The wonders of frozen spinach. It's absolutely ridiculous to buy fresh spinach because as you cook them thy simply vanish. With the frozen variety there's no waste and no annoying washing. This is a classic Italian dish of pasta con le spinaci or pasta with spinach. However I added cut up potatoes to enhance the flavor and finished the dish with a nice spolverata or dusting of parmigiano and the game was over. Buon appetito.

 Cream of broccoli soup with home made croutons. Great on a cold day.

 Idyllic rural summer scene in western Massachusetts. 

 Italian penne rigate with mushroom and peas in a light butter sauce.

 I love this image of a fellow bibliophile. Shot in front of an old fashion book store in the Catskill region of NY State. Sadly these types of bookstores are getting harder to find. Is this progress?
