Angus beef spezzatino or beef stew with potatoes and peas. A great restorative supper dish during these frigid times. It's also delicious.

 Rainbow over the Thogs Neck Bridge that spans Long Island Sound joining Queens with the Bronx in NYC. A similar bridge, the White Stone Bridge is a few miles west. NY has some great bridges.

 Penne rigate with artichokes in a light cream sauce. delightful. However good artichokes are not easy to find and they have become rater pricey. But the stomach comes first.

 

 This picture is worth posting again. A vintage Kodachrome from the summer of 1972 shot in Agrigento, Sicily. The valley of the temples, a vast area where some of the best preserved Greek temples in all Magna Grecia are located. It's now an architectural park totally full of tourists and shut at night. Way back then one could drive close and personal at any time pf the day or night. BTW, the moon is real;no Photoshop. 

 A delicious hot antipasto. Enough said.

 This is what a true Sicilian eggplant looks like in Sicily. Just picked early in the morning and bought at my favorite frutta e verdura establishment in Castellammare del Golfo. The flavor is totally heavenly.
