Orange Picking and Lunch




























































Since Randy is in Romania this weekend, I took my Valentine (Cameron) out for a day of picking oranges and then lunch at Emilio and Mariska's. What a wonderful day. We picked oranges for the first hour, then off to some ancient cave about a mile up the road, which had some beautiful views of Mineo, the Valley and Mt. Etna. After a couple hour out, we went back to Emilio and Mariska's Azienda Agricola Infantino (http://www.siculolio.ch/). They cooked a wonderful lunch for us with olives, artichokes, etc for the antipasta, then the lunch of pasta, beef, artichokes right off the grill, sausage, orange salad, and of course fresh squeezed orange juice. As usual they had fresh wine and olive oils. Cam and I had a wonderful time.
