Eccomiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ....!!!
I could not wait to go back to writing in my blog dear:)
How are you?? ... I'm fine! Alterno my ups and downs, but I peaks of infinite joy, and those in a moment make you forget all the times no!
Ormai la Pasqua è alle porte e in casa e per le stradine più antiche, già si comincia a sentire il profumo dei ricordi!
Il primo è quello dei tanto lavorati casatielli.
Ed io e mamma non potevamo non prepararli anche quest'anno, con la ricetta che ci ha lasciato la mia cara nonna. Abbiamo iniziato ieri, lavorandoli a mano per più di un'ora ed oggi infornati e completati con gli immancabili confettini colorati.
