Although walking, biking and golfing continue to be part of our active lifestyle, we three have been doing a lot of cooking. Since it has been a bit chilly and we have lots of time; looking for recipes, making lists, shopping for food, cooking food and dining out have been some of our favourite pastimes. In fact, I think we made a list of "places to eat" on the first day we arrived in Venice.
We seem to have fallen into a natural rhythm of taking turns preparing meals. I have favored vegetarian, while both Janet and Michelle have chosen seafood. Recent ingredients have included, among others, fresh ginger, garbanzo beans, coconut milk, shrimp and tilapia.
Seafood has been the food of choice at The Myakka River Oyster Bar and at Robbie's Reef. Brunch at the very popular Peach's breakfast restaurant was delicious and very reasonably priced. Black Gold Coffee Roasters has great coffee and on site made truffles in several flavours.

Today Janet and I went to the Art and Craft Festival which took over a couple of blocks in downtown Venice. My favourite booths were all food related. Purchases were made at the kettle corn booth, the peanut brittle booth, the funnel cake booth and the home made, gluten free pasta booth.
The weather forecast indicates warmer weather is coming our way. Perhaps our focus will switch back to more active pursuits.
