Love this: "There is never-ending content for a show about crap-happy Americans; behind every garage door lies a wasteland of the little-used and strewn about. And the Home Edit is now more than happy to sell you even more." Also, still sad we won't be joining you in Sicily on Easter. :(
I’m heading to northern Italy tomorrow! Wow, Sophie looks just like you ( beautiful)! I’m planning to have an aperol spritz first thing, and will definitely be looking for pistachio cake and marzipan. I recently discovered pistachio butter, which I love!
Did you know that the characteristic flavor of marzipan comes not from almonds but from apricot kernels or other nuts? Think about how almonds taste--not like marzipan.
Perhaps that is true in other countries, but in Sicily I can assure you that the flavor does in fact come from almonds, including bitter almonds which give it its distinctive flavor.
Italy has such wonderful scenery and charming towns and villages.
