Soldiers sling load a HMMWV during the Pathfinder Course, Feb. 14, 2017, in the Grafenwoehr Training Area. The Pathfinder Course prepares Soldiers to establish day and night landing zones for cargo drops, and provide air traffic control and navigational assistance to rotary and fixed wing aircrafts.
Pear
Pear vinegar, and lemon verbena.
Notes: The pear vinegar was in the form of very thin strips of geée that were interleafed with lemon verbena and thinly cut pear. I don't know how they made the "package" stay together so that the strips of pear and pear vinegar gelée didn't separate or slip when eating it.

Welcome to Cambridge,
It had stopped raining, was getting light and the traffic was jumping, or going past the window, down on the street, which, in fairness, was the best place for it.
After a while I got up to have a shower and get dressed, put on a mask to go down to breakfast.
A guy already sitting down at a table, maskless, was complaining about people and staff not wearing masks. I watched as he got up to go to the buffet table and he failed to wear as mask, but those others!
I hadn't eaten since one the previous day, so I pay an extra tenner to have a fried breakfast as well as a selection from the buffet. A china pot of coffee was brought and so I lived like a king for a while, splashing coffee and ketchup on the starched linen of the table cloth.
I was ready, but was Cambridge?
We shall see.
The hotel looked over the River Cam, and there was a bridge to Jesus Fields over the locks just down from the hotel. I crossed the road, went over the bridge and then followed the path beside the river. Joggers puffed past, and I stopped occasionally to take shots, as I am a photographer. Of course.
Lining the river were punts tied up, do people still hire punts? Seems like they do.
The path changes into a boardwalk, with a College on the other side, but I was making for the stone bridge a hundred yards away. Or so. A walk into Cambridge As I was on a mission to find the camera shop that had a lens waiting for me to buy, I didn't really notice how quiet the streets were, I snapped a scene looking up from the bridge as a dray was reversing into an old coaching in, I was the only one looking at the driver's reversing skills.
A walk into Cambridge I followed the main road into the centre, turning right at a roundabout, passing the round church and St Clements which I would get to know better much later. 15,000 steps later in fact.
A walk into Cambridge Past more colleges, all looking like possible new Harry Potter locations, but all displaying "college closed to the public" signs. Sadly.
A walk into Cambridge The road opened out, and on the right was King's College, with the chapel towering above all buildings. I walk on, past Great St Mary, and found the shop just as the owner arrived to unlock it. It was quarter to nine.
A walk into Cambridge I gave him ten minutes to get the shop straight, I go in and introduce myself, he produces the lens. I put it on the camera and take two test shots. It all works. I pay the remainder off the coast, and the lens was mine.
Back outside I took a few more test shots, then set about trying to find a church to practice on.
The unusually named St Bene't's was open, so I donned a mask and went in.
St Bene't's has a find Norman arch in the tower, it's best feature, apart from the extra punctuation, I record it all and am happy with the results.
I had watched the priest open Great St Mary's, but before I went in there, I thought I would have a coffee.
So I found a nice little independent place, who provided me with the best Americano I have ever had, which I take to a bench seat on the street so I could look at the people going by.
Electric cycles and "motor"cycles glided past on the cobbles. I looked at the ticket I had for King's Chapel and saw the gate was a ten minute walk away. I had half an hour, so popped into St Mary, followed the one way system and got shots, trying to leave the couple arranging a family funeral alone in their saddest hour.
-------------------------------------------
By far the biggest medieval parish church in the city. A grand, urban East Anglian church right on the eve of the Reformation. There is much in common with Lavenham in Suffolk, and indeed the architect was probably John Wastrell, who was responsible for Lavenham and also Saffron Walden in Essex. 'St Mary the Great', or 'Great St Mary's' as it is commonly known, is the name of the church rather than the dedication, to differentiate it from St Mary the Less ('Little St Mary's') further down Trumpington Street. In both cases the dedication was to a feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Great St Mary points its long east end into the Market Hill. Despite sitting on the public square, St Mary the Great is the university church, and always has been. The patchwork of small parishes in the historic city centre is catered for by half a dozen other smaller churches within a stones throw. The interior is architecturally spectacular, although not particularly historically interesting as very little at all has survived from its Catholic days. One unusual later feature is a pretty Laudian font dated 1632, and that the 18th Century galleries, once a feature of most large urban churches, were never removed here.
Although the tower is by no means the highest building in the city (it is barely a hundred feet high) there are spectacular views from the top, looking out over the colleges to the north and west, and to the modern city to east and south.

