Cook date: April 25, 2020 A couple of months ago Carla made a curry. It was quite nice and I realized I don’t cook much in the way of Asian cuisine. My palate leans more to southwest and Mexican cooking. I think the last time I made anything remotely related to Asian food was when …
Here is a picture from my workflow of importing photos from a camera SD card into LightRoom mobile; then exporting them to an SSD drive connected to my iPad. Let’s see if I can get a picture posted from the SSD drive The first step was to trim it. I can’t remember ever having to …
Prepared: April 4, 2020 With the Corona Virus raging around us we have been thinking “comfort food”; a nice hearty bean soup/stew was in order. I’ve made this dish at least twice before when I called it Senate Bean Soup: April 2014 and again in January 2015. I had a bag of white beans from …
March 30, 2019 We’ve been self-isolated because of COVID-19 for a couple of weeks now and are doing pretty well: Carla and I are together – it’s tough for people who live alone; we are using Google Hangouts and Facetime to keep up with friends and family, and we get out every day to walk …
March 17, 2020 This fear of catching COVID-19 has really slowed our lives down; what better escape than to cook.

February 2, 2020 We interrupt the posts on our Arizona trip for this important bulletin. For more years than I can keep track – going back to at least 2013 (first blog post I can find) – we’ve hosted a Super Bowl party with a small group of close friends. Since our youngest son moved …
Date: January 14, 2020 This was my third practice work with my Sony A6600 camera. I’d done outside foliage, and trains, today it was cooking. I tried a recipe I had done before but that only rated three stars. My notes had some ideas about what could be done to get another star. Let’s get …
Cook Date: August 24, 1019 Last spring I bought a Mak 2 Star pellet grill; it worked very well for me so I sold my Weber kettle charcoal grill and my Weber gas grill figuring the Mak could do it all: low ‘n slow as well as high temp searing and grilling. The new grill …
Date: July 20, 2019 My Sister-in-Law’s garden is in full bloom. She came over for dinner this evening and brought along four different kinds of squash. It was a beautiful night so I started up the grill. I broke out my Mak grilling pan for the first time. After they had a head start, I …
