<description><![CDATA[Many of my fondest memories in the U.S. were spent in cars. Going to movies or parties with friends]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Many of my fondest memories in the U.S. were spent in cars. Going to movies or parties with friends, awkward drives on dates, road trips to the Twin Cities or Des Moines to see a concert or go shopping, singing to tapes I had pre-recorded while heading out for weekend visits with friends or family in other states, happily argueing with my brother in the back seat of a mini van during cross-country family vacation treks (we were the tame Griswolds) .</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/nnm_JED6H7Y'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/nnm_JED6H7Y&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>When I call home or surf the Internet, I am constantly reminded that people are now thinking twice about the frequency of these trips because of the ever-increasing gas prices. I even noticed the other day that the media is starting to promote 'staycations' where you take your time off work and relax in the comfort of your own home or area. Here is an example from Wisconsin:</p>
<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/3tj9CgfDEAA'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/3tj9CgfDEAA&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>As I see it from Italy, although a few years ago drivers in America really had it made, it could be worse. You could have to buy gas here.</p>
<p>As long as I've lived here, Italy's gas prices have been lots higher than U.S. gas prices. The last time I was at the gas station the cost was around Euro 1.50 per liter. Considering that there are 3.8 liters in a gallon, that's Euro 5.70 per gallon. Now we have to convert Euros to Dollars. As I write this, on <a href="http://www.xe.com">www.xe.com</a> the current exchange rate is 1 Euro =  $1.55903.</p>
<p>So right now, a gallon of gas in Italy costs about $8.89. Or your firstborn child.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-28" src="http://bohitaly.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_2246_2_1.jpg" alt="The Italian pumping gas" width="426" height="319" /></p>
<p><em>The Italian oh-so-happily filling up our tank</em></p>
<p>Smaller cars and scooters are obviously popular here. Not just for parking on narrow streets and in cities, but for mileage. My personal favorite that I see used in some rural areas is the <a href="http://www.italiannotebook.com/images/apino2.jpg">Ape</a> (translation: bee). I want one! Italians were heavily buying diesel-fueled cars until recently because diesel used to cost significantly less than gasoline. Now they are about the same.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-27" src="http://bohitaly.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/gas-diesel.gif?w=180" alt="pump" width="180" height="130" /></p>
<p>Italy does have something in it's favor.  Public transportation. There are trains that run to every corner of Italy, and if there is not a train station nearby, you can usually get there by bus. Or by boat. Or tram. Even small towns in the middle of nowhere have a bus that will pass eventually. There are many people here who have never tried to get their drivers license or have taken their drivers test later on (the legal age for a 'car' license is eighteen) because they really haven't needed it.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-30" src="http://bohitaly.wordpress.com/files/2008/06/img_2222_1_11.jpg" alt="Guy filling up" width="426" height="319" /></p>
<p><em>Guy filling up his Smart car at our local gas station (maybe going to a P-Diddy party?)</em></p>
<p>Sure, the trains are sometimes full. The buses are sometimes old. But they get you where you need to go.  And there have been vast improvements recently as far as quality is concerned.</p>
<p>I remember living in a small town called <a title="Sezze" href="http://www.sezzeromano.it/sezzeromano.htm">Sezze</a>, south of Rome, for a few months during my first year here. The town on a small mountain was famous for its bountiful <a title="carciofi festival" href="http://www.setino.it/Manifestazioni/Carciofo/Sagra2004/P4182506-p.jpg">carciofi</a> (artichokes) festival. I was teaching English in Rome and it took me an hour by train to get there, but first I had to take a small orange bus from the town down to the train station at the foot of the mountain. The bus was usually filled with little old ladies for some reason and, as we took the first curve of the ten-minute ride down the mountain, I noticed that all of these ladies were making the sign of the cross. How odd, I thought, looking around. Are we in danger? The next day I figured out that there was a little <a title="altarino" href="http://www.sezzeromano.it/sezzesottoscalaconaltarino.jpg">altarino</a> (tiny religious shrine) built into the side of the mountain after that first curve.</p>
