Good Morning, we have a bit of snow today which seems almost quaint after the mild winter we have been having.
I picked up a half gallon of maple syrup from Somero Maple Farm here in New Ipswich. It is quiet in the evaporator room, but soon they will be in full operation. The conditions have to be just right for the sap to start flowing. The temperature has to be above freezing during the day and below freezing at night. Just a few more weeks to go.

Breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day. I was visiting my daughter and she took me to the Paramount Restaurant in South Boston. The food was great, a grilled chorizo Omelette.
I got a chuckle out of their seating policy too.
I often take photos of food and realized that if I could sell at least one, it might set me up for a life of leisure.
When I was a kid I probably have been happy eating hot dogs, hamburgers and french fries every day. I never imagined that I would actually enjoy anything that was exotic as a raw oyster. Thankfully that all changed.
I was introduced to other sushi dishes by my friends who would host “make your own sushi” dinners. My attempts at California rolls were pathetic, never got the rolling part down.

Good morning, did you have your breakfast yet? Today’s photo theme is #FoodFriday. Food is a great subject for photography, besides sustaining our life it has wonderful colors, texture and shapes. I usually have my camera with me when I’m at a restaurant or market knowing that the food will be presented in a visually appealing way.
These photos were taken at a Whole Foods Market in Boston while shopping with my daughter.
BON APPÉTIT

My sister was fortunate enough to be able to retire after decades of teaching in June of 2014. We celebrated the event at Molly’s Tavern and Restaurant in New Boston, NH. Highly recommended!
This photo seems like an appropriate choice for #FoodFriday, baked haddock, sweet potato fries and green beans.
In June of 2014, we traveled to Vancouver Island to visit family. At the reserve in Gold River I took this photo inside a smokehouse, curing salmon in the traditional manner with the smoke from elder wood. We had a great meal of partially smoked salmon with boiled potatoes.

This is a treat. On a regular basis our friends arrange a Sushi dinner for guests. They assemble some wonderful selection of Sushi. In this photo from left to right, California Roll, Tuna, Salmon and Smoked Eel. Originally this was a “make your own Sushi ” event but my own efforts were pathetic. I’d much rather eat the creations of my more talented friends.
Usually we have oysters as an appetizers. Life is good. I’ve picked this photo for the photo theme #FoodFriday.
