Warren, Connecticut. Some people see Jesus in their Latte foam. I might see this pancake (in the shape of an apple) as a sign that Apple will ship a tablet, break $300 and dump AT&T as their iPhone carrier this year.
Too bad I don’t believe in signs.
The pancakes were great this morning.

Back to the Land
This is a wonderful Thanksgiving essay by the artist Maira Kalman. It’s a must read for anyone interested in food and how we think about it.
Her excellent New York Times column And the Pursuit of Happiness has an RSS feed.

John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in Los Angeles. You have to love this guy and if I lived in LA and drank soda I’d buy it from him. What a great guy with a great philosophy.
Note: Andrew is on a roll today.

Warren, Connecticut. While Anne was at school giving SATs I peeled the rest of the fruit. Get some good driving house music on the iPod, sharpen the paring knife and dig in. Fruit peeled in no time (well, two hours).
Anne came home and made up enough crust dough for eight pies (our guestimate, about right). [...]

Mark Menjivar: You Are What You Eat
Click on “projects” and then, “you are what you eat.” Fascinating. Don’t forget to read the artist’s statement and image captions.

Warren, Connecticut. My wife Anne and our friend Joy Brown finishing up the first batch of what turned out to be ten apple pies (ten more to go). My job was already done, I peeled all the fruit and at this point my hands are so tired I can hardly hold the camera.
Some of the [...]

Farmers use vending machines to sell produce
In an effort to save money and labor, a farm in Germany has begun selling fresh, local produce from vending machines. First to get them? Hiking trails.
What a great idea. Go into the wild and find a vending machine with everything you need.

Great collection of images, the food for the fast breaking [...]

Waterbury, Connecticut. Warming up with some hot sauce for the challenge of shooting my granddaughter Erin’s 7th birthday party.

New York City. Six of us had a great Ethiopian dinner in Greenwich Village last night. The restaurant is below ground level so shooting this clear water glass enabled me to angle up and catch the light on the street.

I came across The Wednesday Chef while looking at her review of a no knead bread recipe. As an old clay wedger it’s not like I don’t like kneading, I do, but I thought this “kneadless” bread recipe might be worth an experiment or two. I have yet to try it.
Here’s the original recipe in [...]

Warren, Connecticut. This is approximately one apple pie’s worth of apples, pears, quince. Click on the image to go up to flickr where there are notes on each apple showing which is which.

Warren, Connecticut. This is a popular apple, a spy-gold which is a modern hybrid (bred combination) of northern spy (tart) and golden delicious (sweet). The stem is where the apple hangs from the tree and through which it receives all of its nutrients as it grows and ripens.

Warren, Connecticut. Went up to Averill Farm to buy apples, pears, and quinces for our apple pie baking marathon this weekend. Figured I’d get them now so I could photograph them before they get "pied." Got them all washed and lined up regiment style for their group picture.
These bosc pears are maybe the most photographed [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Finally, on Halloween, I picked the pumpkins in our "patch" and lined them up. We have 30 pumpkins and 15 turban squashes. None of the pumpkins are "state fair champions" but they’ll be nice pumpkin pies and squash for our one experiment with Afghan cooking: a chili like dish over pumpkin and before [...]

Warren, Connecticut. We’ve been buying bread from a bakery in the next town for years, and it’s great stuff. However, it’s expensive as they use all organic and high-end ingredients. They recently raised their already high prices, and that was the tipping point for me. I got my wife to teach me how to bake [...]
