Florence, 1969. The Davide by Michelangelo. Stunning in a way that leaves one in awe. An old Tr-X 35mm shot taken long ago and far away. 

 Spezzatino con carciofi or beef stew with artichokes. A super delicious dish especially when artichokes are in season

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.

 

The old meets the new. Shot at the Museum at Chatam, Massachusetts.

                    Foot prints on snow. I know it's corny but I'm allowed to be trite at times.

 

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