WHAT A BLOGGER WILL DO...


...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'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.
