Who says you need to go out for a Happy Hour?
Happy Hour at home is a lot of fun! The process of preparing everything makes me happy in itself :) Well, I just opened a a few bags and jars.... but that bean salad is homemade!
Chi ha detto che bisogna fare l'Happy Hour fuori?
L'Happy Hour a casa è molto divertente! Tutto il preparamento in se, mi riempie di felicità :) Beh, ho giusto aperto un po' di buste e barattoli.....comunque quei fagioli sono fatti in casa!
I laid out some mini slices of salami, mini bruschetta's with Sicilian sun dried tomatoes and Sicilian pecorino cheese (made from Sheep's milk), mini hot-dogs, borlotti beans flavored with olive oil/vinegar/garlic.....
fonzies (these are an Italian version of Cheetos, nice and cheesy!), green olives, Sicilian pistacchios from a place called Bronte, and capers (capperi!) from Pantelleria (a place in Sicily famous for these capers and raisins)....
pickled mushrooms (funghi sott'olio), two non-alcholic, typical Italian drinks: Crodino and Sanbitter (both bittersweet), Mikado chocolate sticks (obviously not Italian, but Japanese :)), and mini forks in green, white and red- the colors of the Italian flag! Non sono carini le mini forchette di color verde, bianco e rosso?
Hope you enjoyed this Happy Hour in Sicily, and that you have space for lunch (or dinner!)
Evviva l'Happy Hour all'italiana!
