Fresh asparagus. Yummy. Were they cultivated or wild?
It is wild asparagus, but could I say wildly cultivated? They grow on the edges of the garden, every year more pops up! We cut only the little tender sprouts and the tougher, bigger stalks make more. There is absolutely no maintenance and they are so very tasty!!
I have been carried away to a world that stops to taste the sweetness of the land, and admire all the treasures that their rich black soil provides. Now my journey begins as we enjoy the simple pleasures of the life! We came from different worlds, spoke different languages, but that didn’t stop us. We have our home in Sicily, and many adventures await us. Sicilia is our home!
Sailing across the Gulf of Mexico, I had the pleasure of meeting the most amazing man. Little did I know that he would eventually become the love of my life and would change my world. We were both working aboard a cruise line at the time. He, an Italian Engineer, and I, the featured headlining Vocalist, met at a crew party and the rest is history. Our beginning...