St Mary the Great is a Church of England parish and university church at the north end of King's Parade in central Cambridge, England. It is known locally as Great St Mary's or simply GSM to distinguish it from "Little St Mary's". It is one of the Greater Churches. It is designated by Historic England as a Grade I listed building.[1]
In addition to being a parish church in the Diocese of Ely, it is the university church for the University of Cambridge. As such it has a minor role in the university's legislation: for example, university officers must live within 20 miles of Great St Mary's and undergraduates within three. The church also hosts the "University Sermons" and houses the University Organ and the University Clock. The latter chimes the "Cambridge Quarters" which were later used by the clock tower of the Houses of Parliament ("Big Ben").
he first mention of the church is a record of King John presenting Thomas de Chimeleye to the rectory in 1205.[2] The first church on the site of the current one was built in 1205, but this was mostly destroyed by fire 9 July 1290 and then rebuilt.[3] At the time, this fire was attributed to the Jewish population of the city, with the result that the synagogue was closed.[4] Prior to 1352, it was known as The Church of St Mary the Virgin, but since that year has become known by its modern name.[2] During its early years, the patronage of the church (that is, the right to name the incumbent) belonged to the crown, but on 15 July 1342, the patronage was passed to King's Hall. When Kings Hall was subsumed by Henry VIII into Trinity College the patronage of the University Church also passed to Trinity, where it has rested since.
The orders for the consecration of the new church were sent out on 17 May 1346, but were not enacted until 15 March 1351.[4]
In the Middle Ages it became an official gathering place for meetings and debates for Cambridge University, but this ceased in 1730 when the University's Senate House was built across the street.
The present building was constructed between 1478 and 1519, with the tower finished later, in 1608. The cost of construction was covered largely by Richard III and Henry VII.[5]
The church was restored by James Essex in 1766. In 1850–51 a restoration was carried out by George Gilbert Scott, followed by further work by Anthony Salvin in 1857. The south porch was rebuilt in 1888. There has been some more restoration work during the 20th century.[1]
Various leading philosophers of the English Reformation preached there, notably Erasmus. Martin Bucer, who influenced Thomas Cranmer's writing of the Book of Common Prayer, was buried there. Under Queen Mary I, Bucer's corpse was burnt in the marketplace, but under Elizabeth I, the dust from the place of burning was replaced in the church and now lie under a brass floor plate in the south chancel.
The church is designed in the Late Perpendicular style. The stained glass is the work of Hardman and was added between 1867 and 1869.[5]
To accommodate the large audiences that were present for special occasions, and in particular the University Sermon, attendance of which was compulsory, the galleries were added in 1735. The church contains one of the few moveable pulpits in England. The font dates from 1632 and the sculpture behind the high altar is of Christ in Majesty. This sculpture was completed in 1960.[5] The sculpture is by Alan Durst

Butter-poached lobster tail with a carrot-ginger puree, coconut soup, tarragon juice, pink grapefruit with basil chiffonade and brown butter powder.
Notes: This plate was like a painter's palatte - reminding me of the beet dish that I had at schwa in chicago.
The lobster tail had been perfectly poached in butter to a silken tenderness. I loved almost every element on the plate - not the least of which was the graperfuit, which was slightly warm and therefore tooko on a similar texture to the lobster tail - cloaking itself in the lobster.
Each element on the dish was POPPINGLY flavorful. Personal preferences in taste aside, everything on this plate was great. The carrot-ginger puree was distinctly both. The tarragon juice was very anise fresh-and-grassy. The coconut soup, as well, was very creamy and coconutty (this was one flavor combo I didn't really appreciate). The brown butter powder, which reminded me of the brown butter powder on the skate course at my second dinner at alinea, had barely any taste of butter, even less of browned butter. Rather, it tasted like powdered milk.
Perhaps the most unassuming, but most appreciated element on this dish (besides the lobster) was the little square of purple Peruvian potato that added the only texturally "meaty" element on the plate - a welcomed and wonderful thing.
Overall, this course was very strong - most in composition and presentation. I found the number of different sauces a bit distracting - especially for such a small piece of lobster. But, it was well-executed and each element carefully and wonderfully prepared.
The original idea behind the "Streets Of Dublin Project" ( www.streetsofdublin.com ) was to document the changes taking place in the City Of Dublin but the scope of the project has been expanded to include other cities, towns and villages throughout Europe. Recently I had the opportunity to visit the city of Belfast. Next week I visit Cork and towards the end of May I hope to visit Limerick.
Belfast is currently experiencing a tourist boom, being one of the most visited cities in the UK, and the second most visited on the island of Ireland. In 2008, 7.1 million tourists visited the city. There are numerous popular tour bus companies and boat tours running throughout the year. To further enhance the tourist industry in Northern Ireland, the Belfast City Council is currently investing into the complete redevelopment of the Titanic Quarter, which is planned to consist of apartments, hotels, a riverside entertainment district, and a major Titanic-themed attraction. They also hope to invest in a new modern transport system for Belfast, with a cost of £250 million.
Belfast expanded very rapidly from being a market town to becoming an industrial city during the course of the 19th century. Because of this, it is less an agglomeration of villages and towns which have expanded into each other, than other comparable cities. The city expanded to the natural barrier of the hills that surround it, overwhelming other settlements. Consequently, the arterial roads along which this expansion took place (such as the Falls Road or the Newtownards Road) are more significant in defining the districts of the city than nucleated settlements. Belfast remains segregated by walls, commonly known as "peace lines", erected by the British Army after August 1969, and which still divide 14 districts in the inner city.
All the international guides report that the people are very friendly and the city is very safe compared to other cities so if you get a chance you must pay a visit.
