The good news about my trip to Sicily
is that it wasn’t all eating almond cookies
and cannoli, looking for parking spaces in Palermo (and paying one of the
fellows lurking about to keep an eye on the car), gorging on fresh ricotta, and
wiping and everything you possible can in generous drizzles of the amazing
olive oil produced there.
There was “pasta” – made from almond
paste, a plate that’d fool even those with sharper eyes than I. We had the
aforementioned spleen sandwiches, which I was relieved to hear were not made
from pancreas, and we ate salumi
(charcuterie) because it was so good that it would have felt like a crime not
to. (And I didn’t want to get into trouble in Sicily, if you know what I mean.)
Since I only had one week on the island – two days of which were travel days,
and two other days were dedicated to work that landed in my Inbox right before
the trip – we managed to make the time for a quick trip to Modica.
