sicily and a long time missing

So...
In Catania in Sicily, with a bit of time so I thought it was worth doing a bt.  No real reason for not, just busy and uninspired.

Since I last updated I've been to Boston, Madrid, Melbourne, Sydney and Cologne.  All good, from a food point of view Melbourne was the stand out especially Rice, Paper, Scissors

Sydney was a lot of cooking in for the family,  Madrid, Boston and Cologne are all places I've been a lot, so while we always find new places

Never been to Sicily before and not in Italy that often, so new adventure.  Weather in May / June is fantastic, Catania is a bit run down in places, but expected, as it is a large poor industrial city - my sort of place, staying in a lovely apartment, so eating in and out, which is always our favourite.











From the lovely doughnuts brought to us by the renter on the first morning, the huge arancini, perfect fried fish and the great produce from the market food is superb.

Plan on cooking prawns in tomato sauce and pasta tonight, will be going to fish market to look for some shortly.  Need a bit more fruit, cherries are particularly good, pears, apples, persimmons, strawberries.....

Might even try and update this now and again, when time permits.  Still working, going to gym and feeling great