<p>I like to think that they were praying that cars would start running on artichokes.</p>

<p>Questo è un piatto davvero molto buono che prepara mia mamma ... qualche volta l'ho preparato anche io, ma come lo fa lei ...</p>
<p>La foto, oltre alla presentazione, non sono  delle migliori, non sapevo prorpio dove e come metterli per "immortalarli"...</p>
<p>Comunque l'importante è che sono davvero molto buoni!!!</p>
<p><strong>carciofi grandi</strong></p>
<p><strong>macinato di manzo</strong></p>
<p><strong>uova</strong></p>
<p><strong>mollica di pane raffermo</strong></p>
<p><strong>prezzemolo</strong></p>
<p><strong>parmigiano grattugiato</strong></p>
<p><strong>pepe ( se gradito)</strong></p>
<p><strong>olio extravergine di oliva</strong></p>
<p><strong>pomodori pelati</strong></p>
<p><strong>passata di pomodoro</strong></p>
<p><strong>cipolla</strong></p>
<p><strong>farina</strong></p>
<p>inoltre</p>
<p><strong>limone</strong></p>
<p><strong></strong></p>
<p><em>Pulire i carciofi eliminando le foglie più dure e la barba all'interno; tagliare la punta delle foglie interne  se qualcuna dovesse risultare ancora dura ed immergerli nell'acqua acidulata con il succo di limone.</em></p>
<p><em>Preparare il ripieno:</em></p>
<p><em>in una ciotola riunire la carne, le uova, la mollica sbriciolata di pane raffermo, il prezzemolo tritato, il sale ed il  pepe ; amalgamere tutti gli ingredienti e farcire i carciofi ; I</em><em>nfarinare la testa  ed immergerla nell'uovo sbattuto.</em></p>
<p><em>In una padella capiente riscaldare l'olio e rosolare leggermente la cipolla, inserire i carciofi a testa in giù facendoli dorare e successivamente girarli per farli rosolare su tutte le parti; </em><em>toglierli dalla casseruola e metterli da parte; aggiungere al fondo pomodori pelati schiacciati e la passata in quantità  tale da risucire a coprire i carciofi che inseriremo quando il sugo comincerà a bollire.</em></p>
<p><em>Cuocere per circa un'ora o almeno fino a quando non sono diventati teneri.</em></p>
<p><em>PS</em></p>
<p><em>noi con il sugo condiamo la pasta... una delizia!!!</em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://pulcii.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/involtini-tofu.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-156" src="http://pulcii.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/involtini-tofu.jpg?w=420" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>l'altro giorno durante la mia solita razzia del mese al biologico, ho comprato un sacco di tofu tra cui questo in fogli miracolosamente in offerta!oggi l'ho provato ed è davvero buono, ha un pò l'aspetto da sottiletta ma per fortuna solo quello, non è nè viscido nè plasticoso!</p>
<p>questi involtini sono facilissimi e se si tagliano ogni due tre cm diventano dei 'sushini' di tofu carinissimi...</p>
<p>per il ripieno si può usare quello che si ha in frigo, io non vario più di tanto di questa stagione poi non è che ci siano molte novitè verdurifere..porro verza cipolline(quelle nuove buonissime!!) carote germogli di lenticchie(fatti dalla sottoscritta e se riesco a farli germogliare io i questo gelo di casa vergogna a chi non lo fa!)un pò di soia e semi di girasole. ancora meglio se il foglio di tofu si spalma leggermente di senape sul lato interno, ma non troppo o coprirà tutto.</p>
<p>un altra cosa molto buona, anzi molto molto buona per essere una semplice pastasciutta, ma degna di menzione, è questa pasta  ai carciofi e porro:<a href="http://pulcii.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/pasta-carciofi-porro.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-157" src="http://pulcii.wordpress.com/files/2008/04/pasta-carciofi-porro.jpg?w=420" alt="" width="420" height="315" /></a></p>
<p>altra verdura che impazza ora sono i carciofi che compri perchè ti fanno gola ma poi oltre ai soliti carciofini in padella non ne esce fuori nulla! e sono proprio i carciofi in padella che il mio frigo ingurgita in questi giorni la chicca di questa pasta!</p>
