Italian potato gnocchi with Sicilian style meat sauce. Filling and delicious.

 I have raved on prior occasions about the sublime qualities of Anscochrome 64. An underrated slide film that could produce wonderful hues. This is from the greenhouse at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden dating back to the early seventies. The I mounted the superb 55m F 3.5 Micro Nikkor on my Nikon FTn. The result speaks for itself.

 Back to healthy foods. This is a minestra or hearty soup of chick peas and escarole with  some red cabbage. Incredibly fulfilling and savory.

 This is what call a fruit and vegetables market. Located in Piazza Petrolo in my beloved Castellammare del Golfo, Sicily. Here the stuff is very fresh and the prices are right. 

 Rigatoni with fried cauliflower and broccoli in a EVO and butter sauce. Very tasty.

 Colorful canoes at Cape Cod. Images are everywhere.

 One of the few truths I learned in life is that fried tastes better than broiled. Once in a while one must show the stomach who is the boss. This str fry of potatoes, onions peppers and bacon was superb.
