Views of food from around the world
Antipasto at Tenuta Lenzini, a Villa and Winery in Tuscany near Lucca, Italy. Image taken with a Nikon 1 V2 camera and 6.7-13 mm VR lens (ISO 160, 13 mm, f/5.6, 1/30 sec).
When I woke up this morning, it was snowing. There was 4-6 inches on the ground and still snowing. I didn’t need to go out and decided to make some stone soup with leftovers in the refrigerator.
Stone Soup Recipe: 1 Bag (26 oz) Bob’s Red Mill Whole Grains and Beans Soup Mix, Water (8 quarts), Knorr Chicken Flavor Bouillon (8 tbs), 2 Chopped Red Onions, 1 Chopped Celery Heart, 8 Chopped Garlic Cloves, and all of the leftover pork roast, chicken, and rib-roast in the fridge chopped into small pieces. Brought to a boil, then simmered for 4 hours. When done enough to feed an army… More leftovers to be frozen. Someday maybe I will learn to cook for one.
Bread Recipe: Whole Wheat Flour (1 cup); White Flour (1 cup); Rye Flour (0.5 cup); brown sugar (2 tbs); dry milk (1 tbs); caraway seed (2 tsp); fennel seed (1 tsp); crystallized ginger (0.5 tsp); star anise (1 dry star ground up); salt (1 tsp); egg (1 medium); oil (1 tbs); water (7/8 cup). Above ingredients added to Panasonic Bread Bakery. Yeast (1 tsp) added to yeast hopper and the unit set for Whole Wheat Bread (Rapid) and started. Three hours later, the loaf of bread was removed and allowed to cool.
Wild Turkey in Mesa Verde National Park. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 300 mm f/2.8 VR lens + 1.7 TC-E II (ISO 200, 500 mm, f/8, 1/400 sec).
In preparation for an upcoming trip to Norway, I am going to do several posts revisiting a family trip to Norway in 2007. Some of images have been posted before, and some will be new. The trip started in Oslo. I flew in from New Jersey, and the rest of the family flew in from Florida. All together, I think there were 22-24 in the group. On this first day, we toured Oslo. At the end of the day we had pizza with Arnie. It took a fisheye lens to get the whole group in one image. During this trip, I was using a Nikon D2xs camera with 7 lenses (10.5 mm fisheye, 12-24 mm, 28-70 mm, 35 mm, 50 mm, 80-400 mm, and 85 mm). For my upcoming trip, I want to travel lighter.
