Smoked tomatoes in smoker

Smoked tomatoes! I give them about an hour at 250F and then freeze them.

Coffee carafe and mugs. I’m trying different knobs for the lid, this is today’s knob!

I’m currently doing a glaze workshop and am working with some combos I’ve never thought of before- I’m really happy with the results I’m getting!

Paprika/garlic pork kebabs, red onion/Fresno chile green beans, and thyme/garlic potatoes - all on some plates I made last year.

I like to braise octopus before grilling. Add 1/2 cup each of evoo and red wine vinegar to water, and 1 head garlic+bunch of thyme. Dip octopus in boiling water for 10 seconds and remove for 1 minute. Repeat 5 times then leave in water at low simmer for 30 minutes

At this point I have a hard time feeling any difference between >30 year old AF cameras! Focus and recompose is pretty much the only way to work with any AF from the 80’s and it works fine for that

You have to be careful with that setup - you might knock someone out when you turn around!

This week’s film camera - F4! With a Tamron 28-105mm f/2.8 and Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 D. This is a beast of a camera, especially with that zoom.
