#Sorrento's Pizza

[buffetlicious]

Got a few hours to waste before dinner so we went to Sorrento's Pizza on deck 14 to snack on pizzas. This pizzeria does not have fancy names for any of their pizzas just simply calling them vegetarian or containing pork like this salami pizza. If you are looking for a quick bite in the middle of the night, this is the place you want be at as it stays open till 2am in the morning.

Leaving On A Jet Plane

I’ve had a couple of attempts in recent weeks at contributing to the Writer’s Workshop, run by John Holton. These have been tolerably successful so I thought I’d give it another go. John’s post outlining this week’s prompts can be found here, and I’m going with #6 – my first airplane trip – with a little side order of #3 – foods I would gorge on if the calories didn’t count. This wasn’t my first…

Italia

Day 3 - Lemons: on the coast!

Steps walked: 11,682

Flights climbed: 4

Vehicles ridden: 3

Points of interest visited: 1

Lemons spotted: mostly ceramic and embroidered

We woke up and made ourselves breakfast with the rolls and fruit and jam available at our hotel (along with some vegan cheese we bought yesterday). Then we had an hour to kill before walking to Carol’s* hotel and meeting up with her and her group to take cars to Positano. So we napped.

A little before 11, we joined Carol et al aboard taxis that took us on the 45 minute drive. As soon as I sat down, facing the back, in the center of the car, I knew I was going to feel sick. So as rude as it likely made me seem to those I was facing, I focused on nothing but breathing as we wound through narrow coastal roads, slowing and accelerating with each bend.

A note here on Italian drivers: they have all the audacity of an overconfident Atlanta driver but with actual skill. Regardless of the size of the road or the size of the vehicle, they will weave in and out of pedestrians, traffic, and buildings and I have yet to witness an accident. All the while, they’ll be tailgating you or passing you and in true Hannibal Lector style, their heart rate never seems to exceed 60. I see nothing but relaxed and passive faces despite the aggressiveness of their maneuvering.

Positano is a city on the Amalfi coast with expensive shops lining the street which serves as both a sidewalk and road for drivers. Every other shop features lemon embroidered linen clothes, lemon ceramic sculptures, or limoncello.

I resisted! Aided in part by the cost of anything of interest.

We had some beautiful views and got some lunch at a pizza place where I had a marinara “pizza”, and in an attempt to make it more than just dough and marinara sauce, I added cherry tomatoes. It was fine. We meandered up and down the hill, dodging cars and Vespas and other tourists, got a nice view, but were otherwise pretty much done with Positano a couple hours before our car came back to pick us up. We got smoothies at a cafe to kill time and chatted with Carol before I braced myself for the drive back to Sorrento. I was successful in not being sick both times, but felt like shit for the duration of the trips.

In Sorrento we took a cab into the city square and ate at a big tourist friendly restaurant that had a vegan menu. They gave us complimentary helpings of Prosecco while we waited for a table to be ready for us, Dan and I happily ordered a pesto fusilli with tofu dish, and they also brought us small tastings of what I think was a cherry amaretto that went down very easily.

We had a great time, but Dan and I were ready for an early night because we have a long day ahead of us. So we walked the half hour trip back to our hotel and turned in.

*Carol is Dan’s mom, my mother in law. I was brutally scolded for not including that information earlier for anyone who may not know.

