Am crazy about your blog which I just found. Can’t even stay on one page. I’m going to Sicily (from MN, USA) for two months in October. It’ll be my fourth visit. I love Sicily!

  I’d take Rome any day, instead of Giardini Naxos in the August heat!

Hello,

I am an Italo Australian writer who ran away to Sicily sixteen years ago, to the surprise of family, friends and myself.

Ever since moving to Italy I’ve been teaching ESL and writing about my experiences in Sicily .

This blog is all about my obsession with the island and its culture.

I love food, slow travel, photography, creative writing, music, reading books and all things Italian.

I live a misadventurous life near Messina as a full time Mummy, part time writer and life long creative.

Drop me a line if you want to know more or collaborate.

Cheers

Everyday Sicily

One of my faviourite italian words which embodies a bit of history and a whole lot of Italian flamboyance and stubborness. . . . . #sicilying#expatinsicily#livinginsicily#everydaysicily#sicily#ig_sicily#ig_trincaria#siculamente#mylifeinsicily#authenticsicily#sicilianjourney#dolcevita#italyiloveyou#unwillingexpatsicily#typicallyitalian#sicilyinsideandout#italianwordoftheday#learnitalian#speakitalian#italian#italianwords#dolcevitabloggers#campanilismo

Click on over to today's post which is a timely italian word reflecting the current political situation in Italy. . . . . #sicilying#expatinsicily#livinginsicily#everydaysicily#sicily#ig_sicily#ig_trincaria#siculamente#mylifeinsicily#authenticsicily#sicilianjourney#dolcevita#italyiloveyou#unwillingexpatsicily#typicallyitalian#sicilyinsideandout#italianwordoftheday#learnitalian#speakitalian#italian#italianwords#dolcevitabloggers#poltronismo

I got out this great reference book to polish off my Italian word of the day post this week. I’ve had it since high school and I remembered a couple of terms from it which are perfect to describe my thoughts. I even found a few cards with notes I took way back in the day. I love how good books never really age. It was like finding a long lost friend. . . . . #booklover#bookstagram#bookshelf#books#instabook

Come on summer hurry up! I’m craving granita so bad. It doesn’t taste the same unless it’s warm outside. . . . . #sicilying#expatinsicily#livinginsicily#everydaysicily#sicily#ig_sicily#ig_trincaria#siculamente#mylifeinsicily#authenticsicily#sicilianjourney#dolcevita#secludedsicily#sicilianista#italyiloveyou#unwillingexpatsicily#typicallyitalian#everydaysicily#sicilyinsideandout#siciliabedda#sicilianlandscapes#italy#sicily#siciliancuisine#springtimeinsicily#granita

The countryside outside of Sant Angelo di Brolo in the province of Messina is still densely populated with many hamlets, churches, small groups of houses. The people still have a sense of community and a relationship with nature, I always pass people who are busy in their gardens, maintaining their land in the age old traditions of Sicily. I hope this never changes. . . . . #sicilying#expatinsicily#livinginsicily#everydaysicily#sicily#ig_sicily#ig_trincaria#siculamente#mylifeinsicily#authenticsicily#sicilianjourney#dolcevita#secludedsicily#sicilianista#italyiloveyou#unwillingexpatsicily#typicallyitalian#everydaysicily#sicilyinsideandout#siciliabedda#sicilianlandscapes#italy#sicily#messina#santangelodibrolo#sicilianlandscape#springtimeinsicily

This year I’m back at the town of Sant’Angelo di Brolo teaching children English as a second language. It’s a really challenging and fun job. I love the drive I take along the backroads from outside of Sinagra where I have been living, cutting across the mountains through tiny little hamlets with a forest of hazel, olive and acorn trees that create a canopy over the roads. Every once in a while there is a space in amongst the trees which reveal the most amazing panoramas. I look forward to seeing Sant’Angelo in the valley, Piraino in the distance and on a clear spring morning the outline of one of the Aeolian Islands, islands in the distant Tyrrhenian Sea. Simply magical! . . . . #sicilying#expatinsicily#livinginsicily#everydaysicily#sicily#ig_sicily#ig_trincaria#siculamente#mylifeinsicily#authenticsicily#sicilianjourney#dolcevita#secludedsicily#sicilianista#italyiloveyou#unwillingexpatsicily#typicallyitalian#everydaysicily#sicilyinsideandout#siciliabedda#sicilianlandscapes#italy#sicily#messina#santangelodibrolo#sicilianlandscape#springtimeinsicily

I've had such a great response to my list of Italian words post that I'm going to be doing an Italian word of the day, with a beautiful descriptive word of phrase used by Italians. First on my list is tormentone: which is used to describe those unbearable fads that invade your everyday peace of mind. Click on to my blog link for more details! Like this post if you think this is a fab idea! Have a wonderful Sunday!!!😁✌️

I cannot resist the endless possibilities of the liquor selection under the florescent lights of my local supermarket. Adding a dash of coffee or almond flavoured liquor to a cake, muffin or dessert seems like a wonderful to pep up a tired recipe. I’m hankering to experiment. Has anyone perked up something with a dash of alcohol?

Cherry time in Sicily …

I carciofi siciliani sono tanto spinosi quanto il cambiare del tempo, ma dopo che le loro spine esterne vengono rimosse, il carnoso fiore interno è un delicato rimedio per il freddo. Nuovo post sul blog, clicca sopra😁

The best way to prepare the first tender artichokes of the season is to stuff them with a combination of fresh spring aromas like pancetta, parsley, spring onions, garlic, finely sliced celery, a pinch of hot chilli pepper, all soaked in a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon and then cooking them slowly over hot coals, or ‘a braci’ as they say in the local dialect. https://sicilyinsideandout.com/2018/05/11/smoky-roasted-sicilian-artichokes/

Sesame seed or hazelnut torrone? Always a difficult decision ...
