A real period piece. Barber shop on Bond Street, downtown Brooklyn. Way back in 1972, shot with my Nikonos II and Tri-X. I just love this image.

 Another vegetarian winter comfort food. Kale with cannellini beans. Very restorative. 

 Hopefully this will be the last major snow for this winter. I can only hope.

 Sliced steak with Chinese style stir fry. Filling and delicious.

 A digital image that i absolutely love. Shot at the NY Botanical Garden in The Bronx.

 I don't profess any ability to prepare Thai food although I'm very partial to it. These are gyoza dumpling that are sold frozen by Trader Joe. I sauteed them in olive and sesame oil, and soy sauce. I added a dash of water to produce that steamed flavor. They were accompanied with a stir fry of a yellow pepper, onions and broccoli spears that were lightly steamed. The result: a delicious meal different from my usual fare. 

 Shot a few summers ago on main Street, Catskill, NY. An artist had created a series of cat statues each having a different theme. I could not pass this one by. Il gatto del vino or the wine cat.
