Make Rabbit Water Bottle
I accept with pleasure the invitation of Roberto "Fumes Ethyl" and I am going to tell you 8 things about me!
1.
S: Yes, I know it's just one of the letters of the alphabet, but for me it has a special meaning. It 's the letter they start with my name, my name and my pseudonym! 2.
Saffron: is a spice that has always fascinated me. As a child it was very difficult to eat me, I never want to have a certain laziness and wanting to try new foods. My mother made me happy when I prepared the famous risotto alla Milanese. I liked that its yellow color which derived by the presence of saffron, the spice that I first tasted in my life. I could not call me Saffron!
3.
UK : You will know that I am madly in love the United Kingdom? I like everything: the language, the gloomy weather, driving in reverse, eggs and bacon, Shakespeare, and of course London. I know, everyone has his faults!
4.
Camilla: I have already spoken to her, is my cagnolona almost 9 years. 38 kg of hair, affection and a healthy pinch of madness. As his mistress will not be objective, but it is BEAUTIFUL!
5.
George Michael: It was my first official boyfriend! Joke ... of course, but at 14 I was really "in love" with him. I had all his records, posters and was doing some of his photos in the backpack. The fact that he has long been a companion to me in a way ... so calm down I never got hopes! It 'still remains one of my favorite artists and his songs have accompanied me in many moments of my life (see the July 21 concert in Rome).
6.
Gelato: this is indeed a curious thing. I ate my first ice cream cone 12. Since then for me is always and only the cone with nuts, mozzarella and cream. How boring!
7.
Books would live in a library. I love reading. For me it is the best pastime that can be. With the books I spent some unforgettable moments in distant worlds, with different characters. As a child I could not wait to have some 'influence. My mother always gave me books and I stretch out on the couch, wrapped in a blanket and read, read ...
8.
P: another letter of the alphabet! P is called Pepper in life .... P. This blog was created thanks to him, a victim of my culinary experiments and implacable judge!
I close and give the floor to:
Dolcetto
Orchid
Tulip
Excalibur
Jajo
Imma

Once in Inverness, we were charmed by this small town (only 50,000 inhabitants) crossed from the River Ness.
Capital of the Highlands, is rich in museums, a castle in 800 and rebuilt Jacobite restaurants, pubs and structures that are also a very popular tourist destination.
During the two days spent in Inverness, we chose "home" Hotel Alexander , centrally located bed & breakfast run by Mr and Mrs Nisbet. The environment is kept comfortable and romantic rooms with river views. Mrs. Nisbet welcomed us with such warmth and a big smile, asking them every night you want to report preferences for breakfast the next morning.
breakfast we were never disappointed Inglese Full Breakfast or Scottish salmon with scrambled eggs, porridge, cups of berries. Good and so abundant as to make us safely arrive until the afternoon with no hunger!
way back from a trip to Loch Ness and regret not being able to meet from Nessie, we went to the Victorian Arcade. This is a small shopping center in the Victorian era, recently renovated. Within the traditional stores with products of the Highlands, jewelers, tailors, shops for collectors and a delightful tea room: K's.
environment on two levels is small, the tables are all kitchen utensils and tablecloths divers>
the waitresses have the classic black uniform with white apron.
You can enjoy delicious freshly prepared sandwiches, a variety of scones, placed in this dispensa
torte di ogni tipo e, naturalmente, fiumi di tè.
Io ho scelto questa Cheesecake al Cioccolato Bianco.
Posso dirvi che ne avrei mangiato volentieri un'altra fetta!
In serata abbiamo fatto un salto in un locale che è una vera e propria istituzione ad Inverness, l' Hootananny , lo Scottish Ceilidh Cafè Bar.
E' un pub molto speciale dove ogni sera ci sono concerti di artisti scozzesi. Naturalmente il locale era pieno ed accompagnati da un boccale di birra abbiamo ascoltato l'artista della serata, Sarah Macbeth. La sua beautiful voice and the pace have made the evening unforgettable.

