Pasta with Salami Pasta

Good sunday readers! How are you?

This morning I was so dynamic that I decided to cook something very, very good for lunch.  I opened the fridge and, there, right there, at the forefront of one of the shelfs, in front of my eyes, I have found a little pack of salami pasta. So, why don't cook a good sauce for pasta? And I did it! I wanted use potatoes dumplings, but I did not have potatoes at home, so I used penne. 

The recipe is very simple:

1- I prepared some sautéed vegetables with onions, carrots and slice of squashed garlic.

2- I added the salami pasta, the tomato passata and a bit of BBQ sauce and let it boil.

3- I cooked the pasta.

4- Finally, I mixed all together and served after it cooled a little.

And this is the result!

Hope you liked this post.

Have a nice summer's weekend!

Manga review: Torikago Syndrome

Hello readers! How are you?

Today I want talk about the new manga "Torikago Syndrome" by Akaza Samamiya.

"Will the young boys in cage obtain the wings for freedom or will crowl into the darkness?

With the suggestion of "Daddy Long-legs", Tsugumi Ayase join the seminary Zugvogel. There, searching the true freedom, take part to "the game of the classes". However because of this cruel and unfair game Marco, the first friend that the boy has nevere had, is pushed to retreat himself from the school and Tsugumi decide to become the next "king" for stopping this game. So start a new game with protagonists Tsugumi, the king Kain, the misterious Licht and the teacher Reinhart!

What will be the outcome of the game?"

A perfect summary behind the manga. I wasn't able to write one, so I decided to copy (or better translate) the summary of the manga.

I found the first pages of this manga into a booklet in my favourite comics shop and than I found the first number at the Verona Comics' Fair. After I bought the first number I descovered that it was a miniseries composed by only 2 volumes. I've read the first number, I litterarly divoured it, and than? I wanted read the second one because I wanted know how it finished.

It have been very interesting, with a lot of intrigues between the protagonists. Something "soft", infact it is a Shojo manga, a sort of romance. I liked it, and for the lovers of Shojos, I really suggest it.

See you next post!

Love

Emily.

Anime review: Kiseiju

Hello everybody!
Last week my boyfriend and I finished to watch "Kiseiju".

It talk about a parasite who ate the right arm of a boy. They start to live together for their survival against other parasites who kill and eat other people.

The plot is very simple,  but the ideologies exhibited in it are relly strong. The anime has a specific reference to our modern theme of pollution and world's overpopulation. I like the almost radical changing of the protagonist, but i liked more the ideologies of the parasites.

As usual I don't like say more about, because I don't want spoil something very very interesting!

See you at next post!

The Troll's Bridge

Welcome back readers!
Today I would tell you a very little story inspired by this photo I took last week:

"The Troll's Bridge"

Once upon a time, a troll was living under a bridge near  a village and for each villager that passed the bridge he asked a toll. One day he met a little girl and, as usually, he stopped her and saied:

"If you want pass, you have to pay a toll."

"Why I should pay for passing the bridge?" asked the girl.

"Because it's mine." the troll answered.

"It can't be yours, I don't see any signpost with your name on."

"But it's my home!" the troll was getting angry.

"Don't shout please. I have to go now or I'll be late for school." the girl passed without paying the toll, and the troll retired under his bridge.

The following day, early in the moarning, the troll was still sleeping whe he was woke up by a strong noise of a hummer hitting on something. He went out by the bridge to see what was happening and saw the girl of the day before who was installing a signpost to the starting of the bridge.

"Why are you doing this?" asked the troll.

"Because you're right asking a toll to villagers who want pass the bridge, but you should show that this is your bridge." answered the girl. After she finished to install the signpost she gave two coins to the troll; one for the day before and one for that ones, than she passed the bridge and went to school.

Days passed and all the villagers wanted pass the bridge, payed the toll for the troll. He became reach, but he wasn't happy. He liked scare the villagers who didn't want to pay the toll, and now he was boring. One day he decided to break the signpost for scaring all the villagers who passed there. When she meet again the girl she asked:

"Why did you break the signpost? Didn't you want our coins?"

"I don't want your coins, I want scare all of you." answered happy the troll.

"So, you don't need of this?" the girl asked showing the coin.

"No, I don't need it." he took a big sack of coins and gave it to the girl, than he retired again under the bridge, waiting for the next villager to scare. The girl came back home with the big sack of coins and decided to use them for halp her parents with the field of grain. From that day the troll nevemore scared the girl, he scared only the other villagers.

Hope you liked the story.

Have a nice weekend and...pay attention to the troll!

Verona Comics' Fair

Hello readers! How are you?

Last sunday I went to the Verona Comics' fair with my boyfriend and friends. It was so beautiful despite the weather was rainy. We left home at half past eight in the moarning and it took two houres for reach our destination. After entered the fair, we started walk around the stands, watching what we could by later. While we was walking around, I saw a staffed animal of a sweet character of an old anime I used to wath with my sister when I was young. It's name is Mokona by the anime "Magic Knignt Rayearth". I've always loved it.

After the first parade lap, we had our lunch, and then we started with purchases. At the end of the shopping I bought: 2 mangas, a beautiful kimono, a nice collar with a little bell a cat's tail and a nwe boardgame, "Caverna: the cave farmers".

I have finished to read last night the second number of the manga "Bloody Mary" .It is so misterious and nice! Waiting for the third number, I will read the other one I bought "Torikago Syndrome".

Have a nice weekend!
