I heard a saying in the summer in Italy and it came up in conversation last night...

A little bit of Italian wisdom? Here we go...

L'acqua vudde e lu purcu è alla muntagna.
(Dialect from Pasquale Pace from Castrovillari)

L'acqua vuddra e u' puarcu é ara muntagna.
(Dialect from Enrico from Cosenza)

L'acqua gujja e u' porcu e a la muntagna.
(Dialect from Gianluca from Catanzaro)

L'acqua bolle e il maiale è alla montagna.
(Italian)

The water is boiling and the pig is on the mountain.
(English)

Translation...when you want to do a certain task but you skip almost all of the steps to get there and then you don't have the basics to complete the task.

DON'T JUMP THE GUN.
First, you have to catch the pig, then prepare the pig, of course boil the water and 'EVVIVA'....cook that pig!!!
