COMMENTS:

Patience worked today so it was 8 PM when we sat down to dinner...late for us, but normal for some, especially the Italians. When I was in Bologna I was usually the first one in the restaurant for dinner...they didn't open until 7 or 7:30 in the evening. But I digress because I'm embarrassed to say that P and I both rated this dish as delicious! We try to be critical, honest we do.

And the cherry tomatoes? They were a last minute addition to add color for the photo.
