Shrimp Po' Boy
Originally a classic from Louisiana, this po’ boy sandwich is my creation of breaded shrimp, lettuce, tomato and my secret dressing on a fresh baguette.

Chilled Rice Salad
Freddo insalata di riso
I have always disliked the solutions, found in so many newspaper or magazine supplements, for "meals in X amount of minutes" that start off with "put sixteen ounces of cooked whatever in a bowl or pan". It assumes that somewhere along the line I had the time to cook the whatever. However, one thing I almost always have on hand is cooked rice. I use it in stir fry, scramble it in eggs, or try to just reheat it - which never seems quite right. Recently, I came upon a new way to use it.
A quick and easy meal for a hot summer night, assuming one has leftover rice, like I do. Just combine cold basmati rice with parsley, tomato, and cucumber in whatever proportions suit your fancy. I recommend topping with Italian salad dressing, but your taste may vary.

Skillet Steak

| Skillet Steak with Fried Egg |
Steak and eggs, another timeless meal. Many a long haul has been fueled with nothing else. Except may be grits. And, biscuits. Don't forget the biscuits. Guess I will have to cook this meal again and do it up right.

The Visual Science Lab.: The roaring debate over small differences in digital sensor sizes masks the reality that we've lost powerful visual tools. Caution: Many Words.

I like Kirk Tuck's photography and I like his writing. This article is fairly typical of his work on both sides of the equation, But, it, and a companion piece a couple of days later both seem to miss a crucial point.
A good photographer can make a good image with any camera you give him. Clearly, it will not be the same image. A pinhole camera can not do the work of a DSLR. But, it can still be a powerful image. The power is not in the camera. It is in the eye behind it,
