"OGNI PROMESSA È DEBITO"


"In Sicily a promise is a debt" said a student of mine today as he handed me an enormous bag of fruit and vegetables. He is an agronomist and had said on Monday that he wanted me to taste some of his products. Now I am looking forward to a lovely, culinary weekend and I hope all of you have a good one, too.
