I do realise that many of you in the early stages of restrictions on your movements really won't care a hoot (umderstandably!) about what I am eating here in Venice, but when you are quarantined, as we have been for about 10 days now, food and mealtimes become even more important than usual. lWe can go out to shop for food. Beautiful fresh food is plentiful. There are no empty shelves, or panic buying. Here are some photos taken on Saturday.
Fresh meat, fish, fruit and veg
So many kitchen and toilet rolls they have to stack them in the aisles..
Easter eggs....
Beautifully wrapped Panetonne
Having said all that....
I was delighted to find a copy of one of my favourite books about Venice here in the apartment.
Heather loves to cook.
How lucky am I?
She made risotto di asparigi e scampi.
It was absolutely delicious with a wine from the Veneto.
From the same book I made us a Rossini (like a Bellini but with strawbeerries).
A cup of strawberries blended with a tsp of lemon juice and a tsp of sugar topped up with prosecco. Beautiful.
This thoughtful gift of a lightweight portable blender has come in handy for smoothies and Rossinis. Thanks guys.
