It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🎄🐙, especially in the kitchen with dad. This is how we bring traditional Sicilian Christmas flavors to the table—with panelli, pasta with ruby sauce, octopus, and sweet treats like cassatini and cannoli. Buon Natale to all my fellow foodies out there.

🌋⚔️ Aetna Vespiri stood at the edge of Mount Etna, staring into the fiery heart of Sicily’s greatest force of destruction and renewal.
Aetna was no longer just a warrior—she was the lava.

🌋⚔️ Aetna Vespiri is a force forged from the fiery depths of her homeland, where ancient mountains smolder and spirits burn with defiance. She doesn’t bend or break; her mind is as unyielding as the volcanic peaks of Sicily itself.
