... do you agree? An Italian poet (Eugenio Montale) wrote in one of his most famous lyrics such lines: ...Oh the simple minded man, friend to others and to himself, who does'nt take care of his own shade, impressed by the...

opinione By the way, Montale has been awarded the Nobel prize for Literature some decades ago... good thinking to everyone.

In my experience, and opinion, there is one, the italian sorbetto, which is so delicate and not as creamy as the ordinary ice cream. It is usually fruit juice flavoured, so it tastes as mandarin, most frequently, or as lemmon or...

opinione It is a common Italian product which is usually exported everywhere in Europe, so I think it will be affordably bought even in Nederlands. Let me know if you'll have the possibility to taste such a delicious ice cream. It is also low calories content, since...

So what was your favorite series? Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, Voyager, The Next Generation, or Enterprise? I don't think I am forgetting one, let me know if I am. But what was your favorite?

star trek

voyager

opinione I like the classical series too. It was the first and it is unforgettable. I think that the movies produced by Gene Roddenberry, starting from 1979 when the good 'Star Trek the motion picture' was first issued, are a bit inferior to the three mitical seasons...

Now we have got a new pet: a Phodopus. It is a sort of small mouse with a very small tail covered of hairs. He, or should I say she, since it is a she mouse, looks like a sort of bonsai-hamster, even if his hairs on the back of...

opinione This new 'entry' was so casual inasmuch that we have another pet already at home: a 7 years old persian/european cat... You can imagine which were our fears for this little mouse, moreover wounded on her little tail. On the contrary, our cat, who is the...

opinione I can eat sushi without any problem, and I like the smell of some of those foods which I absolutely can't eat, generally it depends on their taste, if I've ventured to taste them. Brains I can't absolutely see it cooking. good bye

opinione The most 'adventurous' food I've eaten have been goose thongues in a chinese restaurant with my mother-in-law. They were good, even if a bit expensive.

Give me integers x,y,z such that x^3 + y^3 = z^3. Do think well before you answer! The solution may be trickier than it seems at a casual glance! All the best!

opinione Thanks for the kind reply! I'm wondering wether exists such a sort of 'generalization' of Pitagora's t. : y^n = sum[k=1:n] (x_k)^n In other words, n is the minimum number of integers elevated to a certain power n whose summation gives another integer...

opinione I like carpaccio food a lot. The fact is that in our language carpaccio seems to be related not to a special kind of food: meat or vegetables or even pasta, but to a special way of preparing it. I'm not a professional cook but I can tell you that I prefer...

opinione The fact is that our eggs with our water almost invariably crack if cooked just for dropping into hot water. They don't break completely, but just drops out some of the white part, the albumen. I don't know the reason of this trivial problem, but that's it,...

opinione In my experience, I must admit, it is quite difficult to have the egg boiled and its shell unbroken when I and everyone I know put the egg directly in hot water. Someone suggested me to add a spoonful of salt in the water, but the result did not change, till...
