Bernie




Bremen in August

 I was worried the people might not want to be photographed, but now i realize that was quatsch--plus one face got in anyway.
 Sneaking across this construction site, Nancy started dancing with her shadow.
 Nancy, listening to a band playing in the park.

On our walk through Bremen.

I think most of these looked better in B+W but I can't decide if 3 is better in colour or b+w.  What do you think?  Which picture(s) do you like best? Just curious.

"Canadian Bob"



Which do you like better?  Should the top one be lighter?

I always find it interesting, the pictures people choose of themselves.  Now I'm curious what other people think.  I was experimenting with different settings and Bob was showing me some things.

Almost Virgin Lemon Fizz

fresh lemon juice
splash limoncello (i make mine unsweetened)
tsp vanilla extract
ice
fizzy water
sugar syrup or artificial sweetener to taste

Whir together above with a handheld blender or in a regular blender.  Mix with fizzy water 1:1

Variations:

  • use strong cold brewed tea in place of the fizzy water
  • add a shot or two of gin in place of some of the fizzy water
  • Add an egg white or two to the mixture that you frappĂ© (makes a creamy drink without the calories of cream).  If someone is pregnant or nursing, use powdered egg white to be on the safe side.
  • use lime syrup, rather than simple sugar syrup
