The Newtown Creek inQueens, NYC. Despite it's po;ution and thus it's bad reputation, this photo makes it almost look romantic. 

 A nice combination. Spaghetti with peas and potatoes along with the usual soffritto and bacon to give a more hearty flavor. Quite nice.

This gorgeous camellia from my garden warms up the heart. 

 After the big Easter meal, a minestrone hits the spot.

Happy Easter, Buona Pasqua

 All the best and thanks for stopping by. This is a true labor of joy.

 Flushing Meadows Park, Queens, NYC. The NY State pavilion of the 1974 World's Fair. Is this where  men in black keep the aliens from outer space? LOL. 

 Grilled salmon with red peppers and pomodorini. Just delightful.
