Italian Wild Beauty

«МОИ ЦИКЛАМЕНЫ.» на Яндекс.Фотках

You see the Cyclamen on this photo. And maybe you are surprized: why I write about wild beauty in the title of my post. But from the times I live on the hills of the Italian Sud I learned there are really many wild equivalents of well known cultivated hybrids. Iris as example. Have you ever seen wild iris??? Incredible creation! Green with brown. I think I have the photos in this blog.

This period is the period of the wild cyclamens. And imagine, they are miniatures of the hybrids! And the plant's origins are here, in Mediterranean area! And it's name is C. neapolitanum





Later I'll add here a video so that you can walk with me and enjoy the wild cyclamins here.



Next time will be better quality! Promise! :0)))

How To Cook String Beans

Fresh string beans, boiled, are one of my preferite plates in the last period. I have to eat only boiled vegetables now. It is very good for health, I know about it from the times I was interested in Ayurvedic healing. I read at that time: the persons like me (body form) have not to eat fresh vegetables. They have to eat only boiled vegetables.

My husband does not like boiled foods too. He preferes fryed ones. So it is practically impossible to convince him to eat something boiled. But... when he sees me eating somethiung "special" he wants to taste what I eat. ;-) Imagine, he eats all my boiled vegetables now.

It is not difficult to cook string beans. "Difficult" is to clean them. Because if you bought them fresh, you have to eliminate all their "tails". From both sides. And you have to remain only their "body".



After that you have to put them in boiling salted water (not to much!) and boil them about 15 minutes. Put them in a plate, add olive oil (I use olive+sesame oil, they say sesame oil is very good for health too) and vinegar (balsamic vinegar from Modena). You can see them on the lunch photo here too: Simple Rules Of Healthy Meals And Weight Loss

Afraid Of Mouse?

My blog is full of the posts about the life here, in Italy, in the last period, and I forgot completely to explore the internet and to share with you the interesting things is possible to find there. So I decided to make a pause and to open StumbleUpon. I like this program because there are many interesting sites there. And you have not to search for keywords, just to watch and to learn something interesting.

The very first video made me laugh so much. They say, women are afraid of everything. Look here.
