Let's go on VACATION & leave the dog at a TRAIN STATION

Italians go on vacation every year. It is a must, when you live the wonderful country of Italy--but one thing that is not a good idea is how Italians abandon some 14,000 dogs. AIDAA-an Animal Rights group stated that there are around 600,000 stray dogs in Italy today. So a word to advice for Italians planning on going on vacation this summer: It is the 21st century there are hotels,villas and beaches that are animal friendly..........

Pastiera Napoletana

Even the easter bunny is jealous of this pie! It's a speciality for people from Naples to make this dessert "pie" with ricotta cheese, grains, and sugar... It is usually made the Thursday before Good Friday and enjoyed up to Easter. It's very very good :).. you most likely can google the recipe!!!!

Buona Pasqua

Chocolate Easter EGGS? Uova di pasqua

It's Easter time again, and the Italians really know how to treat the little ones!!! Every Easter, instead of Easter Baskets we get GIANT CHOCOLATE EGGS. They are amazing. You crack them and inside there is a treat, it either is a necklace, or a very difficult puzzle you need to put together or my favorite MORE candy inside like the Perugina Baci!!! You can buy one at your nearest Caputo's.
