Italy from the Inside

Bru… what?

Bruschetta rucola e stracchino- Italy From The Inside

If you are Italian and live in the States, you have probably shivered every time you heard the word bruschetta during a commercial. Here’s the thing: in Italian the syllable “sche” is pronounced “ske”, so you have to say brusKetta.

However, to make it fair, just know that Italians, for example, pronounce the famous Colgate toothpaste as Colgut-ay.

That said, if you happen to have some stracchino or crescenza (a soft and creamy cheese unfortunately still hard to find in the States), try it on some toasted bread and top it off with rucola. Buona brusKetta a tutti.

A DIY tour of Sicily

To close the chapter on our tour of Sicily, I thought that it could be useful for you to have a summary of our itinerary, just in case you want to replicate our experience.

Since it took me quite a while to organize this trip, spending hours to research the best of Sicily, including places to stay and things to do, I think it is worthwhile to pass it all on to you, in case your dream is to go see this beautiful island and would like some guidance.

Obviously we had to make a selection and eliminate some important areas (such as the whole north-east section of the island. Sigh…). However, I still feel that we saw a lot considering the little time we had. Sicily is a big island, ideally you would need at least a month to visit it all with no rush.

So, here it is, I hope this can help!