Slightly Enlarged Heart
Loch Lomond: The Oak Tree Inn Balmaha
In our Scottish tour, could not miss a stop at Loch Lomond . Located a few miles north of Galsgow, Loch Lomond and the Loch with the largest area of \u200b\u200bwater and contains some 38 islands.
It 's the ideal place to spend a relaxing vacation, sailing on its waters or admiring the scenery, or sports, walking in the woods circostanti.Noi we stopped in a small village on the right bank, Balmaha.
We spent the morning walking through the bush looking magical trees, streams and
encounter with a deer watching us curiously from behind a tree. Unfortunately I have not had time to photograph it! Then
could not miss a walk on the lake. The weather was not the best and the lake at times seemed gray and then gold as the sun peeked through the clouds.
But you know ... after all motion begins to feel the appetite!
We stopped at ' Oak Tree Inn .
I had heard a lot about this restaurant and bed and breakfast through the various guides I consulted, and search the web.
And already, in fact we chose to stop at precisely the Balmaha Oak Tree Inn!
The restaurant is built next to an oak tree of 500 years and is run by Sandy and Lucy Fraser.
You can eat the best of traditional Scottish dishes, prepared with the freshest ingredients. In addition there is a special feature: the 'Char Atlantic. This is a fish of the salmon family, but also has the attributes of the trout. It 'a fish that is salt water to fresh water. It is found in cold, deep lakes of Scotland, but also in Scandinavia and Siberia.
short, a real novelty for us Italians.
Obviously we could not choose our menu! Here it is in all its beauty!
Atlantic Char was tender and delicate, accompanied by fresh vegetables and cooked with simplicity and without sauces that would prevent the "capture" its flavor and freshness.
And for dessert my favorite British dessert: the Banoffe Pie, skillfully prepared by Mrs. Fraser.
The service was quick and the waiters very kind.
We ate in a wood-paneled room with an old elm, a beautiful fireplace in the center.
I felt like going back in winter, even when there is the snow and the landscape changes completely, and spend a few relaxing days in front of the fireplace.
Who knows!

Recovering Brinks Masterlock
The Glasgow Charles Rennie Makintosh
in our 2 days in Glasgow, we decided to take advantage the lunch time to visit two of the works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh .
Mackintosh was an architect and designer. He was born in Glasgow in 1868 and died in 1928.
came from a large family and began his business 16 years as an assistant to an architect. At the same time he studied at Glasgow School of Art, where he met the woman who would become his wife, Margaret McDonald. His inspiration came from the Scottish tradition, mixed with a hint of Art Nouveau and Japanese style.

appetite afternoon, we stopped for a snack at the Willow Tea Room on Sauchiehall Street.
It has a certain effect to taste the specialties of the tearoom (advice in particular sweets) in a style reminiscent of the early twentieth century!
The chairs, tables and mirrors form an elegant and relaxing place to spend pleasant moments.
The next day we moved across the river and we visited the House of an Art Lover . This project was presented by Mackintosh in 1901 for a contest held in Germany, but its realization came only after his death. The house was opened to the public in 1996 in Bellahouston Park.
The rooms are elegant and harmonious, with decorations inspired in particular to 'Art Nouveau. The furnishings show the Japanese influence.
particularly delicate and cozy lounge is dedicated to his wife, Margaret MacDonald ..
After the tour we had lunch in the restaurant located on the lower floor, overlooking the flower garden.

And after lunch ... ready for new adventures.

haddock, cod, sole, turbot, shrimp and salmon famous fried in batter and dell'Ashavale Pepper chose a "Jumbo Haddock, haddock "giant". 
The waitress arrived with two huge dishes full of crisp and golden threads.
We accompanied our meal with a glass of beer Saint Andrew's and our appetite was finally subdued.
The crunchiness of the batter was flawless and the flavor of the fish did not left no doubt about its freshness. Even I, who fry 4 times a year, I had no difficulty with the rest of my portion without any digestive problem.
The only drawback is that I had to give up my afternoon slice of cake!
