It’s a slow start to spring this year in Sardinia. Rather cold and windy too. This time last year we were basking on the beach, this year, I’m wrapped up in two sweaters, a scarf and furry slippers!
Here’s hoping the heat breaks on though, soon.
How is spring shaping up in your neck of the woods?
The festival of San Simplicio is an annual event held in Olbia, Italy. Attracting thousands of tourists and locals alike. The festival is in honour of the Patron Saint, San Simplicio and is one of the most important religious festivals in Sardinia.
Spectacular performances on horseback are the norm of this tournament. This is defiantly a tournament of speed, agility, strength and courage.
Will you visit Sardinia?
Nuraghe Paddaggiu was arranged in the Nuragic age between 1900-730 BC and is now a symbol of Sardinia. There remains over 2500 Nuraghe scattered throughout this island paradise.
Nuraghe Paddaggiu is located just outside Castlesardo in Northern Sardinia. It has been neatly arranged by some of the strongest men and women in the Sardinian culture, as a religious temple, military stronghold, deterrent for possible enemies, and ordinary home dwellings.
I couldn’t decide between these two photos. I’m impartial to the second, I love the road veering left, then the strong fortress of the Nuraghe to the right. Everything over time, perfectly arranged.
Can you see the moon? Puo vedere la luna?
Here is something I wish I could be part of. However, Cagliari is a three-hour drive for me, and I don’t drive. I hope by sharing this message of freedom that more people will be inclined to show up in support for Rossella Urru.

Roughly 5 million tons of horse meat is consumed yearly by these 8 countries.
In December 2011 American president Obama lifted a five-year ban on horse slaughter. Bringing a once taboo food to the tables of Americans. 70% of Americans oppose horse slaughter, will this lift bring nourishment and good proteins to many starving Americans? Only time will tell.
Today marks 152 Days without your freedom.
Today you will spend your 30th birthday in captivity, in the hands of terrorists, in the eyes of uncertainty.
My hope for you Rossella is that you find a moment of peace, within yourself, to gather the courage to keep fighting this lengthy fight.
Your family, friends and strangers from around the world salute you.
Raise your glass for the women and men who have come before us, raise your glass to the women and men fighting the good fight in the hands of terrorists.
Buon Compleanno beautiful woman. My thoughts and wishes sail across the ocean and into your heart.
I always thought tomato sauce came from a can, jar or my Mother’s kitchen. It never occured to me that people took the time to make this savoury sauce from scratch and not poured from a can. I can proudly say that I have finally mastered the fine art of Italian tomato sauce, and with all good Italian things, one requires patience and persistence.
If this is your first time making tomato sauce, I wish you luck and I hope my step-by-step photo guide helps.
I love Italian cooking and eating. I am a Canadian, who learned the fine art of Italian tomato sauce by trial and error, and a lot of questions. And this is what I came up with, I hope you enjoy.
