Delizioso! 😋 Love the poem and the Italian feast. In fact, I love all things Italian, including my husband, who hails from Puglia. We visited Sicily in 2018 and guess what? Loved it too! 😍
P.S. Thanks for voting on my Battle of the Bands. We could use a few more participants, if you’re interested.
Ciao! 🍷

Great to see you stopping by my site, Debbie, and leaving such an enthusiastic comment. I don’t know too many people who don’t like Italian food and the country itself. My parents were born in Sicily and I have relatives there in the Palermo area. It’s a wonderful place to visit (and live!).
Thanks for extending an invitation for your BOB. I’m taking the summer off from blogging any new music posts on my site so I can concentrate on writing. Perhaps we can revisit that idea after the summer.
Thanks again. Ciao!

Palermo is fabulous! 💖 We also enjoyed Catania, Mount Etna, and the lovely Taormina. No worries, BOTB will continue on, I think. I only do them once a month on the 1st, so it’s not a huge commitment. Fun though! Enjoy your summer of creativity. Hope to keep up with you via subscription. 🙂

I cannot dispute you on this one.
I do love Mediterranean food. And Asian food. And Moroccan food and. Well. I guess you can tell I love food.
Italian is always. ALWAYS at the top of my list.
