A "Sicilian" day at the market...buying my supplies to discover new recipes!
Fresh garlic,tomatoes and onions, fresh herbs from my patio basket. Good Olive Oil. Wedge of Parmesan. Chunk of Feta. Fresh loaf of Italian bread. Italian Sweet Sausages. Zucchini. Eggplant. Lemons. Peppers. Green Olives. Figs and Honey. Chocolate Mini-Eclairs. Pistachios. Sea Salt. Prosciutto.
I have Oregano Honey (to try) and A Black Truffle on the way (direct from Sicily)
So whether it is a small anti-pasto
Or a Mediterranean Dinner Plate
Complete with home-made, refreshing, frozen Lemon Granita
I've got this!
Put some traditional Sicilian Folk music on in the background

Fried peppers and zucchini with Italian sausage and Parmesan (large grate) and a handful of fresh herbs.Fixed flat bread with Rosemary and oregano in olive oil and fresh Parmesan.
The kitchen sounded, looked and smelled like a trattoria!
I enjoy the total immersion approach to virtual travel and have ordered a cookbook
Also found this at my local library.
A new book by the prominent Sicilian Author: Andrea Camilleri
continuing the Salvo Montelbano Detective Series, which I am now reading.
The detective has actually been transformed into a very popular television show in Europe.
I am not sure, yet,if I can access this in The States.If so,I would love to see what they have done with it.
