And finally she (the waitress) wrote in English on the milk surface of the coffee cup :-)
Last week I talked with a dear blogging friend from the UK, Willie. We also mentioned through email a famous Italian sugary cake filled with cheese. Its name is Cassata. My sister, who live in Naples (South Italy), makes that cake at home three or four times a year. It seems it is not a cake for beginners.
Its name derives from the Latin term for cheese, caseus, or from the Arab word qas'at , which means cake pan. The American version of this wonderful cake is also decorated with strawberries, which give some freshness to the sweet cake.

Unfortunately, I have just heard that one of the organizers for the Ottawa Trucker Convoy, Tamara Lich, had been found dead in her cell in Ottawa from an apparent strangulation. Can we say that her death was suspicious? ... considering that Tamara Linch was not suicidal. One year ago an Italian doctor, Giuseppe De Donno, who became famous for having discovered and proposed the cure of hyperimmune plasma to defeat Covid-19, committed suicide by hanging himself in his house. He had criticized the Health Ministry and proposed his own innovative therapy. That's enough, as nowadays it is easy to become a paranoid conspiracy theorist.
In addition, last week we heard many bad news from East Europe. At the moment Moscow prepare for talks and Ukrainian delegation arrives for negotiations. I hope we will hear good news soon!
Have a nice week!

In Italy of course..If you go to a
confectioners..(sweet shop)..you
will see many, many forms of Cassata!
Cassata is a Sicilian traditional cake from
Sicily. Cassata consists of round sponge cake
moistened with fruit juices or liqueur and
layered with ricotta cheese and candied fruit,
a filling also used with Cannoli..
Italy/Sicily has the best Cassata..Cannoli..in
the world..NOT! Forgetting the ice~cream of
course..!
And from The Godfather..
"Leave the gun, Take the Cannoli"
Meaning..leave the past behind (The gun is the awfulness of the past),
and look into the future..(the cannoli is the anticipation of a sweet
future)...Ciao! Arrivederci!
To Willie:
True, it's the same fillig as we see in cannoli. Cannoli and cassata are wonderful in Sicily, not to mention of ice-cream ... from The Godfather, she said: "don't forget cannoli" :-)
Have a nice week, Willie!
...I hadn't heard about Tamara Lich.

Giorgio I found this on fact checker. Was Tamara Lich, one of the leaders of the Ottawa trucker convoy, found dead in her jail cell? No, that's not true: Lich was alive as of February 23, 2022, according to the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre, where she was being detained. The spokesperson for the Ministry of the Solicitor General confirmed to Lead Stories that Lich had not been found dead in her jail cell. The reports are confusing all over the internet and new media reports. However, we know this happens. I can't find any other straight answer about this. Now for the cake I'll take two. What a beautiful cake. Hope you are well.
To Nicole:
Thank you for your answer, Nicole ... so somebody made the fake news with the website https://vancouvertimes.org/

The Cassata looks delicious. I like Tiramisu.
God bless.
I've never heard of this cake before but it looks delicious. I also hope that the second negotiation of Ukraine and Russia will be completed positively...
Yum!
The Cassata does look delicious.
All the best Jan
