Taste of sea, ravioli al nero di seppia

This Sunday it was commemorated, here, in Argentina, the mother’s day. I was habituated to commemorate it in the second Sunday of May. I think that in most of the countries that I know it commemorates in May. I don’t know why here it is in this date. But if you are in Rome do as the Romans.-So, I calls my mother-in-law and I invited her to took the lunch here with us. As you know my mother is far, living in Brazil -My mother in law is a wonderful person and I really like her .So, she didn't deserve cook in such special day for her. I love to cook and hostess, make something good and that she like is no a big deal for I pick up the phone and ask her what she think about come to lunch here this year.She loves the idea I quickly started to plan the menu for the day.

Ravioles con tinta de calamar mesa

Thislast week was little regretful. With the summer coming soon, I have been missing the sea. The city that I live was a few kilometers of the sea and I always spent the most of my vacations in São Sebastião, north cost of Sao Paulo and many times in the hot days after the university class I went to Guarujá. We (my friends and I) take a sea bath, buy ice creams and we returned at home at the same afternoon. Guarujá is only 80 kilometers of São Paulo. Nostalgic that made me made for the mother’s day these raviolis that approached me of the salted smell of the sea.
