The Reader looks more than dubious that somehow I can connect fishing for words to the watercoloured fish on a platter surrounded with leafy, green things, yellow-ish squiggles and red rounds that may or may not look like small, yet delicious potatoes.
I can’t so I won’t.
No surprise there, The Reader smirks.
Very few words come to mind that make connections between titles and decisions made just because they can be made. This noble attempt, however, didn’t hurt or harm…globally.
In a beautiful, romantic language la pesca di parole Italiane softens the fact that not every supposed good idea in the formulated decision-making process…is really a good idea at all.
The Reader says I’ve made my point.
Ciao.
I think it’s a great compilation, the words and the water colour. And the fish looks like he understands, or maybe he just wish not to be served on a platter….

The fish on the platter brings two memories to mind.
Decades ago, when I lived alone, I would pull out my sketch pad and draw images of ingredients which I had purchased prior to making a meal, such as whole fish. Sort of Leonardo di Vinci style. Now, being married and cooking together, such delays in meal preparation would not go over well.
While traveling in Italy 2 years ago, at certain restaurants, the waiter would bring a platter of fish over to our table. We would select which fish we wanted, negotiate how to prepare it (hint, do what the waiter suggested) then wait 45 – 60 minutes for the fish to be prepared. Ah, the joy of dinning that emphasizes your companionship rather than fast-services.

Back at you, My Darling….but keep mucking whilst I send my quick yet brief best thoughts your way. Stop praying for Portland snow and ice we’ve all had just about enough, My Love. Instead…how about you begin to concentrate heavily yet reverently on a homily extolling the benefits of job trading between government workers and movie stars. Just a thought…..XXRR
