Isolation Photo Project, Day 86: all'aria aperta

Bhavana and I ordered a pint of each of the available Troon Brewing ales and a few food items. Then we sat back and relaxed. We plan on dining outdoor at Brick Farm Tavern at least once a week.

The weather was just right for Brick Farm Tavern to open their outdoor seating for reservations. They had announced it last week, and I booked us for a table right away. They offered twenty-four socially distanced outdoor tables, of which sixteen of them can be reserved via OpenTable starting today! The rest of the tables are available for walk-ins on a first-come-first-served basis.

Bhavana and I ordered a pint of each of the available Troon Brewing ales-Don't Waste Any Time, The Haunted Crypts, Keep Your Distance. We ordered three food items, the Udon Noodle Salad with Radish, Carrot, Napa Cabbage, Soy Reduction, Peanut-Wonton Crunch, Chili-Peanut Vinaigrette, Fresh Herbs, the Beet and Apple Salad with Strawberry Vinaigrette, Honey Cracker, Goat Cheese, mixed greens, and Bee Pollen (GF) and grilled garden vegetables with Grilled Broccoli Rabe, Spring Onion, Peppers, Balsamic Burnt Onion Vinaigrette (GF). Then we sat back and relaxed.

A masked server (we know of the servers by name) brought our beer and food to the table. It was great to talk to familiar people even if from behind a masl.

We plan on "cenare all'aria aperta" at Brick Farm Tavern at least once a week.

Isolation Photo Project, Day 79: Blackened Catfish

I made Blackened Catfish for dinner.

Bhavna bought some catfish this weekend. Today she decided that I was making catfish for my dinner. I decided that I wanted Blackened Catfish but didn't know how to make it. Google provided a few recipes, but ultimately, I used a spice mix that Bhavna had made to use with making her gumbo. She said it had most of the main spices used the spice mix in the blackened catfish recipes I had found. I think it worked out well.

I drove into Hopewell intending to capture some images for today's post, but after seeing how well the Blackened Catfish turned out, I opted to use this image for today's post. I will use the photos I captured in Hopewell Township for another post on Fuji Kodak Portra 400 film simulation versus DxO Color Efx Pro 4 Kodak Portra 400 preset.

Side note. After reading this Rod's "The Last Ninja" blog post and Anil's "My desert Island camera" blog post about Nikon's FM3A, I have serious GAS. I want one!

iPhone 11 Pro 365: Day 229

Before dinner, I ordered a crowler of Troon Brewing's latest ale, Vote of Confidence, from Brick Farm Tavern along with some hummus, pasta salad, and ice cream and brownies for Shaan and Kiran. When Bhavana came home, and I told her, she suggested that we make use of the brand new picnic tables set up on the back lawn of the property. The tables are set about 20 feet apart. She ate the hummus.
