Bacon and eggs

Bacon and eggs, eggs and bacon and bread.
A dish with bacon and eggs placed on some bread.
It is usually eaten for breakfast but sometimes, when I am not very hungry and have no ideas, it is my dinner.

It is also a really simple dish to make. The only precaution, with the bacon, is not to burn it. I recommend low heat especially if, as in this case, it was quite thick.
The bread is simple packaged bread and toasted in the toaster. The eggs (in this case organic, provided by a dear friend of my dad) cooked in the fat melted from the bacon.
Easy peasy!

Azalea, an explosion of colors in a single plant.
The azalea is a spectacular flower, or rather a plant. A few days ago, walking with my dog, I found this beautiful plant, with hundreds of white and pink flowers... a spectacle!

Azalea and rhododendron are plants belonging to the genus Rhododendron (L. 1753) of the Ericaceae family, native to Eurasia and America. The name derives from the Greek words ῥόδον (rhodon, rose) and δένδρον (dendron, tree). This genus includes over 500 species, infinite hybrids and varieties, of shrubby plants, ranging from 40 to 90 cm, with open, large, rough, oval or lanceolate crowns, glossy dark green on the upper side, lighter or rusty on the lower side, with a glabrous and revolute margin, simple or double flowers, with showy colours, bell-shaped, with sometimes wavy lobes, gathered in large bunches, at the ends of the branches. They bloom between spring and summer, depending on the species. The genus Rhododendron has been divided into 8 subgenera.

Alcuni pansoti rotondi crudi dal pastificio

Pansoti rotondi

Alcuni pansoti rotondi crudi dal pastificio.
I pansoti rotondi crudi (ma credo che si possano anche chiamare pansotti, con due t), uno dei classici tipi di pasta ligure ovviamente da condire con la salsa di noci (sugo di noci).
Questi, come capirete, non sono fatti in casa ma da noi si possono trovare quasi fatti in maniera casalinga in uno dei molti pastifici (che sempre vi forniscono anche la salsa se non siete in grado di farvela).

Pansoti, pansòti in Ligurian, (from the Ligurian pansa, in Italian “belly”), are a typical stuffed pasta of Ligurian cuisine, similar to ravioli, from which they differ essentially in size and the absence of meat in the filling. Pansoti with walnut sauce (pansöti co-a sarsa de noxe) are one of the cheapest and most characteristic dishes of the Genoese tradition. Since pansoti do not contain meat, they are a lean dish, once considered suitable for the penitential period of Lent. They are often mistakenly also called “pansòtti”, as in some Ligurian provinces there is verbal emphasis on the last syllables; the double letter is therefore to be attributed to an exclusively vocal language.

Un trancio di salmone mentre cuoce sulla griglia

Trancio di salmone

Un trancio di salmone mentre cuoce sulla griglia.
Eccovi una bella foto di un trancio di salmone mentre è sulla graticola a cuocere.
Veramente un piatto semplice da preparare.
E’ sufficiente comprare un paio di tranci di salmone in pescheria, metterli un attimo in infusione con limone, olio (e per me un pochino di salsa di soia), scaldare la graticola, e mettervi a cuocere il trancio.
Tutto qui.

Salmo salar (Linnaeus, 1758), noto in italiano come salmone dell’Atlantico o semplicemente come salmone, è un pesce osseo d’acqua dolce e marina tipico dei mari temperati e freddi del nord Atlantico. S. salar è l’unica specie di salmone presente naturalmente nell’Oceano Atlantico. Nell’Atlantico orientale si trova tra il golfo di Guascogna a sud ed il Circolo Polare Artico a nord compresi il mar Bianco, il mare di Barents e l’Islanda; lungo le coste americane si incontra tra il Quebec e il New England. È presente anche nel mar Baltico. Lo si trova anche lungo le coste meridionali della Groenlandia. In passato risaliva anche i fiumi spagnoli dove si è estinto. È stato introdotto in Cile, Argentina, Nuova Zelanda e Australia. È completamente assente dal mar Mediterraneo e dalle acque dolci italiane e sud europee.

The Decapoda (Decapoda Latreille, 1802) are an order of crustaceans of the class Malacostraca, characterized by the presence of 10 legs. In Italian there is homonymy with the grouping of decapod molluscs, or Decapodiformes, with which they should not be confused. They include stocky forms (crabs), elongated forms (shrimps), and forms that must protect the abdomen. The latter are called Paguriformes, and include hermit crabs.

A delicious plate of pasta with lobster

Pasta con aragosta

A delicious plate of pasta with lobster.
Pasta with lobster, let's say with lobster sauce, is one of my favorite fish dishes (even if it's not really fish).
This was made on board my last ship (while I'm at it I'll give my Costa Crociere a little advertising, which for a few years has offered, for a fee, various special dishes - all very good).

It is medium-large in size with an average length of 20–40 cm and a maximum of 50 cm and a weight of up to 8 kg. The body is sub-cylindrical in shape, covered by an armor that changes several times during growth to recreate a new one. The carapace is divided into two parts - the cephalothorax (anterior part) and the abdomen (posterior part) - with a reddish-brown to purple-brown color and is covered with conical spines. The abdomen is made up of 6 mobile segments, and is equipped with a tiny stinger.