Father’s Day Pianillo to Pompei

We awoke the next day and Matt and Becca attempted a quick local trail run but the trail quickly became overgrown and fizzled out. We salvaged the run by turning it into a loop on some tiny local roads. Then we went home and cleaned/packed. Matt had not realized we would be trying to leave on Sunday when originally booking the lodging and agreed with the airbnb host that “Sunday is difficult” for local travel after researching it a little (somehow Matt keeps sticking us in small towns on Sundays when everything shuts down) and realizing several busses he was counting on don’t run on Sundays only. However, he had pieced together a plan that started with taking the bus to Amalfi and then looking at ferry/bus options from there. We headed to pizzeria nando a few minutes before scheduled arrival and noted that there was already a couple waiting with large suitcases for the bus (which we think was the last for the next 4 hours). It arrived only a few minutes late and we noted it was already standing room only but were able to squeeze on. The driver continued to pack people on for a few more stops then started blowing by stops shaking his finger at people waiting and giving the palms up “we’re full, what do you want me to do about it” gesture. We then made our way down the same hairpin turns we’d come up the day before, again with the honking before barreling around tight turns. The bus driver was surprisingly good at monitoring bus space and if a few people got off would then stop at a few stops until we were full again. The more people waiting, the more likely he was to blow by the stop. We made it to Amalfi with no traffic jams and were glad to get off the crowded bus. We set down the pile of bags by the benches in the shade and Matt walked off to explore ferry ticket options. Plan #1 was to try to get a ferry to Sorrento if available and not crazy expensive as it seemed like the train would be easier from there. Back up plan was to make it to Salerno on a ferry. Last resort plan was to try and make it to either place on a bus. A father’s day miracle occurred and they said that the ferry to Sorrento was actually leaving “right now” (which turned out to be about 50 min after its scheduled departure), so Matt grabbed tickets and ran back to tell everyone we were going now to the ferry. We ended up being the last ones on the ferry which was very empty and set out enjoying views of Positano and the distal tip of the peninsula before hooking around into Sorrento. We’d heard from several people that they really liked Sorrento so were fired up to see it and Matt requested they do some beach time there as his father’s day wish. Unfortunately, all of the beaches were private (other than a “public” beach that was for locals only) and every single one of them said they were completely full for the day…so we decided to bag it and train to our aribnb digs near Pompei. Thankfully the host let us check in early so we dropped stuff and then decided to walk to the beach, which was about a mile away (another fatherly request by Matt). We made it with only moderate kid whining and it turned out to be a very cool (if a bit dirty) beach. By Mediterranean beach standards this one was very long and wide and sandy. We had fun jumping in for a bit, then walked along the beach another mile or so to downtown Castellamarre where we had hoped to get some food to cook at home…however it seemed all grocery stores we could find on google were closed (Sundays!!!!). We happened upon a restaurant called “family” and tried to get a table, but they told us they were only doing take out pizza due to it being sunday so we opted for that and it turned out to be delicious and filling all for the low price of 11.50 euros total! We then walked back towards the train and planned to get gelato en route. We couldn’t find gelato, but did find a nice open grocery store so picked up some ice cream bars there as well as some other snacks for the following day. We then hopped on the train home and hit the hay.

Overall I think the naples/amalfi/pompei area was our least favorite part of italy with naples/pompei feeling pretty grungy and amalfi/sorrento being nice but super pricey and crowded. However note to those reading or our future selves that we thought Castellamarre di Stabia would've been an ideal base camp there as the beach was decent, pizza was tasty and we think you could take easy day trips to sorrento/amalfi/pompei.

Week 9: Food, Glorious Food

Buongiorno every one!

If you couldn’t guess by the title, this week's blog is going to focus on Italian food and the culture differences surrounding meals. Before arriving, this topic came up several times during my research in various “culture shock” and “what to expect in Italy” articles, yet experiencing it first hand still took me a bit by surprise.

My main shock came from the eating pace. I was used to mealtime essentially being an interruption of the day’s activities. I would always rush to eat so I could get back to whatever was keeping me busy, whether that be homework assignments, club work, or other activities. Here, mealtime is the activity. You are supposed to slow down, relax, and enjoy the company you are with. Turns out, this was much easier said than done. Only in the last few weeks have I been able to eat slowly and sip my drink without it taking conscious effort. I have come to appreciate mealtime as something more than simply fueling my body; it is a time to connect with the people around you and just enjoy life.

(Left picture of a prosciutto pizza, right picture of pomodoro bruschetta)

It is not uncommon for dinner to take 3+ hours, and this is completely normal if not expected. Service from waitstaff is very different here because of this. In the States, waiters constantly check up on you and push the bill in your face as soon as, if not before, you finish eating because the faster people leave, the faster someone else can take that table, resulting in more tips (which their paycheck relies almost exclusively upon). In Italy, waiters are paid a livable hourly wage. Tips are appreciated for good service, but not expected like tipping culture back home. After giving you a menu, waiters will leave you alone unless you call them over; if a waiter keeps coming over it is seen as them trying to rush you out which is a very rude violation of the long mealtime sactinty. While I have now come to appreciate the lack of interruptions, the first few times my friends and I ate out, we were waiting at the table for a long time before we ordered and even longer before we got the bill since we were used to it being automatically brought over instead of having to flag someone down.

(Left picture of a caprese salad, right picture of spaghetti carbonara)

To save on some food expenses, I cooked a lot of my own meals. This is where living above the grocery store came in especially handy! Money wise, a meal out is very comparable to eating out in Ann Arbor - average ~12-15 euro for a meal, but you can find cheaper places if you are looking (you can get a margherita pizza for 7-8 euro, for example). I was surprised to find that groceries were cheaper here, costing me around 20-25 euro per week, even with me cooking the majority of meals. The biggest difference is the quality of food, especially fresh food. It tastes and feels much cleaner and healthier due to the lack of preservatives and other additives we are used to in the States but are banned over here. The drawback is that the food spoils much quicker. The first time I went grocery shopping, I bought too much at once and had to throw some of it away because it went bad. Now, I shop for 2-3 days at a time to ensure I do not have to waste any of the delicious, local sourced tomatoes, fruit, or mozzarella cheese.

