Photoshop latest update has neural filters and while most I don’t have any interest in, one caught my eye. I can now give Sandy an estimate of how I will look many (or maybe 2) years from now.
Pandemic Cooking #10
While perusing youtube I came across a Beef Wellington recipe from Chef John. I’ve always wanted to make this dish but the large size was a deterrent. This recipe calls for is individually wrapped portions kinda like a twinkie is to a cake, so I decided to give it a try.
Church Lady & the Burd
Sandy had a church event, and since she doesn’t get a chance to “dress up” very often I decided to shoot her. Of course she asked for Minnie Pearl to be included 🤦🏻♂️.
Chappell Hayes Observation Tower
Hatozaki & Hibiki
As mentioned previously I’ve been drinking a bit more lately. I received a couple nice Japanese Whiskeys (Whiskies?) for Christmas.
Don Edwards Sunrise
Woke up early and ran out to Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge for the sunrise. I now have 3 inches of mud caked on my boots.
Beak Brain
Minnie Pearl will sit for hours under Sandy’s chair as she works on her computer. She can be quite moody, so I shot this “moody” portrait.
Goatie goats
I get a kick outta buying calendars at 50% off this time of the year, when only the undesirable ones are left.
Chasing the sun
Happened to look out this evening and the sun was just peeking out through the clouds. I grab my camera and ran out there. While setting things up I realized I wasn’t wearing a mask so I had to run back to the house. By the time I got back it was to late.
New Years day 2021
With no physical get togethers advised, we decided to do a communal cooking kinda thingie.
For lunch Tom bought 4 lbs of the biggest damn shrimp I’ve ever seen. He politely ask me to do the honors. I decided on a Hawaiian Garlic Scampi recipe.
Meanwhile Paul smoked some salmon & Brenda made some pecan pies.
For dinner we purchased a 3 bone hunk of rib roast. I wrapped it in cheese cloth for a few days to dry it out. Next greased it up and rubbed on some seasoning. After about 3 hrs @ 250° I scorched it @ 500° for 10 mins. I also made a Yorkshire pudding, Paul sauteed mushrooms & onions and Marika did garlic mashed potatoes. We all delivered our dishes and while I can only speak for myself, I feel very fat. This was not a good diet day.
I kept quiet about the rib bones, they’re in our frig, shhhh.
