Buon Giorno! It has been awhile since the last posting.   I have been very busy painting watercolors almost every day, as I am planning an exhibition   in a few months. This will be a short read for you.   There are two things on my mind.   I want to mention a dish served in Venezia, which is common to the people who live in the Veneto.   When I was a kid, my mother served this dish about once a month, and I hated it so much that I put a mountain of ketchup on it to survive the meal.   She didn’t really know how to cook it like the people here do.   That dish is liver and onions, commonly know here as fegato alla Veneziana. featured with soft polenta When we have guests from abroad, I always encourage them to try it.   I tell them if they don’t like it they can have what I have ordered, that way they won’t miss a chance to taste a regional dish.   This weekend I ordered it in a restaurant in the hills called Colli Euganei, south of Padova.   One can find many good places
