'd like to be able to tell you that the little flower was a sugar one, but alas, it was plastic. Nevertheless, I thought the cake looked very pretty, so imagine my horror when I looked up and saw that the staff were taking the flowers off and throwing them away! At dessert time they all fell about laughing when I said, "I'm not having any of that unless you put a flower back on it, even if it's out of the bin - I need it for a photo for my blog." Reader, if they only thought I was mad before, they are convinced of it now!

I, for one, am delighted that you see fit to sample these things for us. The posts are wonderful.
I'm glad there's someone else in the world as mad as I am! That dessert looks delicious, flower and all!
I'm a great lover of Italian food, and love that country. I've often been tempted to visit Sicily. Your blog looks super.
Thanks, James. Hi, Lee: "Mad hatters, unite!" say I. Jean-Luc, you are very kind. Thank you. If you love Italian food, you should definitely visit Sicily.
You are a woman after my own heart: you will go to any lengths for the sake of your blog. Thank you!
