My flickr contact Sarah posted a photo and simple explanation on skinning tomatoes: “Stab the skins and then pour boiling water over them, empty it and fill the bowl with cold water. The skins then fall off the tomatoes with no effort at all, hurrah!”
“Second tip - don’t do too many at a time, as [...]

Warren, Connecticut. I’m standing here cooking my morning oatmeal and while I’m zoning out stirring it I’m watching an arc of intense sunlight move across the butcher block table. I can see that the light will eventually strike the salt and pepper shakers so I let the oatmeal simmer while I set up camera and [...]

Warren, Connecticut. After a summer of rain and odd weather where we thought our garden would be a failure it is now pumping out tomatoes of all kinds daily. There are only so many fresh tomatoes we want to eat so when we’re overrun we peel them and cook them down into sauce and freeze [...]

Warren, Connecticut. The bright sunlight in the doorway behind my morning glass of orange juice gave it a radioactive glow.

Warren, Connecticut. A lone dwarf yellow tomato escapes being caught in my macro lens’ bokeh sauce. A bowl of ripe, yellow plumb tomatoes is both a photographic and gustatory opportunity and I must say, I’ve taken full advantage of both.

Warren, Connecticut. A few years back we bought some peach seedlings and put them in, not really expecting to get much fruit out of them for five years. This year, maybe because they got so much water from rain, they all exploded with peaches, one in particular almost fell over under the weight of the [...]

Warren, Connecticut. Last year our garden fell short in the tomato department so this year my wife planted three rows figuring something might come of it. We hit the jackpot: we’ve been picking at least twenty a day like this one and there’s no end in site. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, like [...]

Jackson Heights, New York. Okay, call me a provincial dork but I love ethnic markets and this Indian market had great stuff including a can of what look like garbanzo beans with these two dudes on the label symbolizing the quality of the product. Are these guys the Indian equivalent of Betty Crocker? Uncle Ben?

Jackson Heights, New York. These are (I think) some kind of exotic squash at an outdoor Indian grocery. If not squash then cucumbers. If not cucumbers then miniature Zeppelins.

Jackson Heights, New York. We went out to Queens to the heavily Indian neighborhood of Jackson Heights for a great Indian dinner and afterwards we strolled around and into various ethnic grocery stores. Besides huge bags of turmeric and cumin that cost next to nothing there were bags of rice from various countries other than [...]

A quick (and great) dinner with friends at Ollie’s Noodle Shop and Grille in New York before we hit the train for home.

Our Macworld group went to lunch and hey, people started ordering beer and the restaurant had one of my all-time fav beers: Widmer Hefeweizen, a Portland, Oregon micro-brew that we can’t get on tap back here in Connecticut, so what the heck.
I can see it now: Carlos will be world famous for shooting Vincent in [...]

Our Macworld group went out for lunch at the best dim sum restaurant I’ve ever been at (Mamen, help with name please) and I had a Tsingtao a bit earlier in the day than I generally drink beer.
All of the food and the people in our group were so photogenic and I was sitting at [...]

This is a challah-like bread (egg bread) minus some of the eggs and with raisins. Anne just made six of them and the house smells pretty darn good, wish there was a way to get that smell into an image.
On Christmas morning she’ll heat up a few of these and make a glaze of powdered [...]

Note that even a relatively fancy place like Sardi’s has dented caps on salt and pepper shakers. Maybe after this picture gets around they’ll clean up their act.
The cool thing about a place like (a theater district landmark) this is that my 90 year old mother ate there when she was a young “hottie” in [...]

The pizza joint was pretty sepia colored anyway so I thought I’d push it over the top a bit with sepia. I’m developing a salt and pepper shaker fetish. I like the lighting and reflection possibilities in restaurants I guess.

Pam Darling’s peppers from her garden near Kansas City. If they’re as good as her bread and butter pickles we’re in for a treat.

I think Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. No religion. No commercialism. Just a family get-together and a good meal. Nice.
While everyone in my family was busy whipping cream and cutting pies I looked out over our table and considered how lucky we are to be able to have a meal like this. I’m thankful.
I am [...]

If you make the whipped cream you get to lick the beaters. Them’s the rules. Erin’s been waiting patiently (well, not so patiently) until she was old enough to hold the mixer. This year she did it and here she is reaping her reward. Thanksgiving, 2005.
