The day after. You can see that I sliced about a quarter of the way through the finger about a centimeter from the tip. When I first cut it, it was flapping around in a way that made me nauseous. But I cleaned the wound and bandaged it for a day, and look at it now! It's glued back together again! The human body is a remarkable thing.
The lesson, kids, is make sure your knives are sharp. I was cutting a very slippery onion with a dull knife, which slipped and slashed into my thumb.
The yellow one is Azoychka – A very productive Russian heirloom found at the Bird Market in Moscow. (”Azoychka” is a woman’s name.) Produce indeterminate, regular-leaf tomato plants that produce an abundant crop of smooth, 3-inch round, slightly flattened, yellow/orange tomatoes with a sweet citrusy flavor. This is a delightful small yellow beefsteak tomato that matures so early it will be one of the first varieties to ripen in your garden. Beautifully smooth, lemon yellow fruit weighs about 8 ozs. and is very flavorful, rich but pleasantly sweet with a delicious hint of citrus.

We enjoyed it yesterday sliced with some salt, pepper & drizzled with a little olive oil. It is the perfect eating tomato. Mr Chiot’s loves it because it’s not too acidic. This one’s definitely a winner in our garden, which is good. I grew this instead of Lemon Boy, which is Mr Chiot’s favorite eating tomato, so I’m glad it’s so delicious!
Volumes are separated into signatures so that they are thin enough to have the ends removed by a slicer.

This is the newly developed Riverbank House, on the north bank of the River Thames. Such a striking design, made me look up and take a shot.
Built for the May 2013 Frame Chef competition, this is an example of "how not to". It uses 12 of the "secret ingredient" but fails at looking good.
Not much time on Flickr, but here's a quick post from a trip to Bristol a few weeks ago. It's the detail from a new building being constructed in the Temple Quays area.
When
life is being hard,
you feel
trapped
in a hole.
Looking back,
you will know:
you have
gone through,
gained a lot,
from
those moments in life.

SOME INFORMATION ON THE TOMATO:
The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family, as are its close cousins tobacco, chili peppers, potato, and eggplant. The tomato is native to Central, South, and southern North America from Mexico to Argentina. It is a perennial, often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual, typically reaching to 1–3 m (3 to 10 ft) in height, with a weak, woody stem that often vines over other plants. The leaves are 10–25 cm long, odd pinnate, with 5–9 leaflets on petioles[1], each leaflet up to 8 cm long, with a serrated margin; both the stem and leaves are densely glandular-hairy. The flowers are 1–2 cm across, yellow, with five pointed lobes on the corolla; they are borne in a cyme of 3–12 together.
The word tomato derives from a word in the Nahuatl language, tomatl. The specific name, lycopersicum, means "wolf-peach" (compare the related species S. lycocarpum, whose scientific name means "wolf-fruit", common name "wolf-apple").
The tomato is grown worldwide for its edible fruits, with thousands of cultivars having been selected with varying fruit types, and for optimum growth in differing growing conditions. Cultivated tomatoes vary in size from cherry tomatoes, about the same 1–2 cm size as the wild tomato, up to beefsteak tomatoes 10 cm or more in diameter. The most widely grown commercial tomatoes tend to be in the 5–6 cm diameter range. Most cultivars produce red fruit; but a number of cultivars with yellow, orange, pink, purple, green, or white fruit are also available. Multicolored and striped fruit can also be quite striking. Tomatoes grown for canning are often elongated, 7–9 cm long and 4–5 cm diameter; they are known as plum tomatoes.
Tomatoes are one of the most common garden fruits in the United States and, along with zucchini, have a reputation for outproducing the needs of the grower.

When someone says to photograph food, I always think of candy. Here are some orange slices, macro style.
From February 2010, www.modabakeshop.com tutorial. Used clothworks "spill the beans" fabric for the centers and some of the rainbow accompany fabric. This is unfinished at this time.
I'm always amazed at how perfectly thin and transparent veggies are once the mandolin is through with them. Unfortunately I cut my finger pretty badly with it the day I made this salad. I should've been more careful. The mandolin is such a great tool. I use it for all sorts of makeshift grating and zesting as well as slicing.
