I prepare lentils with cauliflower often especially during the fall and winter. This time I added escarole to the minestra for a more interesting flavor, Needless to say this is a delicious and healthful soup.

 The beauty of New York city. Children of all colors on a school trip at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

 Downtown Manhattan, just how I like to remember it.

 Lancaster County PA. Amish children shot with a Leica M-4, the superb 50mm Summicron on good old Kodachrome II. "I remember it well......."

 Penne rigare with potatoes and sausage, a really delicious dish.
