daily slice-of-life photo blog of a Gen-X dad
Welcome to my food photography blog! 😆 Well, I DO post a lot of photos of our meals, especially since we are staying safe inside.
Today’s photos are of a delcious salmon and spinach creamy pasta, and homemade garlic baguette. The baguette was super-deluxe, with mozzarella cheese stuffed in the slices, and coated liberally with an olive oil, garlic, and herb spread. So yummy!
I hope you had a good day!
Tonight’s dinner: Loco Moco. This Hawaiian dish usually has a thicker brown gravy on top, but Mariko decided to make a thinner Japanese-style hamburg-steak sauce. I heard it was delicious… We had a leftover hamburger from yesterday’s barbecue, so I finished that up. Not complaining! (Maybe a little) 😆
Hope you had a nice day!
I managed to take this photo before turning in for the evening (I sleep so early these days!). This 9:15 pm photo still shows a little glow from the sun, but the lack of a moon and the less-polluted skies allow for some decent star photos, even from suburbia. That bright star in the center is actually the planet Venus. Super bright as usual! This is a 13-second exposure using a Sony NEX-6 and Sigma 10-20 mm lens, at a 15 mm full-frame equivalent focal distance, ISO 3200, with a quick edit in Adobe Lightroom 5.7. 🌌
I’m seeing many more photos on Instagram and Twitter of people’s homemade bread since the stay-at-home lifestyle has begun, and it’s awesome! Of course, I have to post some of Mariko’s bread too since it’s the best. This one is a sourdough loaf (my favorite), but she also made malasadas today for the first time. They were delicious!
It’s a good thing that I love to eat sandwiches because we have so much delicious bread… I just can’t get enough of it. Yay for bakers! 🍞 🥐
Tonight’s dinner was a simple yet delicious donburi of salmon and avocado in a shoyu sauce, with miso soup and asparagus rounding out the meal. And of course beer. Itadakimasu! 🥢
