Grandma Duck has actually been pretending to be Scrooge's sister for decades. She wants to appear younger.

A fireplace, a Romeo y Julieta to smoke slowly, and some cognac from across the Alps... Shadows of Waits and Conte; wonderful, it musically returns to its peak after the two previous ones, which were great but a bit more "lukewarm."

The first paragraph was indeed avoidable; we can already reason about the second. The album hits overwhelming peaks. Better than the previous two (which are excellent but less impactful).

If I think about his discography up to "E' arrivato un bastimento" and in the meantime listen to this colossal "sbandata," I feel a bit lost. Even Ligabue managed to do better in the '90s.

A rundown of 7-8 truly useless trinkets with pathetic lyrics. A few interesting gems like "Tango della buena suerte," "Isola grande," "Nuages sulle note," and songs in the style of "corus ecclesiae," but overall the album doesn't take off. 2.5

The cover brings joy. And "blues" even more :-D

CRUMBLY CAKE - INGREDIENTS: 200g white flour, 200g fine yellow flour, tipo fioretto, 200g chopped almonds, 200g sugar, 100g lard, 100g butter (or if preferred, just 200g of butter or just 200g of lard), 2 egg yolks, grated lemon zest, vanilla. METHOD: mix the dry ingredients (white and yellow flours, almonds, sugar), along with the aromatics if desired and the egg yolks. Then add the fats (softened lard and butter) at room temperature. Quickly blend everything together, creating not a homogeneous dough, but small clumps (no larger than 1.5 cm in diameter), which will be sprinkled into the buttered mold. It should form a layer a couple of centimeters thick (using your hands, but without flattening the clumps), which will be baked in a preheated oven (175°) until golden and dry. To check for doneness, monitor the color of the cake which should be golden and have toasted almonds.

METHOD Stick the meat with a few strips of pancetta. Heat two tablespoons of oil with a bit of butter and brown the meat in it.

Pour a ladle of hot water over everything. Once boiling, lower the heat and continue cooking for 2 hours. When cooking is complete, remove the meat and pass the sauce through a food mill, using it to garnish the serving dish.