(Sweet treats! On the left is gelato from my favorite gelateria, on the right sweet breakfast crepes)

As I’m sure everyone knows, Italy is famous for its pasta, pizza, and gelato. As a big fan of all three, I can confidently say the hype is well-deserved. The pasta is delicious, the pizza is fabulous, and I don’t think I could ever have “too much” gelato. With Sorrento being world-renowned for lemons, lemon sorbet quickly became my favorite gelato flavor (I will be getting it several times still before I leave this weekend). Italian food will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I am sure I will greatly miss it when I leave. I can’t believe I am heading into my final week, but it’s sure to be a fun one full of activities so stay tuned!

i love naples walking tour videos so much. especially the street markets!! the ambience is amazing, i love watching people haggle, i love seeing the street style (and sometimes the lack thereof lol), seeing the food, the fruit/veg/produce stalls. 🥺❤️

this post from "the boy who ate the world" blog puts it well... even if it comes with the usual sprinkle of 'Naples is dirty and exists out of the law and also I'm fearing for my life but yummm pizza' (but i'll forgive them because it was 2009... even if people still say the same shit lol)

"Naples is a love it or hate it city. Don’t expect to find the usual archetypal piazzas, flower-lined verandas or quaint, world heritage sights. It’s narrow, sloping streets are down and dirr-ty, full of filth and graffiti. Arriving in the evening, it was as if our taxi driver was racing through the noir-style set of Frank Miller’s Sin City ala Italia. Shouts of Italian profanities, wailing police sirens, and the constant racket of impatient car honks piercing the cool, night air… a stark contrast to the peace and serenity of nearby Sorrento and the Amalfi Coast.

Despite Naples’ apparent lawlessness, its this bustling, deep brooding human energy which gives this city its charm and character. And there’s no better place to experience this than walking through one of Naples’ numerous street-markets. Montesanto’s Pignasecca Market is a prime example – there’s nothing superficial or touristey about this working class market at all. Its all very very real… Aged Italian Mamas with their walking canes out in full force, barely able to stand upright but with enough life in them to heckle and jostle with vendors for the best deal on the just picked fruit and veg… Fishmongers breaking out into song, selling stiff fresh fish and sea-snails so alive, many are still trying to crawl overboard for their lives. Here are some of the highlights of PignaSecca’s best from our Friday morning stroll."

Sorrento’s: My Go-To Pizza Place

One of my favorite aspects about Acton are the great restaurants that come with the town. Of course you have places like Starbucks, Dunkin, and McDonalds. However, Acton is home to a handful of small local restaurants that are some of the best food places around. Specifically, the place I am going to be talking about is called Sorrento's Pizza, located in the heart of Acton in a busy intersection called Kelly’s Corner. Sorrento’s is a small, local chain that is only in three towns within Massachusetts: Acton, Concord, and Harvard. 

All three of these locations use the same recipe and sell the same pizzas with the same toppings. My favorite is the traditional cheese. However, any of their pizzas I highly recommend. I personally don’t know what cheese(s) gets mixed in with the sauce and dough, however it makes for the best slice of pizza I have ever had in my life. My friends and I are pretty serious when it comes to the quality of our pizza and we all agree that Sorrento’s is on our lists of the top three best slices we’ve had. The cheese perfectly complements the thin, New York style crust and the fresh and flavor packed sauce. Put that together and bake in a wood fire oven, that is the recipe for a pretty unbeatable pizza. 

Sorrento’s has been in Acton for as long as I have lived there and well before I ever arrived. Within the area, there is a TJ Maxx, a grocery store called Roche Bros, Starbucks, and of course, several restaurants all within walking distance of four schools located nearby. This is only the surface of what the rest of Acton has to offer. All of these stores and shops are all within a mile of the four schools in total, giving Sorrento’s Pizza a prime location for lunch or an after school snack, as well as marking it as one of the most popular places to eat during the school year. 

The small independent restaurants and Sorrento’s Pizza are partially responsible for the reason why I and many others enjoy living in a town like this so much and for depleting my bank account. I have had some great memories with this pizza place over the course of my life in Acton. I remember one of the first days of 7th grade my friends and I all walked over to Sorrento’s after school. People within the community, especially the students, called it “walking”. Basically walking involves going to one or a few of the places within Kelly’s Corner after school, but the schools and students called it walking. I thought it was the most grown up thing I’ve ever done at that point. 

