They were the sweetest people. They always had us over for dinner and gave us their leftovers from their garden. I miss them. No, I didn’t know them but my landlords were the Licandros.

I lived in San Pietro Clarenza too. I lived there for little over a year back in 2004 - 2005. On via Umberto on the far side of town. I used to go to Bar Somma all the time. Best food and coffee ever. I had a hard time living there but now I look back and kinda miss it. Small world. And I was just looking up raviola recipes. Oh my God! I lived in San Pietro Clarenza too.

I, too, lived in Italy (Siena) years ago and returned home kicking and screaming. Your photos are as beautiful as your recipes! I love your citrus salads and your step-by-step pics of sectioning them. I so wish blood oranges were easier to find in the US- they are so gorgeous. Great job on that photo!!

Our packout is happening in a week and there is sooooo much to do! The Secret Ingredient: Thanks for stopping by! You must get down to Sicily sometime, it's absolutely wonderful! And especially if you have family roots here! The coast near Agrigento is so beautiful and the wonderfully preserved Greek Temples there are amazing! Barbara: I'm glad you enjoyed them! I'm hoping to share more about Sicily soon! Sharon: That’s a good idea but unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to happen. Our packout is happening in a week and there is sooooo much to do!

I've lived in Italy and travelled all over, but never made it down to Sicily. I'm dying to go----especially since my family came from Porto Impedocle (near Agrigento). As a cook--- I love your recipes---and plan to make the pumpkin scones asap! Sad to leave Sicily---but I'm sure great things await back in the good ol' US of A. I'm sure I'll become a "regular" on this blog too. I just came across your blog—-it’s wonderful! I’ve lived in Italy and travelled all over, but never made it down to Sicily.

Simply explain Pinch My Salt web site. Advertise for the restaurant and voila! I know how persuasive you can be. In fact, why don't you ask if you can observe the chef preparing them?

You are right, I have many new adventures ahead of me regardless of where I live. I am trying to stop focusing so much on all the things I wish I would have done while I was here and remember all of the wonderful experiences I <i>did</i> have! And I plan on somehow, in between packing and cleaning, squeezing in a few more adventures during the next few weeks!
