Warmest greetings from very cold Denmark! Copenhagen (København), to be exact. It is most certainly not spring here as it was -2 degrees celcius this morning and random patches of snow are scattered about hidden from the sun's rays. I hope to sample the local fare but right now am going on 14 hours of work with a few more to go... yikes!
At the very least, I'd like to see the Little Mermaid (la petite sirenne in French, lille havfrue in Danish) statue. You have to cross the water by jumping from stone to stone to reach her. I'll keep you posted...

What are you doing freezing in Denmark when the weather here is so gorgeous? You've got to get back here to the sun, while it lasts!

Hi Laura! If there's any info you need on Copenhagen, drop me a line - it's not like I know everything, but I do live here! And just so you won't be disappointed - she's a lot smaller than you think!;-)

This has NOTHING to do with this entry, but, as you appear to have grown up with some of the Neapolitan dialect version of Italian (at least where food is concerned) that I did, I thought you might know.
There's a dish that my grandmother always made the night before Easter, that was essentially linguini with parmesan, olive oil and garlic. No basil, no pignoli - it's NOT any kind of pesto. We grew up calling it, phonetically, "Ahlya Allya" and it is, I think, a funky pronunciation of "Olio d'oliva" - olive oil. Have you heard of such a dish, and if so, do you happen to have a recipe?
