For reasons beyond my understanding, #Weebly deleted the site about #books and #Venice I had been working on for over a year. Their “support” team is unresponsive. I’m a little crushed. #ReadingVenice

Brilliant

A wonderful exhibition about writer #MarioRigoniStern highlights his WW2 experiences, his friendship with Primo Levi and his lifelong passion for nature, especially his native mountains around Asiago.

I love it that the EMERGENCY EXIT sign is reflected in this #selportrait of Edvard #Munch, now on display at the Candiani Center in #Venice-Mestre

I use walnuts to make sage pesto (with sage and parsley), and also in this absolutely amazing eggplant soup:

You don’t need a barbecue to conjure these smoky, sun-ripened dishes of chilled aubergine soup, fish in vine leaves and a zippy bulgur wheat salad

I used to go to a restaurant where they served a green salad with toasted hazelnuts and a mustard vinaigrette – it was absolutely heavenly!

Fresh #gnocchi topped with chopped #walnuts and #parsley – simply scrumptious

Very kind of you to train Paul for when he’ll visit you in Venice.
