The Coffee House

[SquarePeg40 1]

I follow a similar recipe limr. Roasted with salt, pepper, garlic salt and oregano. It's a great sweet n salty side dish. So much better than that grossly sweet marshmallow concoction everyone makes at Thanksgiving.

Gary uses this one:

Dehydrator

It gets more use by others than himself.

@Frank: These puppies are used to preserve foods. Pixmedic uses his for meats and makes jerky. Gary uses his mainly for the extra fruits and veggies from the yard. He has dried oranges, persimmons, peppers, apples, et al.

I don't dehydrate foods, and if I buy another kitchen tool, my wife might disown me even if it means she'll go hungry as a result, haha.

First day with students today. Feels good to get back into that groove. I might even take some photos for the one week challenge today. Maybe.

How do you prep your fruit for drying? Unless I puree and use the Jerky tool, to squeeze out bands, mine doesn't seem to do well.

I like baked sweet potatoes, or a variation of thick cut fries. Never tried your mix of seasonings SharonCat, I might try that. If I remember next time I have sweet potatoes, that'll be the tricky part.

Well as long as you are all considerate enough to let me moan and groan... better last night but a rough getting going this morning. I don't know what I did over the weekend... not like I haven't had something similar just not in a long time. Funny (odd, not ha ha) how after a stroke recovery can go on for years but stuff can come back you thought was well behind you. Now that I think of it, it is funny ha ha too sometimes. My leg has a mind of its own, I used to be able to tell when the message wasn't getting thru (all that distance from the brain to the leg and slow healing nerves). You know, I used to not be able to feel it so much, that's some of it, thanks leg for communicating so well to the brain that you ache! lol and are being a total PITA this week.

My goodness, I can only stand the news for a short time at this point, I didn't expect worse flood news from Texas today. Heartbreaking story of a little girl they rescued but the mom had already not made it. Now they're having to relocate people in a shelter that's flooding. I didn't expect by now for it to be worse again down there, hope the last of the storm moves thru soon.

 

[jcdeboever]

Tragic situation down there. I can't fathom how people are dealing with this. I just hope that the clean up and repair is swift so people can get on with their lives.

 

[jcdeboever]

I am at 15k pounds, half way there. If I can pick up 15 tomorrow, I bonus. I am feeling confident and hope to be home tomorrow night, providing I don't get dogged by travel log. I had to fix a couple lights, I was lucky I didn't get pulled over. Maintenance guy didn't do it. I should have double checked before I took off. That irritated me. Now I'm dirty and thirsty. I'm glad I packed a maintenance box.

So you're a driver now!

And mechanic, and salesman, and customer service rep, and the list goes on. I actually don't mind helping out but only when there is no alternative. Unfortunately, I am very easy going and overly helpful to a fault so I'm easy to take advantage of.

Ah, the meat sacks are fickle. Hope yours feels better soon!

@limr..... Lookie at what I got today for $20.00.... yeah baby. Other than the leather, looks to be in good order. Hard to say until I get a pack of film in it.

That is helpful. Appreciate it.

Nice!!

My suggestion is to also get yourself a frog tongue for that thing. Polaroid camera film shield for folding-type cameras

Impossible Project film is crazy sensitive to light exposure and it's really important to keep it shielded from light while it processes (takes 30-45 minutes). No matter how fast you are grabbing that print after it shoots out of the camera, the damage has been done. I even go as far as to turn the camera towards me and bring it close, so that when I take the print out of the camera, it can be immediately pressed against my body to keep it shielded and then slipped into a pocket or camera bag.

Of course, the film is out of stock....
Should I spray the photos with UV spray? I have heard some things that the images don't hold up and disappear after a year or so, is that true?

At impossible.

 

[limr34 3]

At impossible.

Looks like they have some black and white stock. Also, it looks like B&H has stock of both color and black and white. Film Photography Project is out of stock.

I think if you sign up (create an account) they'll let you know when new stock arrives. I've not kept up with them, honestly - when they first started the product was simply not good. Looks like they've made huge strides recently, though.

 

[vintagesnaps]

What??

Oh, I forgot JC, you got a Stormtrooper (that's what the white ones are called). I love using my SX-70 and like Terri have more than one (in varying conditions).

So far The Impossible Project film has held up fine, I haven't had any deterioration. Never heard of spraying it with anything. They have plenty of film last I looked. Only thing I've had happen if it's too far expired it starts drying up and you get divots. Which you can figure out how to use if you want to be experimental.

I like the monochrome, the cyan more than the magenta.

edit - Yeah, it's an improvement over the original. Supposedly you don't have to shield it but I'm so in the habit of flipping it face down on a table, under a book, or sticking it in a pocket, or in something I have with me.
