Our first Moussaka

First we tried this greek version of our Italian ‘parmigiana’ on our visit to Cyprus  and it took us 2 years to find the courage to try to cook it. And seriously speaking it’s a very complicated dish. After two hours of frying potatoes for the first level of moussaka, frying aubergines for the second…

Sardinia. Traveling during COVID. Part I

Our first long trip after lockdown. As usual we’ve made only for the first couple of nights, have taken ferry tickets and the rest was left for destiny to decide. When you get off the boat in Olbia, you are immediately overwhelmed by the perfume of the elicriso, and the mix of other tens of…

Passo Stelvio

This trip can be done in one day but we decided to take it easy, spend the night in the mountains and visit some places of North-western part of Como Lake. We didn’t even wonder  how wild, windy and relaxing it is compared to the Southern part.  Area of Dongo – Domaso is a paradise…

Moving around Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a beautiful land for travelling, surfing and relaxation. Reach of history, buddist temples, tea fields, mountains and national parks. And the most impressive thing was how welcome local people are. Ladies on the street are smiling at you, men call you Sir and Madam, kids are asking your name and trying to…

Winter Spanish caravan

It’s 23rd December, time to leave for a winter ride to Spain. It’s an almost last minute decision, seen favorable meteo conditions and the need to ride the new mechanical horse: our Moto Guzzi V85TT. We hope to find the joyful spanish attitude to life, good food and wines, some sunny spots and to celebrate…

Cacciucco simplified

When you name Cacciucco the mind goes to fishermen coming back from a long day at sea needing a rich and tasty meal to conclude their day. Fish and sea fruits not sold on the market were taken home for a glorious soup. Here our simplified version. Squids, calamari, shrimps, langoustines, mussels and clams, white…

PASTA CHI VRUOCCOLI ARRIMINATI (sicilian)

Having sicillian origins one of us we decided to start our food section with typical and very little known dish. Sicilian recipe, mom’s and grandma’s one, is simple, when it’s not complex to make 🙂 and it gives a great result in your mouth. PROCEDURE: Bring the salted water to boiling and add your cauliflower….

Three weeks in USA National Parks and west coast. Part 2

Three weeks in USA National Parks and west coast. Part 1 Way to Las Vegas. Storm and ghosts at the mine. The most amusing thing about Americans is their creativity. On our way from Grand Canyon to Las Vegas we found ourselves moving directly into the eye of the storm. Our fellow bikers decided to…

Three weeks in USA National Parks and west coast. Part 1

Motorbike: Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Accomodation: the easiest way to find a roof in every part of America is a motel. We didn’t book anything in advance only in the most touristic places and National Parks although we could avoid it also. Food: isn’t really various, mostly sweet and fat. It’s not so easy to find…
