A well pampered dog at Corvallis, Oregon. What else can I add but lucky dog.

 An all zucchine pasta dish. Pappardelle with zucchine pesto and fried zucchine. Heavenly.

A man and his dog

 Classic Italian style beef stew or spezzatino. Superb.

 Court yard in lovely Ravenna where all the orchestra string instruments originated. As for the food, just spectacular; for example, the risotti are to die for.

 A great Sunday dish. Involtini di manzo or rolled up beef filled with strips of bacon and aromatic breadcrumbs along with mozzarella.  All rolled up in breadcrumbs and simply fried. A really flavorful dish. Here I accompanied them with sauteed broccoli. A leaf of bay leaves did the rest.

True love

 These two very special creatures who sadly are not with us anymore were a true couple. Animals give you pure and unconditional love and enrich your life.
