Instead, I get daily all my fresh fruits and veggies from the fruttivendoli in my street in Venice which sell mostly local stuff. Fear not, though... My goodies will last me the whole summer since I don't plan to schlep back to the hypermarket soon!Michelle-aneous Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798093699932942873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558469.post-63183158477619825542009-06-06T00:21:55.571-04:002009-06-06T00:21:55.571-04:00Michelle, you might eat more low calories if you h...Michelle, you might eat more low calories if you had put more "fresh fruit and veggies" in your cestino.

Did the bolognesi eat them differently??Michelle-aneous Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14798093699932942873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558469.post-71171301252841385212009-06-05T17:19:50.011-04:002009-06-05T17:19:50.011-04:00In Bologna the greens were called Barba di Negus, ...In Bologna the greens were called Barba di Negus, I have never forgotten them, and like fava beans, snag them whenever I spy them outside their home region...nanhttp://livingveniceblog.comnoreply@blogger.com