<p>non li potevo più vedere per cui li ho frullati, così interi con del tofu di quello morbido ( e un pò gelatinoso che fa tanto uovo strapazzato, però molto più saporito degli altri), delle olive taggiasche, e forse dei germogli,sale,  frullato tutto e poi passato con il passino per togliere le foglie ribelli dei carciofi. si fa saltare il porro con un pò d'olio e una volta pronto si aggiunge la salsa di carciofi. la pasta era integrale, dettaglio da non sottovalutare per una  perfetta riuscita e che io tra l'altro adoro!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What is there to say about Italy that hasn't been said before?</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2370459281/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Roma" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3225/2370459281_02e3df4921.jpg" alt="Roma" align="middle" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>Let's be honest. Not much.  Italy is a beautiful cliché.  But, since saying, "I have nothing to say because it's all been said before," makes me a lazy writer, I'm going to give it a go.</p>

<p>Italy is gorgeous.  No, really it is.  It takes your breath away.  The <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368961019/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">sky</a>.

We were in Florence, where they detonated an oxen cart packed full of fireworks in front of <a href="http://www.duomofirenze.it/index-eng.htm" target="_blank">the Duomo</a>.  The detonations went off for 15 minutes, ricocheting and echoing off all the stone, until we felt like we were in a WWII battle.  By the end our faces were covered in ash.  It was very cool.</p>

<p>That said, never fly into Rome on Palm Sunday.  You have been warned.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368062881/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Absurd" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2379/2368062881_6c27dd3951.jpg" alt="Absurd" align="middle" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>Italian cars are gorgeous and Italian drivers are insane.  We rented a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Forfour" target="_blank">Smart ForFour</a>.  I loved it.  It's teeny tiny on the outside, but feels like a normal-sized car when you're in it. Isaac said it handled well, it got great gas mileage and had pretty good giddyup.  Regardless, it was <i>no</i> contest for nearly everything else on the Autostrade.  Some of the cars that passed us were going so fast they produced <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect" target="_blank">doppler effects</a>.  They were usually Audis for some reason.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2370448275/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Roma" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3192/2370448275_11d57622dd.jpg" alt="Roma" align="middle" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>Archaeological sites are more interesting to the archaeologists.  I studied <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etruscan_civilization" target="_blank">Etruscan</a> archeology in college.  Unfortunately, it's been a long time since my sophomore year; I've forgotten almost everything I once knew.  This makes walking around <a href="http://www.parchivaldicornia.it/parco.php?codex=bart-gen" target="_blank">an old Etruscan city</a> little more than walking around and looking at a pile of rocks.  But, stalking wild asparagus while glancing at those old rocks is really fun!  So is stumbling on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368953853/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">gaudy green lizards</a> and breathtaking views of the sea while worrying about being charged by a wild boar and peeking into <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2369793812/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">old graves cut into solid rock</a>.  I'm sure you will agree that it was all very Indiana Jones.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2369767774/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Run Away!" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2402/2369767774_fae61298ee.jpg" alt="Run Away!" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Pizza.  The pizza I remember from my trip to Italy 15 or so years ago doesn't seem to exist anymore.  It was thick and doughy with a schmear of intense tomato sauce and a sprinkling of crispy cheese.  