Erice et le vent qui sent le sucre…
samedi 14 octobre 2006


Nous voici de retour…
Après quelques jours passés sur la pointe de la Sicile à decouvrir une autre perle italienne, à garder dans un tiroir où le temps qui passe lui donnera encore plus de beauté.
Erice, une petite ville du Moyen-Âge à 703 mètres sur la mer de Trapani, destination des touristes (qui magiquement dispairessent) et scientifiques. Suspendue dans les nuages et dans le temp, quand le brouillard descend.





En flanant parmi les ruelles caillouteuses et silencieuse, parmi les cours des maisons bourrées de fleurs et de plantes, on s'aperçoit d'être seul et d'entendre le bruit de ses propres pas sur l'ancien pavé.
Le silence raréfié des églises et des couvents, la beauté des portails baroques éclaircis et amincis par le temps, l'entrelacement des anciennes faiences, la mer lointaine qui se faufile parmi les murs normands.




Le centre minuscule renferme toute la typicité de l'artisanat du lieu: les faiences décorées aux couleurs brillantes (moi, je préfère celle de Vietri sul Mare, Salerne), les tapis tissés à la main.




Et puis… encore d'autres bijoux autochtones: la pâtisserie d'Erice.
Une pâtisserie colorée et baroque, très sucrée mais jamais ennuyeuse, enrichie par les amandes, les pistaches et les fruits confits, et raffinée par la ricotta, les parfums d'oranges et par des petites touches de la vanille incomparable.
Mais surtout une pâtisserie très parfumée. Le vent d'Erice il sent le sucre et les fourneaux chauds.


Un art pâtissier né dans la simplicité et le silence des murs du convent de clôture San Carlo, ensuite recueilli par les mains, désormais expertes, de madame Maria Grammatico qui a su valoriser cet art et le transporter pas seulement au-delà de la mer de Trapani mais de l'océan aussi.
Cannoli farcis au moment et cassatine très élégante, petits gâteaux de pâte d'amandes et sospiri aux agrumes. Les genovesi, à goûter et regoûter, un coffret de pâte sablée farcie d'une crème pâtissière parfumée à la vanille, dont la recette est secrètement gardée.
Défournés et vendus encore tièdes, ils sont à goûter dans la rue en les tenants pour quelques instants entre les mains, comme une tasse chaude qui vous chauffe pendant qu'on se promène par ce charmant bourg sicilien.







Quand vous vous serez fatigués de monter et de descendre les ruelles caillouteuses et de vous vous pencher des nombreaux belvédères pour indiquer les Iles Egadi, les salines de Trapani et au nord, s'il n'y a pas de brouillard, l'Ile de Ustica… dirigez-vous vers le Monte San Giuliano.
Un restaurant sans fanfreluche comme on imaginerait un restaurant sur un cocuzzolo d'une montagne, mais au service attentionné et aux bons verres à vin comme on s'attendrait d'un restaurant recommandé par Slow Food.
Matteo Giurlanda et Andrea Coppola, les deux propriétaires, respectivement dans la cuisine et dans la salle.
Inoubliables les sarde (sardine) a beccafico, le poisson fumé et le mosciame di tonno (jambon doux du filet de thon). Auténthiques les bustiati au pistou à la trapanaise mais un peu trop à la saveur d'ail, savoureux les couscous de poisson et delicieux le bouillon qui va avec.
Au lieu du dessert, la cernia alla matalotta, un beau filet de mérou couvert d'olives vertes, câpres et une pluie d'amandes.
La carte des vins suit, ou mieux encore, anticipe les belles surprises qui arrivent de la cuisine, ouverte à la vue.

How can i wipe windows xp from my laptop and reinstall windows Me -the laptops original software?
I suffer with recently bought a used laptop that is old. The himself I had bought it from had installed windows xp on it, even though it at came with windows Me. I want to eradicate the windows xp because it runs slows on the laptop because it takes up more honour than the windows Me would. Also I wish to massacre windows xp because it is an illegal copy. So when I tried to hop to it updates on it, windows would not install updates because the windows xp is not genuine. [URL=http://ioiombg.tripod.com]adjusting ski bindings[/URL]

Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up
and let you know a few of the images aren't loading properly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I've tried it in two different internet browsers and both show the same outcome.

Hello! Quick question that's entirely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying
to find a template or plugin that might be able to fix this problem.
If you have any recommendations, please share. Thank you!

Exploring digg.com I noticed your blog book-marked as: Blogger:
Calme et Cacao. Now i'm assuming you book marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a good deal of targeted traffic? I've been
thinking of doing some bookmarking for a few of my sites but wasn't certain if it would produce any positive results. Thanks.

Howdy, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just
curious if you get a lot of spam feedback? If so how do you protect against it, any plugin or anything you can
suggest? I get so much lately it's driving me mad so any help is very much appreciated.

I do not know if it's just me or if perhaps everybody else encountering issues with your blog. It appears as though some of the written text within your content are running off the screen. Can somebody else please provide feedback and let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with my browser because I've had this happen previously.
Thanks

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my
iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation.
My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views.
I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it
with someone!

Hey there, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
When I look at your blog in Firefox, it looks fine but when opening in
Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, superb blog!
