This morning I listened to a podcast that spoke about the Sicilian influence in NOLA. Two places I have never been that have major food history, and that are large centers of all things delicious. And both which carry a culture so vast from the parts in which they are attached. It reminded me of the current citrus season and how Sicily is a sumptuous port of citrus and of course, oh yes, of course, we think of lemons and Cedro! The first Sicilians stepped foot in NOLA / U.S. with citrus! Sicily’s immigrants created major food ways with New Orleans.

This makes me think of those awesome memories of lemon vines near the poolside of the Masseria in which I lived in Puglia. I think of picking them when I wasn’t supposed to and burying one in my luggage to bring back home with me to the U.S. I now have a dried, hollowed out lemon in my sock drawer, a memory I will ALWAYS keep.
