#thegfw2021 I will never forget seeing this thous #thegfw2021  I will never forget seeing this thousand-year-old olive tree in the company of a man who has loved it all his life.  He visits it nearly every day, and still sees its dignified beauty as though for the first time.  It says so much about the people of Sicily that generations have protected these trees, and still do, as a precious part of their living history.
For the Guild of Food Writers photo challenge for For the Guild of Food Writers photo challenge for today, this is Bianca, sitting underneath the counter where Fabio and Annarella crack open the nuts from their organic trees at Zisolhouse Farm in Sicily.

Don’t you love a carrot cake? Good old-fashione Don’t you love a carrot cake?  Good old-fashioned greedy pleasure.  This one is finely textured, and sometimes plays a three-layer stunner, and sometimes whimsical cupcakes decorated with little carrot cookies.  My family in the States loves these and I so wish I could bake for them right now.  So I asked a kind chef near them to make them for my loved ones there using this recipe, and the response was just what I’d hoped it would be:  a lift of the spirits on both sides of the ocean. : - )  win win.  Sometimes something delicious really helps!  Recipe here: https://www.crumbsonthetable.co.uk/wholesome-carrot-breakfast-muffins-and-a-finely-textured-carrot-cake/#more-3101