I <i>loved </i>it.  I could buy it on every street corner and I was happy.  Alas, it has been supplanted by <i>wurstel</i> carts and paper thin, hyper-crispy pies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368808634/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Central Market, Florence" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/2368808634_bb02322813.jpg" alt="Central Market, Florence" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The absolute best I had was in San Gemini, the speck of a hill town in Umbria where we spent our first week.  I can't tell you the name of the place (I don't think it had one), but I can tell you it wasn't Happy Pizza and that it's on the main drag.  Seriously, it's worth stopping if you have to drive past the town.  It was extraordinary.  The plain slice was covered in the thinnest whisper of milky fresh mozzarella and delicious sauce.  Remembering the mushroom slice, with specks of sausage and a flurry of pecorino is enough to bring tears to my eyes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368067825/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Assisi" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2209/2368067825_b967fbd0a3.jpg" alt="Assisi" align="middle" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>Also worth mentioning: a slice Isaac got at the Antico Forno dei Serpenti, a bread and pastry shop near the intersection of the Via dei Serpenti and the Via Panisperna.  The slice, a sliver of focaccia topped with olive oil, fresh basil and prefect, oozing, hopefully <a href="http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2008/03/buffalo-mozzarella-dioxin-scare-and-american-made-buffalo-mozzarella.html" target="_blank">dioxin-free fresh buffalo mozzarella</a>, was perfection.  The one bite I got made me sing and hum with happiness.  All pizza should do that.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2369760724/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Art, Florence" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2161/2369760724_29965b3458.jpg" alt="Art, Florence" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I found eating in Italy more difficult than I would have imagined; there are so many rules and different classes of restaurants, and it's so easy to be duped by a nasty, tourist-trap <i>trattoria </i>masquerading as an honest, delicious, seasonally-driven neighborhood <i>osteria</i>, and it soon became obvious that I'm not quite as familiar with Italian food terms as I had thought I was.  But, don't cry for me just yet.  Because despite all these roadblocks, we managed to eat <i>very </i>well.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368829936/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Flower" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3116/2368829936_95258c0348.jpg" alt="Flower" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>In Umbria, my step-dad decided to hire the cook offered with the house so there would be no arguing about where to go for dinner or who should cook each night.  This was a very wise choice.  Daniella's cooking is <i>extraordinary</i>.  I've never eaten so well, so consistently, in my entire life (sorry Mom!).  On fresh cheese crostini arugula leaves were <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368048135/" target="_blank">pushed into the cheese like the design on a filigree brooch</a>.  It was beautiful and tasty, as was the lamb stew with olives, <i>gnocchi con salvia e burro</i>, fresh local catfish in puttanesca sauce, fried squash blossoms, local cheese with truffle honey and oh, the homemade tiramisu.  All of them, delicious.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2371285164/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="The Pantheon" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3030/2371285164_25e2733565.jpg" alt="The Pantheon" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>One night she also made me artichokes in the Roman-Jewish style, because, yes, that's right, March is <i>carciofi</i> season in Italy.  I ate as many of them as I could everywhere we went.  I had them raw, sliced paper-thin over a salad of arugula and parmigiano cheese at a <a href="http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/timeless-florence" target="_blank">wonderful neighborhood</a> <a href="http://www.slowtrav.com/italy/restaurants/review.asp?a=y&#38;n=trattoria+del+carmine&#38;s=oltrarno%2Fsan+frediano" target="_blank">trattoria</a> in the Oltrarno in Florence, where I also had them tossed with a delicious, flaky white fish and farfalle.  