My friends and I decided to go to Sorrento’s as our go to walk spot and after school a few times a quarter, we would walk down after school and get our after school snack consisting of a few slices of cheese pizza and a Gatorade. I remember days where I got to walk to Sorrento’s were exciting days as I normally didn’t do that kind of thing when I was that age. 

However, walking to Sorrentos wouldn’t stop there. Throughout middle school, walking to Sorrento’s after school was what all the “cool” kids did. I didn’t do it to try and fit in with them, I walked to Sorrento’s with my friends because we were hungry and no other restaurant at the time deserved our hard earned dollars from doing chores around the house. Some of the best days after middle school were walking to Sorrento’s with a group of friends and then going to one of their houses to play video games. That combo on a Friday night was basically unbeatable.

La Pasqua in Campania: un mix di sacro e profano

La Pasqua in Campania è un periodo ricco di tradizioni che si intrecciano con il sacro e il profano, creando un'atmosfera unica e suggestiva. Le celebrazioni religiose si mescolano a riti popolari e a momenti di convivialità, dando vita a una festa sentita da tutta la regione. Le processioni della Settimana Santa Uno degli aspetti più caratteristici della Pasqua in Campania è la presenza di numerose processioni che si svolgono durante la Settimana Santa. A Napoli, ad esempio, la processione dei "Misteri" del Venerdì Santo è un evento molto partecipato, durante il quale vengono portate in processione statue raffiguranti la Passione di Cristo. La "Scampanio" e la "Corsa dell'Angelo" In alcune zone della Campania, come ad Ischia, si svolge la "Scampanio", una tradizione che prevede il suono a festa delle campane all'alba della Domenica di Pasqua. A Forio, invece, si tiene la "Corsa dell'Angelo", una rievocazione dell'annuncio della Resurrezione. I piatti tipici della Pasqua campana La Pasqua in Campania è anche un momento di festa a tavola. Tra i piatti tipici di questo periodo troviamo la pastiera, un dolce a base di ricotta, grano e uova, il casatiello, un salame rustico con uova e formaggio, e la "pizza di Pasqua", una focaccia dolce decorata con uova sode. Alcune tradizioni locali Oltre alle tradizioni comuni a tutta la regione, in alcune zone della Campania si possono trovare usanze e riti particolari. Ad esempio, a Procida si svolge la "Processione dei Santi Misteri", durante la quale vengono portate in processione statue raffiguranti la Passione di Cristo. A Sorrento, invece, si tiene la "Festa dei Giardini", una manifestazione con musica, balli e spettacoli folcloristici. Foto di Couleur da Pixabay Read the full article

Pizza post!

Soo as I promised, I tried pizza in other countries(country). Unfortunately I did it only one time as I honestly didn’t really had a mood for a pizza most of the time (sorry Gege).

I honestly do not remember the name (I can, however, ask my dad about it later), but I know that it is a place in the centre of Bucharest, Hungary.

First I ordered Margherita (I ordered it as a meme first but then really liked it cuz it’s a really light dish for a pizza). To me it was surprisingly small, compared to what I ate in umm Castellammare di Stabia (I’m not sure if this is how I’m supposed to mention this place), but hey! It tasted much more authentic than what we have in my country.

(Btw, what is the OG way to eat pizza: hands or utensils?)

Aannd the next one was something I don’t know about because it was ordered by my dad on the counter. Quite salty to me, but still normal compared to the seafood pizza that I tried in Sorrento (I’m not in a good relationships with salty/spicy food). Liked the sauce btw (I have no idea what it was) and nuts on pizza (oh god) is something I really did not expect to ever see in my life.

Mornington long weekend - 26th January 2024

On Australia Day, Hong celebrated his birthday at his home. He hosted a bbq. We got him a NY green mose cap. Anita made the birthday cake which was really good. After the party, Matt drove us to Aunt Lucia and Uncle Steve place in Cape Shank.

We stayed there for two nights. We didn't do too much when we arrived we had a few drinks and caught up with Matt's aunt and uncle. The following day, we went to Sorrento for lunch at a beer garden called the Conti bar which was part of the Intercontinental hotel. After lunch, Matt and I went for a walk along the beach. We sat on a bench while Matt napped on my lap. It wasn't hot enough to go in the water but it was nice for a walk. We went to a strawberry farm where we had some ice cream and fresh strawberries.

In the evening, we watched the movie 'Extraction'. We had home made pizza and salad for dinner.

The next day, we had to leave early because Matt had to be home to get ready for his friend's, Andy's wedding. I had a nice quiet relaxing Sunday.
