Out cooking dinner on the grill today, I noticed a lot of birds flying around. So, I put out some seed and peanuts, then grabbed the camera and waited patiently for the feathered friend action to commence... I waited... Saw some birds fly by... Waited some more... Hey, there goes a Cardinal... Waiting and waiting... Flipped the pork roast steaks and baked potato.... Waiting.... Alright! a small sparrow lands by the seeds! As I'm slowly and cautiously raising my camera, a kid rides by on a bike spooking the bird... Grrrrrr... More waiting.... I start to take pictures of dumb stuff in the yard: The thermometer on the fence, the pull ring on the gate. The birdhouse in the corner of the deck. Then a beautiful female Cardinal lands on the support bar which the aforementioned birdhouse hangs from. I had to act fast and smooth as these birds don't hang around long. I had the shutter at high speed continuous and before it flew away, I was able to fire off about six perfectly out-of-focus shots... Drat!

More waiting... Waiting waiting waiting... And then, I'm looking at the two sconces hanging on the wall just next to where I am standing. I back up and admire the sparkling little crystal thingies hanging from it and decide to take a few shots.... Not bad me thinks to me-self. So I give myself a little workshop in the fine art of Depth of Field right then and there. About 20 shots later, dinner was ready. I put everything away and enjoyed a nice dinner with Dale and after doing a bunch of other stuff, I took a look at my shots. Whittled down to four and then this one. Not bad I guess. Could be worse. Could be better.

Wish it was a bird....

cooking is a tough job, it's similar to the photographer one in some ways.

Back to the kitchen and wasn't I pleased about that - it is like winter outside!! Went to the gym today and someone told me it wouldn't be long until Christmas and there was an obvious look of surprise on my face and then he said "it's cold enough to be Christmas!" So real pleased I didn't have to walk about looking for something to shoot.

The city of Udaipur is located in the Aravalli ranges of the royal state of Rajasthan and is also known as the jewel of Mewar. Also known as the City of Dawn, Udaipur is surrounded by ancient mountains and set on the edge of three lakes. It is a beautiful old city with narrow lanes flanked by bright stalls, gardens, lakes, palaces and temples meandering through it. It is situated at a distance of about 405 km from the state capital Jaipur.

 

Udaipur was founded in 1559 and named after Maharana Udai Singh. It then replaced Chittor as the capital of the Sisodia dynasty, when according to legend, the Maharana went out hunting one day and met a holy man who blessed him and told him to built a palace at that very spot, as it would be well protected. Today, Udaipur is a one of the better-known tourist destinations of India and an integral part of any itinerary for Rajasthan.

Amelia is learning how to make chicken soup

6/366/2016, 1832 in a row.

L has become quite interested in cooking (the apple didn't fall far from the tree) so Scott has been teaching some knife skills...

Soft Caramels:

3 c. brown sugar

2 c. light corn syrup (one bottle)

1 c. butter (2 sticks)

3/4 c. sweetened condensed milk (one can)

1/2 tsp. vanilla

 

Candy thermometer

Heavy saucepan

Wooden spoon

 

Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter and condensed milk in heavy pan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is dissolved and mixture boils. Continue cooking to 248 degrees stirring now and then to prevent scorching. This takes about 20 minutes of continuous boiling over pretty vigorous heat.

 

Remove from heat, add vanilla. Pour into 9 x 13 buttered pan. When firm, cut into 1" squares and wrap in waxed paper. Makes about a million.

 

Tips:

-Make sure the candy thermometer doesn't touch the bottom or side of the pan.

-Cut waxed paper into 4" squares while waiting for the caramel to cool.

-Be very careful not to burn yourself on the molten caramel-- don't lick the spoon!

-If the caramel doesn't harden when it cools, scrape it back into the pot and heat it up again, making sure to get it to the proper temperature.

-I usually use a spatula to transfer about 1/4 of the hardened caramel onto a cutting board, where I use a sharp knife to cut it into 1 inch strips, and then cut each strip into one inch pieces, and wrap them as I go along.

-Don't be afraid to crank the heat up to high or medium high if the caramel mixture is taking a long time to reach 248.

-Stir continuously to prevent the mixture from burning.

-Resist the urge to eat more than five in one sitting. Tummy ache!
