Where was the light source for the first Jarritos picture? (A couple months ago, on a trip to Austin, Texas I noticed a whole range of sodas from Barritos - bought one of each; I'm a sucker for trying new flavors... Most of them tasted like Jarritos though.)

Hmm, well, it's natural, low afternoon sunlight. My outdoor cooking area has a reed roof, so it's diffused. At the west/east sides, are open and allow sun to blink through. I couldn't resist.

For most, if not all of my kitchen (studio) shots I use either my SB-800 or my old Metz 45 CL-2 potato masher. Man, that Metz puts light where it's never been before. For reflectors I open up my kitchen cabinets about bounce light off that. More than you probably asked for, but love light. Hey.

Oh sure, it's just a rack of ribs, babyback ones. But how did I cook them?

In my gas fired oven in the kitchen. But how did I lend a light smoke flavor?

That's right, put a cast iron skillet in there that had wildly smoking hardwood dust/bits.

I'm the most dangerous!

Not even remotely, I wouldn't think. I just put up the post over at meathenge dot com. It was really simple though, and I have to say the little ribs were very tasty.

I just don't know what to do anymore. You keep posting photos of this gorgeous and delicious looking food that I have absolutely no way tasting and little time to reproduce on my own! Big smile

Hey, sorry man!

Here's a snapshot from my cutting board this evening.

D200, Nikkor 20mm f2.8 with an sb-800 bounced off the kitchen door.

xo, Biggles

Oh man, this one was absolutely wonderful in every way. Toothy, rich, beefy and juicy to an extreme.

400 degrees for maybe 45 minutes, cast iron pan, trivet. Cross-hatched the fat to include extra virgin, salt, pepper, fresh rosemary and lemon zest.

A simple Thursday evening meal. Pan seared pork chops, we haven't had them in a week or more. 1.25" thick, oh yes.



Salted and held down with cast iron bacon presses.



I only had 25 minutes to come up with this, so it's not all that fancy. The El Salvadorean rice showed up 8 minutes later.

Here we find Mr. A. Brown's macky cheese. Done it probably 4 times over the last year, great stuff. But the last few times it's needed more juicy action with a larger cheese flavor. Will be modifying the sucker.

Delicious?
Quickly consumed?
Should always be kept in the house for "emergencies"?
The secret ingredient that makes recipe X great?
All of the above?

Yeah, it ain't food. But it is pretty, Sunday's sunset. Only photoshopping used was to resize and a tad of unsharpening mask.
