First and most important, my pizza dough was excellent last night. We had a really fun pizza party with the family and some neighbors. I divided the dough into individual size pizza balls and everyone made a creative pizza. Phillip made a fire in the outside oven (very similar to the oven at farm one, but a little smaller) and we cooked them in the old fashion Sicilian way. The pizzas were delicious and all very different. I wish I could send pictures.
It is interesting that people drink very little in Italy. Practically no one (except me obviously) was drinking wine. If they did, it was only one or two very small glasses. I have to control myself so I do not look like a lush.
It is raining again in Sicily. We can’t pick oranges in the rain so we had a cleaning day. It makes a long day when you cannot work the fields. I cleaned the workshop where we sort and crate the oranges and lemons. The remainder of the day was reading or playing more Solitaire (I won again). I hope this rain stops so we can enjoy the countryside again while we are picking the oranges and working the vegetable garden.
My day off is on Thursday, so I am planning a trip to Taormina. The city is supposed to be beautiful. I was hoping to hike Mt. Etna; perhaps next week when it stops raining. It has to stop some time???
Hopefully I will have more tomorrow. Ciao for now
