By the time you read this, I will be back in Sicily. This time I’m staying 18 days and really hoping to get some work done on the house. First, however, we need to get hot water - and - we need a mattress. Once those things are in place, we can stay there. Then we need a stove. We already have a refrigerator - un frigorifero - as you may remember from this post: Refrigerator Joy.
It is Italy, however, and things move slowly. Buying a mattress is one thing - providing they are in stock - but establishing an account for propane and then having it delivered … that could take a while.
Meanwhile, I was delighted to discover I’m just in time for the spaghetti harvest. Who knew?
A presto!
More soon. :)
I think it is tremendous that the BBC documented this little known vernacular harvesting practice. You are fortunate to be there to experience this seasonal ritual.
Good luck with the house. I really enjoyed the video!
