My first attempt at making corn chowder. I saw some really fresh corn and immediately thought of my dear and sadly departed father in law who made delicious chowders. As you might have guessed he wasn't Italian. I didn't have his recipe but I sort of figured it out. The result was a delicious and satisfying dish that differed slightly because I had to use olive oil. Thanks grandpa Wilbur, you are greatly missed

 Another archival vintage slide. I thought I was seeing the East River Drive before the exit to the George Washington Bridge in Manhattan. Very similar structures. Shot on Agfachrome 50 with a FT and the super 50mm F 1.4 FL lens. What memories.

 This dish of cheese ravioli with simple tomato sauce is what summer is all about. I added mint leaves for a more engaging flavor. Simple and delicious.

 Newport, Rhode Island; a town so wealthy that this musical couple didn't have a recepticle to collect money. They played delightfully.

 Risotto with beans and thick bacon. My own recipe. A filling and delicious dish.

 Another vintage archival find.Dover, Englang way back in August, 1969. The white cliffs dominate the town. Children buying ice cream on the street. Shot originally on Agfachrome 50 but it has turned purple so I converted toblack and white. I used my Canon FT with the 28mm F3.5 FL lens.

Fried baccala or salted cod is one of my favorite dishes, it'a indispensable at the Christmas eve supper, for example, I like it anytime. First it must be soaked in water for at least a day while changin the water at least three times and then it's ready to prepare. There are innumerable ways to cook it but I prefer to prepare a pastella, batter, and fry it in olive oil. Just superb.
