The cherry party

If you follow the blog you might remember that post back in April in which I shown you all some of the views around here, specially the blossoming cherry trees. If you don't remember, go read it now, that's an order!

In any case, those little white flowers turned into cherries somehow (I think wizardry is involved) and now the whole region is overflowing with tasty round sweet red orbs of goodness.

Pizza time

Today I'm blogging with an empty stomach, so let's talk about many (young) people's favorite food: Pizza!

The precursors of pizza originated thousands of years ago when people just started placing things on top of pieces of bread, some oil here, some cheese there, but as we know it, pizza started in the Italian city of Napoli (Naples) in the medieval times. It was simply bread shaped as a disk, but what made it distinctively a "pizza" around the 16th century was the arrival of tomatoes from the newly found America, which became the first 'topping'. A food for the people, by the people, sold in stands on the streets, it was banned in royal courts. Who would dare to eat as the commoners?
