Indulgence is Sweet

Another interesting town nearby is Mazara del Vallo which overtime has been dominated by Catharginians, Romans, Moors and Normans. Wandered around in warm sunshine looking at churches, other architecture and the ceramics. Lunch chez Mama, siesta and then a drive by the sea. On the way home we stopped by a wonderful cake shop and bought some "cannoli".
Crispy pastry open-ended tubes, stuffed with sweet ricotta. Very rich, full of calories but worth every one of them. Found this recipe on the web but haven't tried it (yet!). http://uktv.co.uk/food/recipe/aid/515414

And while some of us enjoyed the sun, others were hard at work preparing a fish couscous for tomorrow's lunch.
