La focaccia al formaggio del Don Luigi

La focaccia al formaggio del Don Luigi devo dire che mi ha soddisfatto.
Non è proprio quella dop di Recco (come per altro si viene informati nel menù) in quanto non ci sono gli ingredienti obbligatori ma con lo stracchino comunque esce un piatto ottimo.

Purtroppo ormai il Don Luigi ha cambiato gestione e non sono ancora andato a provare i nuovi piatti.
Rimarrà il bel ricordo. Se ricordi legati a questo ristorante-pizzeria o se vuoi farmi sapere la tua opinione su questa foto lascia un commento cliccando here.

Focaccia col formaggio exists in numerous versions, with surface fillings that include either just cheese (of various types, sometimes mixed together) or other ingredients (cheese and cooked ham, cheese and sausage, speck and fontina, etc.). The ingredients include flour, extra virgin olive oil and brewer's yeast (basic ingredients for the dough the same as those of the equally typical Genoese focaccia), in addition of course to the chosen cheese that is placed on top of the dough before putting it in the oven. Regarding the latter, there are variations with fontina or other similar soft cheeses, with less dense cheeses such as stracchino, mozzarella or gorgonzola and, as mentioned, mixtures of different cheeses.

A beautiful butterfly with the Bay of Silence in the background

Farfalla in Baia

A beautiful butterfly with the Bay of Silence in the background.
This morning, today is May 26, 2018, as usual I popped into the Bay of Silence (Portobello) to enjoy a few minutes of sun.
While I was on the Cappuccini climb, looking for the best spot to immortalize the beach, today really full of bathers (it seems the summer heat has finally arrived), I happened to see a beautiful butterfly land on these flowers.
And it even stayed still for several seconds!

Una pianta nata sopra gli scogli

Pianta sopra gli scogli

Una pianta nata sopra gli scogli.
Un paio di giorni fa ero in Baia del Silenzio a Sestri Levante in cerca di ispirazione per qualche scatto.
Mi sono sporto dal piccolo belvedere che sta sopra al Citto bar e ho notato queste piante che crescono sul muretto di mattoni che sta sopra a quegli scogli.
Mi è uscito uso scatto che mi piace molto. Ho usato anche il filtro miniatura della mia macchina fotografica per farlo un po’ più artistico.

Velelle

Velelle in Baia del Silenzio on May 16, 2018.
The velelle (or velette or barchette di San Pietro) are dissolving along the beach of Baia del Silenzio and, as anyone who has seen them knows, they are not doing so by leaving a nice smell.
Thanks to the small storm that is lashing the Riviera these days, they are there beached on the shoreline… Luckily when the sun returns they will already be gone.
For now, the photo.

Have you ever seen these beached animals?

Here's where the bay is located:

Velella velella, also known as St. Peter's or St. John's boat, is a colony of hydrozoans of the Porpitidae family. It is often found in all oceans, on the shores or at most 1-2 cm deep in the water, with a preference for warm or temperate waters. Like other cnidarians (coelenterates), Velella velella is a carnivorous animal. It captures its prey, usually plankton, using its tentacles that contain toxins. These toxins, while effective against the prey, are harmless to humans, as they cannot penetrate the skin and do not cause any reaction to human skin. However, it is preferable to avoid touching your eyes after picking up a Velella velella.