I had them poached and served with a tangy, zippy <i>salsa verde</i> with tarragon at Florence's central market from <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368813278/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">the <i>trippa</i> stand</a>.  I had them on pizza and as an <i>antipasti</i> more time than I can count.  In short, I ate so many <i>carciofi</i> in 12 days that I think I may be turning a little bit green.  It was heaven.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2367991655/" title="Vegetale" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2367991655_64e602a12b.jpg" alt="Vegetale" align="middle" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>I didn't have any in Rome though.  Rome was the toughest city to eat in.  We couldn't find any restaurants with daily specials (this is my new rule of thumb to ensure that the restaurant is buying produce based on the season), but we did stumble upon a <a href="http://www.tempiodimecenate.it/" target="_blank">Sardinian ristorante</a> who's menu had a notation that I wish every restaurant in the world should be forced to adopt.  They used an asterisk to let you know which proteins were being cooked from the freezer.  For example: Scampi* ai Ferri o a Piacare?  *Frozen.  Scallopine al Vino o al Limone?  Not frozen (and in case you were wondering, crazy delicious).</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2371273396/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="The Coliseum" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3153/2371273396_5d513d14e3.jpg" alt="The Coliseum" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>The restaurant also happened to be next door to the only place in Italy where we got good bread, <a href="http://www.davidhewson.com/2007/09/30/the-art-of-roman-bread/" target="_blank">Panella</a>.  Wait, what?  Bad bread? In Italy?  Oh yes my friends.  I always thought that Italian bread would be amazing, but at least in the parts of Umbria and Tuscany that we travelled through, the bread is not so <i>bene</i>.  Apparently some folk way back in the 15th century got into a fight with a Pope about salt taxes, and ever since, no salt goes into the bread.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2367976083/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Central Market, Florence" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3228/2367976083_8a013f13bd.jpg" alt="Central Market, Florence" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Can you imagine? 600 years of unsalted bread?  One of our guidebooks tried to make the claim that the lack of salt makes the bread bland and unassuming, the perfect foil to all of the regions' spectacular culinary specialties; the cured meats, the cheeses, the truffles, the olive oils!  Good try guys, but no salt in bread just makes it boring with bad crust.  I'm all for traditions, but people, you're only hurting yourselves!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368875206/" title="Tuckered, Orvieto" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2219/2368875206_35c82ed332.jpg" alt="Tuckered, Orvieto" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>And finally, walking.  We did a lot of this.  Going to the hilltowns of Italy with a man obsessed with climbing hills is an amazing way to lose five pounds while eating every ort of each multi-course dinner for 12 nights.  We climbed every damn hill we could set foot on.  We climbed to the top of <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368900234/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">Assisi</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368896228/" target="_blank">Perugia</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368117303/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">Orte</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368956732/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">Narni</a> (yes, it used to be named Narnia), and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368035769/" target="_blank">Orvieto</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368833512/" target="_blank">San