Looking for lunch in Hot Springs, AR.

April 06, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

While in Hot Springs Arkansas, we stopped by Zoë's for lunch. Very nice selection of soup, salads, sandwiches, desert and a choice of wines. And if you are simply driving through the town around noon, it is well worth the stop for a meal. While there you can browse their merchandise which includes artwork and crafts.

The X-Scream is a short ride atop the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas. The view can be breath taking as it was near sunset when this picture was taken.

No batteries required

Were they really less fun when we had to pull them?

I don't remember, but the kids sure didn't seem to miss the lack of batteries. I liked the effect of sunlight from uncovered windows.

This was shot with a Sony RX10 Mk2, handheld with exposure bracketing. Post-processing included Topaz Lab's Impression

Grainless pasta

April 03, 2016  •  Leave a Comment

If you spiralize some zucchini, sauté it briefly, then mix with warm tomato sauce, you have a nice gluten-free pasta-like dish. If you don't have a spiralizer, a number of markets, like Whole Foods for instance, sell spiralized vegetables. An easy dish to prepare. Sauté the zucchini briefly in a little olive oil with a crushed garlic clove, then add to warmed marinara sauce. Just don't overcook the squash.

Estimates are that America once contained as many as 20 million bison. By the start of the 20th Century, that number had fallen to as few as 500.
