I hope you had a lovely Easter, Monica. I never get bored of learning about the endless regional food specialties of your wonderful country. Also, you speak English how I wish I spoke Italian, and your willingness to take a chance doing it on video is enviable. You're much braver than me!

Grazie Tim, your words are precious and very supportive! We have had a beautiful Easter and Pasquetta and, of course, I cooked a lot!

We were able to spend a lovely Pasquetta in Lombardia (the town of Gussago) with wonderful Italian friends last year, enjoying a delicious rotisserie spiedo which I think is very regional. I wish I could share pictures in comments because I think you would enjoy them. After we toured the city of Brescia with them. It was a full, happy day that I will always remember fondly.

Dan! You make my day, true. Da quello che leggo il tuo italiano è sicuramente di livello alto considerando quanto lo scrivi bene. Grazie e buona cucina, Monica