Gemini</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368126409/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">Montelpuciano</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368945121/" target="_blank">Piombino</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2369788454/in/set-72157604286567403/" target="_blank">Populonia</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368929797/" target="_blank">Florence</a>, and <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2371289162/" target="_blank">Rome</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2382029561/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Rainbow, Tuscany" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2258/2382029561_c0aaeba85d.jpg" alt="Rainbow, Tuscany" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>Assisi and Narni were the most difficult, and therefore most rewarding, but it was our first day in Rome that nearly broke me.  I'm pretty good at getting a bead on a city, but Rome still eludes me.  Rome felt very much to me like New York must feel to thousands of people; dazzling, dizzying, confusing, loud, dirty, grey, cold, exhilarating, spectacular and heavenly all at once.  Two days were not enough.  We saw all the greatest hits, but kept getting lost (in a bad way) which made it difficult to really get a feel for the town.  I must go back.</p>
<p><a href="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2370452765_4cfd297e26.jpg" title="Angel, Seagulls" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2370452765_4cfd297e26.jpg" alt="Angel" align="middle" height="500" width="375" /></a></p>
<p>Since I've been back, everyone I know has asked, rather logically, "So, how was Italy?"  It seems like a simple question with a predictable answer, but I can tell from the way their faces fall that there's something amiss when I answer, "Not bad."</p>
<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/martine266/2368119015/in/set-72157604286567403/" title="Me" target="_blank"><img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2004/2368119015_bfafda7be8.jpg" alt="Me" align="middle" height="375" width="500" /></a></p>
<p>I'm torn about our trip to Italy.  Obviously, I loved it, I mean, I've already prattled on for over 1,400 words about it, but at the same time, I didn't come back as relaxed and annoyingly enthusiastic as I did from our trip to Croatia.  I'd go back in a heartbeat, of course, but like so many others before me, I didn't leave my heart there.</p>
<p>My heart's still on <a href="http://achickenineverygrannycart.wordpress.com/2006/05/18/cuisine-dalmatian-coast-croatia/" target="_blank">Hvar</a>.</p>

<p>Tra le nebbie che circondano le isole della Laguna veneziana, ad inizio aprile, avviene un miracolo. Che ha il sapore di un rito antico: la <i>castraura</i> del <b><a href="http://www.carciofosanterasmo.it">carciofo violetto di Sant’Erasmo</a></b>. Si tratta dei primi fiori nati dalle ghiotte piante nutrite di terra salmastra, e saporitissimi, che vengono castrati alla nascita e rappresentano una meraviglia di bontà. Sono piccoli e preziosi come cuccioli di carciofo. Ottimi da mangiare crudi, superlativi nel risotto, stupendi in qualsiasi modo. Dopo aver tagliato il primo fiore, la pianta riesce a produrre altri 18-20 carciofi che si chiamano botoi. Non è comodissimo andare a <a href="http://www.turismovenezia.it/dynalay.asp?PAGINA=2061">Sant’Erasmo</a>, ma le castrature si possono acquistare al <b>mercato di Rialto</b>. Costano un po’, ma ne vale la pena.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="center"><b>DI PABLO NERUDA<br />
</b></p>
<p align="center"><i>Il carciofo dal tenero cuore si vestì da guerriero,<br />
ispida edificò una piccola cupola,<br />
si mantenne all'asciutto sotto le sue squame,<br />
vicino al lui i vegetali impazziti si arricciarono,<br />
divennero viticci,<br />
infiorescenze commoventi rizomi;<br />
sotterranea dormì la carota dai baffi rossi,<br />
la vigna inaridì i suoi rami dai quali sale il vino,<br />
la verza si mise a provar gonne,<br />
l'origano a profumare il mondo,<br />
e il dolce carciofo lì nell'orto vestito da guerriero,<br />
brunito come bomba a mano,<br />
orgoglioso,<br />
e un bel giorno,<br />
a ranghi serrati,<br />
in grandi canestri di vimini,<br />
marciò verso il mercato a realizzare il suo sogno:<br />
la milizia.<br />
Nei filari mai fu così marziale come al mercato,<br />
gli uomini in mezzo ai legumi coi bianchi spolverini erano i generali dei carciofi,<br />
file compatte,<br />
voci di comando e la detonazione di una cassetta che cade,<br />
ma allora arriva Maria col suo paniere,<br />
