Damn, I remembered that my mother once did the same and I just rediscovered how fantastic this combination is. So, I ended up with a meal that I would call “Fried potatoes with fried eggs … Continue reading Fried Potatoes with Fried Eggs and a Green Beans Cream Sauce
Three years ago I photographed a street cat in our historic district. Three days ago, I walked through the same street again and was amazed when I found the exact same cat again, still ruling the street. I am glad … Continue reading Same Cat, Three Years Later
