Nestled between the slope of Mount Etna and the majestic Mediterranean Sea is where we enjoy the Sicilian Simplicity

Nicolosi: Etna Frutta
We made our way to the town of Nicolosi this morning to enjoy the "Fruit of Etna" festival.
Stand after stand of bright colors and sweet scents... There was so much to see!
We obviously left with our hands full!
A few of our goodies from the day!
Porcini mushrooms are everywhere this time of year. Those that grow under the chestnut tree are known to have the best flavor. We made sure to pick up a few... Once we got home we cleaned them up and put them right on the pan.

Hi - Your goodies look beautiful and delicious!! I have always wondered if the produce in Italy is organic...as you know here in the states it is laden with pesticides, unless it is labeled organic, and it is quite pricey.
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...

Towns around Mt. Etna
Take a trip around Mt.Etna and visit all the small towns along the way here. Relax and enjoy the scenery on the Ferrovia Circumetnea Train that travels around Mt. Etna.

Delicious and tasty, you are so lucky to have markets like that. I was only in Sicily for a week in 2006 and miss the markets there.
nice photos, I am visiting Nicolosi and Mt. Etna soon )
