The Big Camera
My trusty Nikon is nearing its 6th birthday. It has wrapped around its 10,000-shot counter — twice — and is still going strong. Nobody has come out with a better camera for my needs in that time.
(and of course, this shot is taken with the point & shoot and so is underexposed due to the reflection of a light on the countertop. I elected not to correct it.)
Steak
Our meat CSA gave us an extra special gift in our share this month, in celebration of the end of our fourth year of membership. This is the smaller of the two rib-eye steaks. At 1.5 pounds, it’s more like a small roast. It will go into the sous vide machine in the morning, and get seared when I get home.

Dough
Dough rising overnight in the fridge sometimes reminds me of the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker, with the yeast turning basic ingredients into tasty pizza dough overnight.
Nog
In my 20s, I tried eggnog with rum in it and didn’t really like it.
Then in my 30s, I thought to try bourbon, and it was a huge improvement. Especially with some nutmeg.
Now in my 40s, I thought to try apple brandy, with the addition of a little cinnamon as well. I won’t be going back to bourbon.
What will my 50s bring?
