I grill almost all of my fish with the skin on because that gives you real protection at least on one side.

Everything has changed. When I was at school and was told I had better learn English, I said: What for? The English are a hell of a long way away! ↗

I looked for a very long time, knowing that it had to happen, but it took me a long time to find someone with the same background and whatnot and I finally found him. ↗

I spent a college semester in a small town in Italy - and that is where I truly tasted food for the first time. ↗
