La.Per.LaA - Impression from an Italian beach comber, beadweawer, crafter and traveller
 |
| Mozzarella di Bufala, ripe Pachino Tomatoes, dried basilico, home made olive oil, salt and pepper: this is all you need for this fresh and wonderful Italian favourite, and also one of my favourite for its simplicity and wonderful taste. |
 | |
| The main dish was "sautè" with various clams. Also this dish is extremely easy to prepare, the "longest" time to prepare it is the time you need to have the clams under running sweet water so that they will "spit out" all the sand inside. Then roast a bit of fresh garlic in a pan with good quality olive oil and if you like a couple of pachino tomatoes, throw in the shells, cover the pan and wait until all the shells are open. No salt is needed as the shell will release their salted sea juice.Add some fresh parsley, sprinkle with freshly grounded pepper, if you like some lemon juice but not too much or you will loose the smell and taste of the sea (if you have use amalfi lemons as the juice is sweeter than regular lemon). Of course have some good rustic bread and forget bon-ton because you will not be able to resist to do what in Italy is called "scarpetta" or dip your bread like a sponge into this sauce. |

| I love the beach when the sun chairs are gone. What a day for a horse stroll on the beach... I wish I was doing it! |
 |
| The horse are gone, what a marvellous view of this little beach. |

... and a bride walking on the beach on her most memorable day! |

| My work desk is usually full of projects I have started, some I do not like and are there ready to be "redone", and a lot of small items I could not yet find the right inspiration. Among them there is always several pieces of sea glass and sea pottery. This one piece I liked do much but I felt I had to find a particular way to "capture"it. Last night I looked at it one more time and it strongly reminded me of shark teeth, so I decided to try to "imitate" the way shark teeth are usually casted. |
 |
| I love how it has turned out. I think it really looks like shark teeth for a modern sexy and romantic pirate's outfit. |