sceglie un carciofo,<br />
non lo teme,<br />
lo esamina,<br />
l'osserva contro luce come se fosse un uovo,<br />
lo compra,<br />
lo confonde nella sua borsa con un paio di scarpe,<br />
con un cavolo e una bottiglia di aceto finché,<br />
entrando in cucina,<br />
lo tuffa nella pentola.<br />
Così finisce in pace la carriera del vegetale armato che si chiama carciofo,<br />
poi squama per squama spogliamo la delizia e mangiamo la pacifica pasta<br />
del suo cuore verde.</i></p>

<p>Lo chiamavano il Marchesino pittore. E infatti era sia marchese che pittore. E anche poeta. <b>Filippo De Pisis</b> (1896-1956) è stato uno degli artisti meno omologati del Novecento. E ha seguito la sua poetica con assoluta indipenenza rispetto alle mode, alle scuole, ai temi e ai proclami. Il suo stile è quello di una tardo impressionismo energizzato, con una pennellata vivicissima, e spesso fremente. I suoi soggetti preferiti: i ragazzi (militari, marinai, garzoni e tutto l'immaginario omo del tempo), pesci, frutta e verdura. Compreso il carciofo. Ma anche paesaggi urbani di Parigi e Venezia, strade che sembrano un Utrillo aggiornato. Per saperne di più: <a href="http://www.filippodepisis.org">filippodepisis.org</a></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify"> ovvero: come scopiazzare una ricetta della knorr che si potrebbe realizzare in 5 minuti, mettendoci 2 ore, e ottenendo qualcosa che non è nemmeno altrettanto buono.</p>
<p><a href="http://cinciamogia.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/zuppa.jpg" title="cincia_vs_knorr"><img src="http://cinciamogia.wordpress.com/files/2008/03/zuppa.jpg" alt="cincia_vs_knorr" /></a></p>
<p align="justify">La knorr fa la crema di carciofi, liofilizzata in busta: basta aggiungere acqua, mescolare ben bene e far cuocere 5 minuti. Ma perchè rinunciare a complicarsi la vita? In un accesso di autolesionismo, me la faccio da me.<br />
Questa la procedura: fare un soffrittino di cipolla e olio, quando la cipolla è colorita metterci un tot di carciofi ben puliti tagliati a pezzettini piccoli (ben puliti: anche se poi si usa il minipimer, come da legge di Murphy, il commensale più menoso troverà la parte fibrosa di cui il minipimer non ha avuto ragione). Usate se volete  i cuori di carciofo surgelati, si fa prima, o un misto tra i due (freschi e surgelati). Quanti? Boh. Si fa a occhio. Un po'. Aggiungere qualche patata a pezzettini (ne ho messe tre piccole, con due carciofi freschi e cinque cuori surgelati), coprite d'acqua, mettete un po' di sale e fatevi gli affari vostri per un'oretta, guardando ogni tanto che la zuppa non diventi un ammasso carbonizzato (fuoco basso, e reintegrate un po' d'acqua ogni tanto). Quando il tutto diventa un pastocco grigiastro molliccio (vi ho messo appetito, eh?), spegnete e frullate col minipimer (è consigliabile far passare una decina di minuti); quando il tutto sarà cremoso a dovere, spruzzatina di pepe, ed è fatta.<br />
Quella della knorr viene un po' più verdina, non ci si sporcano le mani a pulire i carciofi, ci si mette di meno, ma insomma bisognerà trovare qualche modo autolesionistico di passare la domenica pomeriggio oltre a stirare!</p>

<p><b>Procedimento Impasto:</b><br />
Lava e fai bollire i carciofi in molta acqua già bollente per circa 20 minuti.<br />
Scolali, tagliali eliminando il fieno*.<br />
Prepara un ‘impasto con le uova, il formaggio grattato, la ricotta e due pizzichi di sale.<br />
Aggiungi i carciofi.<br />
Disponi la pasta sfoglia con un po’ di carta da forno nella teglia.<br />
Versaci sopra l’impasto e stendilo fino ai bordi.<br />
Ripiega il bordo della pasta sfoglia in modo da creare una cornice alla torta.<br />
Inforna per circa 20 minuti.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">*<i>(fieno = parte centrale con la barbetta del carciofo)</i></p>
<p><b>Postilla:</b><br />
Al momento nessuna.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Nelle presentazioni precedenti vi avevo parlato di quante cose buone avevo mangiato nell'ultimo viaggio fatto a Palermo,ed oggi mentre scorrevo le foto sul cell, ho notato con grave disappunto che ne avevo omesso una...<br />
Ora, si tratta di qualcosa di divino  che mio padre prepara quando gli ingredienti lo permettono.<br />
Nella fattispecie, si tratta della Frittata di Carciofi...<br />
Adesso non sto qui a parlarvene, perchè non voglio tornare a raccontarvi nuovamente quanto sia buona,<br />
però vi invito almeno una volta nella vita a provarla...</p>
