This one's for Grumbo.
Joe Grumbo gave me this cool old Yashica "Electro 35". Isn't it awesome?
It appears they've discontinued the "5 V 6" mercury battery it requires. Anyone know where I can find one or an adapter for one?
Not many eagles today but the cameras were ready.. It was a great day for meeting up with old friends and making new ones.
Self-portrait: Japanese-Canadian-Israeli scholar, needleworker, lacemaker, spinner, weaver, and avid cook
The wooden object is a bit cryptic. It's a 19th cent. Canadian boat shuttle. I don't weave with it. It has some faint carving in it and is considered a piece of folk art. It was also the only Canadian object I could find at short notice.
The handkerchiefs with tatting and bobbin lace are my own work. The framed pieces are Teresa Wentzler's "English Garden Sampler" and my Ph.D. diploma. The book is one of the last things I wrote before I let the Dead Sea Scrolls at the Hebrew University to work in high tech. On top of the book is a small metal tahkli (spindle) and just behind it (darn, didn't realise it rolled back) is a bobbin for making bobbin lace. The red striped cloth is one of my aprons. The mortar and pestle, passport, and tea cup are pretty self-explanatory, I think.
I have oodles more hobbies I thought of but there's a limit to how much one can fit in a picture! :-)

Lentil Crunchies
1 c lentils (not red)
1 quart water
Cooking spray of your choice (I used olive oil)
¼ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp curry powder
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
Place water and lentils in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, cover, remove from heat, and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain and spread out on paper towels to dry. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Spray well with cooking spray. Spread out lentils on sheet and give them a light coating of cooking spray. Bake in a 425 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, until crisp, stirring often. Combine seasonings and toss with hot lentils. Cool and store in a airtight container.It's a wonderful little salty snack!
