The other day I went to a couple of offices to do some little things. I went to the bank, and the telephone company, in both places they told me they couldn’t do anything and they gave me a telephone number to call. This system is a tricky way for them to make money on phone calls. In fact after two minutes listening to recorded voices I spent about two euros to call, and what they told me was that I had to go to their office again.
That sounds really like a trap to squeeze money, companies just bounce costumers that need help to operators at call centers.
Fortunately life is not only bureaucracy and nonsense phone calls, there’s also Roma that won Lazio in the derby!

I’m at my parents house, in Fabrica di Roma, they have a small field were they grow vegetables, so I thought about making a pumpkin and potatoes soup with their fresh products.
It’s so rare if not impossible to find such as natural vegetables now days; just like heart gives them to us, that when you have the chance to have some of this product just dont miss the chance of eat them.

Here’s I’m going to explain the way i did a pumpkin soup:
Take a Pumpkin, some potatoes and some carrots, peal them, cut them ruffly and put the pieces in a baking tin, add extra virgin olive oil (my parents make their own), rosemary, garlic on its skin, salt, and a couple of chilies.

Cover the baking tin with aluminum foil and put it in the oven for forty minutes at 220 degrees.
In the mean time cut in small pieces a couple of onion and fry them slowly in a big pan with extra virgin olive oil.

At this point, take the pumpkin and the other vegetables from the oven, take a part the rosemary and the garlic and add them to the frying onion in the pan.
Squeeze a couple or more garlic out of the skin in the compound and stir it with a wooden spoon to help the vegetables melting. Add to the soup enough water with vegetarian bouillon in it , let it go for a little wile and the soup it’s ready.

Serve it with garlic bread and a tread of extra virgin olive oil.

Now that in Carrapateira I don’t have so much technology to be busy with, I’m feeding my hunger of it with my cheap nokia 1208. I’m discovering any secret of this phone, like the right key menu, I didn’t know about this option; you can put a list of direct link to your favourite tools on the right button, UAUAUIUA! The calendar it’s very useful, and with the timer I keep the cooking under control and I don’t forget the pepperoni in the oven! But the buttons I’m burning the most are the ones to play Nature Park, I’m trying to break the edge of thousand points, at the moment my best score is 963. Does somebody can do better? Also Rapid Ball is an enjoyable game, my best score is 3477, on the contrary I cant play Snake Xenzia, it’s a very sad game, but they should never take it away from the phone’s game, you never know.
I want to open a battle to all the ones that want compete for the best score on Nature Park and Rapid Ball, I told you mine, does somebody can break it? Picture as a prove is required, don’t fake on photoshop, refer yourself to the famous moral of game’s phone players.
