Restore yourselves

Today as you return from buying what usually turns out to be needles items, you will need a heavy soup to restore you from the inclemency of the nasty weather. This is not really becoming a food blog but I fear that as I spend more time cooking it may become one. Stay tunes and keep visiting. In that case I will share with you my many recipes of Italian food with naturally a strong Sicilian bent. This is the best cuisine hands down. It is tasty, good for you and many dishes are very fast and simple. It's no wonder the most popular cuisine. Mangiate; mangiate bene; mangiate all'italiana.

Have yourself a very sweet weekend

What can I say

Some go to the extreme to decorate their homes for Christmas. Their homes becomes the functional equivalents of fruit cakes. To much is just that. Actually these homes are clustered in specific areas so a there's a great deal of competition. Go figure. To each is own, they mean well and they are very good to the utility company.

The philosopher

In Coney Island they call this man the philosopher. Just engage him verbally and he talks and carries on, just like any pholosopher.

Looking for any image

If you look you will find something to shoot. Thanks to smart phones this task gets easies. Just keep your eyes open.

Rome, the Tiber

Mangia, mangia!
