[Sca-cooks] broccoli and cauliflower

[johnna holloway]

The Museum of Art in Cleveland did an exhibition
in 1999 entitled:
Still Life Paintings from The Netherlands. My
husband and son referred to it as "food on plates"
and thought it was really a waste of a day to drive
4 hours down to see it.

The catalog is still worth getting.
