Thought about it, but on one in our house drinks. Very nicely shot!

Very nicely photographed Jim, and interesting story!This blossom has a long story. On December 21 (2018) our son ordered a bouquet of flowers to be delivered to his Mom (Mrs. T.) in honor of her birthday on the 22nd. As luck would have it, they didn't arrive until after we had left to be away for several days. They sat outside on our front stoop, well packaged, through several days and nights of freezing weather.
When we returned, she unpackaged them and found that the lilies in the bouquet had not yet opened. They proceeded to open up over several days inside.
When we left for Costa Rica on January 5th, instead of throwing them away she put them in a bucket of water in the garage where they have sat until I brought them in today for this photograph.

Tough plant that, like its recipient! and a great shot too.
Nice! I was going to raid the spice rack, but the containers were pretty boring (unlike yours) and I found a few items in the workshop.Here are 3 residents of my spice cabinet:
From Left, Asafoetida, Advieh and Anise.

Asafoetida is used in Indian cooking, especially with curried lentils (where it serves much the same function as Beano!) but also adds an onion-like flavor. Also used in meat curries to intensify the flavors of onions. This is a compounded version (mixed with flours and turmeric, to mellow the intensity and help it age better). Advieh is a blend of cinnamon, turmeric, ginger, cumin, caraway, cloves and cardamom. Used with braised meats and rice pilafs.

You surely have a much more expansive workshop than do I, Paul. Good stuff here.

I guess that rates an A+++, Dan. Is that a 757?
Thanks, unfortunately I don't really know the airlines airplanes. I know some of the military planes from my days in the Air Force, but I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to the airlines.I guess that rates an A+++, Dan. Is that a 757?

Thanks Eric. I do enjoy cooking, especially playing with spices. Anytime you are up this way, feel free to call in!Geez, Nick - what spot-on, mouth-watering CS subjects and shots those are. Have you ever thought about entering the Iron Chef battle? Oh . . . most importantly: do you take reservations and if so, what time do you open for dinner?
