Better to come about Persia
I don’t like to talk about politics. I’ll try to stick with the facts, then.
There has been a lot of moaning about the bill on publications announced by the Italian Government (no English there, sorry) on requiring any blog and Internet journal (in law language, “any website with a purpose of information, education, dissemination or entertainment“, Art. 2, Par. 1 of the above mentioned law) to subscribe to a national register (Art. 6 and 7 of the same law), as well as to name an editor in chief responsible for the information published.

Here comes a recipe to prepare limoncello, a Southern Italian dessert liquor, as my dad Paolo told me.
Ingredients:
Preparation
Put the alcohol in a glass or plastic jar, and add the lemon rind (just the yellow part, without the white internal part).
Close the jar and wait for 10-12 days, then filter the concentrate (e.g. with a tea strainer).
Heat up the water and mix the sugar in it in order to have it completely melted.
Cool down the mixture and add the concentrate to it stirring all the time. Bottle it. You’re done: cheers!
Note: The quantity of water can be more or less depending on the alcoholic strength you want to get.
Limoncello tastes best if really cold.

But, living in the middle of the nature (as anywhere you might live here in Finland), sometimets I happen to forget which tree is which, so I’ve decided to write down a table of the most common trees. Clicking on the Finnish name you can also see a picture of them! Isn’t that gorgeous?
