Nessuno si senta al sicuro - Luigi Guicciardi

La terza indagine del commissario Torrisi Se siete amanti dei gialli, e conoscete Modena, è praticamente impossibile che non abbiate mai sentito parlare e/o letto nulla di Luigi Guicciardi, autore che ha trasformato questa cittadina emiliana (ok, in passato forse più tranquilla di ora) letterariamente quasi in una novella Cabot Cove, continuando ad ambientarvi omicidi su omicidi per ormai…

Winter Wednesdays Vol. 1

Above Photo: C'mon!

The beginning of Winter Wednesdays! Did you ask for it? No? Are you getting it? Yes!

BAKING/COOKING

On New Year’s Day, I made this pork tenderloin with a honey garlic sauce that was actually pretty good for a last minute recipe.

CRAVING

Snow. I need it. It’s been so windy and rainy in New York this week that I’m counting down the days that I’ll hopefully see a snowstorm in Ontario this weekend.

EATING

Went to the restaurant Torrisi (by the Carbone people) and it was overrated. I think 2024 is the year that I stop going to trendy places. There’s rarely any substance. We tried the zeppole ham appetizer (which was really good), the lunch sandwich (the bread was phenomenal, but the meat was too fatty), two pastas that were only okay and a great tiramisu dessert. Is that worth the $100 per person it was? Heavens no.

EXPERIENCING

I saw the new fashion exhibit Women Dressing Women at The Met, so I’ll do a full post on it this weekend.

LOVING

The thinnest, greatest pizza I’ve had in years at Emmett’s on Grove (we ordered the Hot Girl and added pineapple to it). And is it just me or are cutesy menu names embarrassing? Always make me cringe.

SHOPPING

Trying to find these love stamps at the post offices near me and they are annoyingly sold old everywhere.

WATCHING

I saw the movie Air last night and it was good. It easily could’ve been cut thirty minutes, sure. And not to be harsh, but it did just feel like a two hour Wikipedia page entry.

WEARING

My new Top Shop coat. I waited until the Nordstrom sale when it was $85 and now she’s all mine.

TAYLOR SWIFT Out for dinner at Torrisi in New York City | October 12, 2024

Bir kadının dikkati asla dağılmaz , düşündüğünüzden çok daha fazlasını görür ve bir şeyi fark etmiyormuş gibi yaptığında bunun nedeni zaten yeterince görmüş olmasıdır .

Back at one of my favorites. Had to get the cucumber salad and a filthy martini.

Read the most insane reasons 10 abusive mothers gave for “transitioning” their child.

Dr. Anne Georgulas’s 7 yo son wanted a girl toy in a McDonalds happy meal and liked a Disney princess

Mary Carter’s 3 yo son looked sad one day. When she asked him why, he said because he was a boy. Mary immediately bought hair ties, gave him pigtails, and “transitioned” him

Emily Torrisi’s daughter liked trucks at 1; boys clothing at 2 and was “transitioned” at 5 yo

Klara Jeynes’s daughter didn’t like pig tails at 18 months; rejected “stereotypical girl clothes” at 2; was “transitioned” at 3 yo

Megan Goebel’s 18 month old played with his sisters clothes and nail polish; he played dress up in preschool; Megan said his obsession with a headband was a “sign”; the “final test” was him not liking t-ball at 4

[ Note: I previously covered this one. ]

Jeanette Jennings’s 3 yo son unbuttoned his onesie and pulled it down “like a dress”

Molly Maxwell’s son “went nuts” over dresses at 18 months; liked shoes, tiaras, and pink; rejected trucks at 2; was “transitioned” at 4 yo

Su Penn’s daughter didn’t like a dress in a magazine and wanted a boy haircut at 2; picked male pronouns at a transgender conference at 5

Beth Clawson’s 2 yo son wouldn’t leave the house without a tutu. Wore towels on his head to mimic long hair

Debi Jackson’s son liked wearing jewelry and “tucked his genitals away” at 2; wanted long hair and liked nail polish, female characters, dresses at 3

BONUS:

Child loving "raw green vegetables" was a sign of transgenderism, mother claims in viral video.

Mafia: The Old Country - The Initiation Trailer

Mafia: The Old Country will launch for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam in summer 2025.

“Mafia: The Old Country is a love letter to old-style, gritty Mafia stories where players can uncover the origins of organized crime,” said Hangar 13 president Nick Baynes in a press release. “Everyone at Hangar 13 is committed to creating the most authentic and intense story of the franchise, and we can’t wait for players to experience the journey with Enzo.”

Stills

Overview

Mafia: The Old Country introduces the brutal criminal underworld of 1900s Sicily. Marking the start of a new crime saga for the acclaimed Mafia franchise, Mafia: The Old Country is an all-new story set in the Mafia universe, harkening back to the roots of organized crime with a compelling new cast of characters. As a linear, narrative-driven game, Mafia: The Old Country is a focused package perfect for fans looking to engross themselves in an unfamiliar world of danger and intrigue. The graphically stunning cinematic experience features a story grounded in the brutal world of organized crime that authentically immerses players with dangerous combat systems featuring high-stakes, grounded stealth and gunplay mechanics. Mafia: The Old Country introduces a new, original protagonist for players to embody. Enzo’s story unfolds in a time when skill with a stiletto blade was a deadly asset, a lupara sawed-off shotgun was a go-to firearm, murderous vendettas raged for decades, and mafiosi patrolled their protection rackets on foot, horseback, or behind the wheel of turn-of-the-century motorcars. Through grit and determination, Enzo has survived a childhood of indentured labor in Sicily’s hellish sulfur mines. Now, through a twist of fate, he has the opportunity to join Don Torrisi’s crime family, and will do whatever it takes to carve out a better life for himself. By swearing an oath, Enzo has committed himself to the Torrisi family’s code of honor, with all the power and hardship it entails. He must never forget this simple truth: Family Takes Sacrifice.

[nov1963]

The rough-hewn beauty of Sicily's rugged countryside is a stark contrast to the grime of urban alleyways—but the treachery and violence of this gangland run just as deep.

You're the antihero of this thrilling 1900s story, living out every tense moment of Enzo's descent into Sicily’s clandestine criminal underworld. Soak in sun-drenched Mediterranean scenery with picture-perfect visuals powered by Unreal Engine 5, and immerse yourself in every period-authentic detail of this classic crime drama.

Engage in life-or-death combat, be it up close with a blade or from afar with a variety of firearms. To prove himself worthy in the Torrisi family, Enzo will have to master all the tools of the trade, including period-authentic handguns, rifles, and shotguns, to overcome any odds and doggedly eliminate the Don's enemies.

To reach your next target or make a hurried getaway, you'll need to gallop on horseback across cobbled streets and open fields, or speed down dirt roads in authentic turn-of-the-century automobiles.
