My Sicilian Food Diary
Pretty Posts | TAMU'S CAFE
Unlike the states, our bank holidays here are the same calendar date every year, which means some years they magically fall on a weekend. The vacation gods were on our side this spring when two of them fell on a Wednesday and then the following Tuesday, equaling one big mega-long weekend. Realizing late in the game that our calendars were rather clear, my husband and I eagerly took the chance to head down to Sicily. Coming from a couple of months in Los Angeles being poured on every day (they say they hadn’t seen so much rain in 43 years) to the ever-so-famous incessant rain that is Milan, let’s just say I was not letting my husband (and my in-laws) win by going to the mountains for this vacation – where mind you it snowed. No, I wanted – scratch that – NEEDED to go to the beach. The California girl in me was screaming for some sand and surf. Naturally, when my husband suggested Sicily, I did not hesitate, because not only did that mean warm weather, but also some of the best Italian food in the country. And of course, I documented for you Pretty Birds all the yummy and typical Sicilian things we devoured.
