Mindscapes...

Food science. It is called molecular gastronomy, a course I am taking at the moment. Last night I did emulsification using soy lecithin powder and yellow mustard curry on top of pork chops. It is very interesting to play with all these flavours and powders that makes my bubbles. Today I will try gelification using agar-agar powder to make some pearl-like consistensies like caviar. I will also want to try gel spaghettis for dessert with strawberries on top. When I get good enough to show off my work, I will incorporate taking pictures of them too. I have already prepared my dinette table for that and of course my ladder and a brand new tripod with horizontal arm. So many things to do around here including Christmas stuffs and prepping the house for Christmas and New Year which is more important. I like experimenting on Bill's taste buds for second opinion. LOL I just got my new equipments a few days ago in time for my classes. I love experimenting on food...but with taste. Last week on our way home from Reno we passed by some friends of Bill in Sedona, Arizona and we went to a high falluting restaurant there and got treated to a bland Italian dishes. I can do better than that !!!

Anyway,that is my story and I am sticking to it. The thing is to enjoy what we do in every aspect. Scope 640's composition is very nice. I like the combination of colours and the empty space.

Izzie, thank you so much...i felt your absence; by the way, at which place you chanced to work on chemistry? what kind of experiments were you performing, i wonder
Again thank you very much for your kind words, as always

Scape 640: Great photo,Nandakumar. You've inspired me to try to capture a butterfly in flight next spring.

Great image. I really like the way the dogs seem to be contemplating what to do next, and how that fits in well with your statement.

Thank you very much, John

Mark, thank you so much

Randy, thank you very much for your kind words; regarding the butterfly in flight, i don't exactly remember whether i caught it in flight or did some technique. That was from an old stock

Scape 641 -- you said

To share is happiness; to give up is greatness...

I think I am confused as to why giving up is greatness, can you explain this one for me? I always think giving up is failure. Sharing is sure happiness, I agree with that one...it makes one feels lighter inside especially at this time of the year when you have to put out your wallet because a merchant wants your money... and everyone you or merchant had shared your email address also sent you a request to donate to their cause. Maybe this is what Christmas is all about -- giving....and I am getting poorer by the minute. Maybe I should refrain from answering my phone too.. what do you think???

[Wavelength]

Oh.... i see the chance of mistaking now, Izzie
Actually what i meant was: when you share a part you still hold on; when you give up, you don't claim anything reserved for you....In other words, i was not hinting at something like sharing a feeling etc. Hope i am clear to you now
Thank you very much, Izzie

In that case I give up! greatness was easier than I thought

642, nicely composed.

[IzzieK]

Scape 642 is very pretty...but the wisdom there is sort of the circle of life, which one came first -- the chicken or the egg sort of thing.

John, thank you so much...

Izzie, thank you very much

@ Izzie, I was hinting at the mutuality of many things in life
