There are two ingredients needed for clouds to become visible; water and nuclei.
Water molecules in the atmosphere are too small to bond together for the formation of cloud droplets. They need a "flatter" surface, an object with a radius of at least one micrometer (one millionth of a meter) on which they can form a bond. Those objects are called nuclei.
Nuclei are minute solid and liquid particles, consisting of such things as smoke particles from fires or volcanoes, ocean spray or tiny specks of wind-blown soil. These nuclei are hygroscopic meaning they attract water molecules.
Therefore, every cloud droplet has a speck of dirt, dust or salt crystal at its core.

Interesting, eh?!? 😊
PS: The colors look way too saturated and dull on my Samsung tablet, but look fine on my iPhone and Dell XPS laptop; ugh! 😩😩😩

“There was a mood of magic and frenzy to the room. Crystalline swirls of sugar and flour still lingered in the air like kite tails. And then there was the smell-the smell of hope, the kind of smell that brought people home.”
~ Sarah Addison Allen
"Mmmm" She hummed, taking another taste of the batter she was whisking. A frustrated sigh escaped her lips while she added more ingredients to her bowl. However, each taste test was a failure and she just wasn't satisfied.
The frown that decorated her face was not what he expected to see when he entered the shop. At first, he did not disturb her, just lurked nearby, watching her closely. He even chuckled to himself at how funny she looks all static haired, annoyed and focused.
She finally noticed him staring at her funny. Her expression changed from an eyeroll to a slightly shy smile. It was not the first time she got carried away. Maybe she should lighten up a bit or change her strategy. Surprisingly it only took few adjustments and she actually liked the taste.
"Come try this." she said, smiling sheepishly. He obliged, quite happy that the frown on her face was gone.
"So, what was wrong?" he asked.
"I was missing an important ingredient." she nodded.
"What?"
"Love." she winked.
P.S. Shhh, I know it is so cliché, but I don't care. :p
Rouleau, (Dog River) Saskatchewan.
That grain elevator (now destroyed by fire) was sometimes seen in the background of the TV sitcom "Corner Gas".
If baking is any labor at all, it's a labor of love. A love that gets passed from generation to generation.

Ingredients for a simple easy frittata, an egg dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner; tastes as good (and arguably better) cold or at room temperature as it does warm; and can be packed with just about anything—including leftovers.
have fun taking pictures of lunch ingredients this afternoon. Others pictures are here tongkm.wordpress.com/2020/08/22/lunch-ingredients/
Work on my new kitchen is finally complete and I am looking forward to cooking something simple and fresh... tomato and herb pasta comes to mind.
I'm trying to find the best fit for these ingredients. I made vegetable fried rice with them but I wasn't happy with it. I then made chicken vegetable soup with these ingredients and that was better. And poor Tom is stuck with my constant questioning of his opinion. But I like this photo, so at least that's something.
For 122 pictures in 2022 #48 "Ingredients for...", these are the ingredients for making beef jerky. The beef is an eye of round roast sliced 1/8 inch thick. Behind that are garlic powder, liquid smoke, worcestershire sauce, cumin (which I decided not to use), sea salt (I used kosher), brown sugar, ground thai red chile (home grown that I ground up), onion powder, and curing salt #1 (which I believe is just sodium nitrite). Mix all that up and marinate for 18 - 24 hours, then dehydrate.
WHY IS IT BLUE?
The geothermal water has a unique composition, featuring three active ingredients – Silica, Algae & Minerals.
The blue colour comes from the silica and the way it reflects sunlight. During summer there can also be a hint of green in the water. This is the result of the algae, which multiplies quickly when exposed to direct sunlight.
However, and this might come as a surprise to you, the water is actually white. If you pour it into a transparent cup, it will always have a milky white colour. The sun simply makes it look blue!

Another excursion to Elk Island Park. Really looking forward to this since I don’t much get out of the house. Also looking forward to make good use of the seating arrangements Parks Canada so graciously provided for people in my advanced stage of life. So, what do I find when I get there? The chairs were the main attraction for the Plains Bison herd. Did Parks Canada really have to use red for these chairs? Are they not aware of the red capes that matadors use in bull fights? As I am trying to cope with my disappointment of the unavailability of the chairs to provide me with the perfect picture taking environment, a thought took hold. Why not use this opportunity to do a chair shot? I got excited and tried to recall the perfect lemon juice recipe (if life provides you with lemons, make juice) and came up with this. Yes, perhaps the chairs are slightly over-accessorized but really, this is my first attempt at a chair shot, so cut me some slack already. And then I remembered the most important ingredient in any lemon juice is some 100% Agave “Tequila”.
I am in a such a uncreative phase that it is hard to pick camera these days. Hope I regain this soon, as I still have to take 365 pics and clicking something everyday is becoming a struggle, so I am looking at my earlier pics to be more creative and bringing them back on.
SOME ingredients for my kick-ass chili. Note the Pizza Hut flavor packets. Yes, Pizza Hut. It somehow works. I won't tell you what the other special ingredients are though.
