A few nice dishes images I found:

DIY Beauty Dish Front View

A DIY beauty dish flash modifier. The basic plan came from here: www.instructables.com/id/How-to-make-a-Beauty-Dish-flash-…

Everything I used was found around the house – an old chinese food container, duct tape, cardboard, foil, and packing tape. When I finished, the light was still kind of harsh, so I added a paper towel to diffuse it.

Snoopy’s Dish

The Parks are what used to be known as Camp Snoopy–a theme park entirely inside the Mall of America. I believe Nickelodeon has negotiated a deal with the MOA to re-theme this area. It will feature characters such as Sponge-Bob. You can even see Snoopy’s dish which was a popular meeting spot.

Opening in 1992, the Mall of America is the largest shopping mall in the United States (and perhaps the world, when all things are considered). It has a gross area of 4.2 million square feet which contains 500+ shops, restaurants, clubs, an underground aquarium, cinema, flight simulators, LEGO Imagination Center, and theme park. It even boasts 20,000 parking spaces and a dedicated light rail station. In a recent survey, Mall of America was the 2nd most visited tourist destination in the United States, bringing in around 40 million visitors per year.

Local food (109/365)


Image by LifeSupercharger
Day 109: One of the best things about visiting Hawaii is eating local food. After a few hours of sunbathing at the beach, we had lunch at Rainbow Drive-In, admired by locals and tourists alike. Pictured above is a mix plate and chili rice. I’m not sure if it was the food or sun, but we came back to the room around 2:30pm and I fell asleep until 11:00pm.

NYC – Queens – Flushing: Flushing Mall Food Court – Xi’an Famous Foods – Stewed Pork Burger


Image by wallyg
Xi’an Famous Foods serves food from the city of Xi’an, an ancient city in the western region of China, which as the starting point of the Silk Road, boasts a unique cuisine that can best be described as a fusion of Middle Eastern and Chinese foods. Their most popular dishes include the Liang Pi "Cold Skin" Noodles, Savory Cumin Lamb Burger, Stewed Pork Burger, Lamb Pao Mo Soup, and various types of Hand-Pulled noodles. Their location at the Flushing Mall Food Court is their second, with the original a few blocks away at the Golden Mall on Main Street.

Xi’an Famous Foods’ Pork Burger was selected #38 on The 101 Best Sandwiches in New York by Grub Street and New York Magazine.

frustration, thy name is satellite dish(es)

You’d think stations would have been pouring in from around the world. Alas, of all these contraptions, only one dish kinda-sorta worked (and that included the antennae).

Ferret Food & Treats

If you know the treat, add a note!

I took this more a company in NYC who is interested in my ferret photography for a book.

A few nice food images I found:

Food = Drugs


Image by pixeljones
Parthenios Luncheonette
132 N Church St,
Rockford, IL

It seems that when the Parthenios took over this former drugstore they didn’t repaint the sign, just added new neon. So, "Drugs" is now "Food" or "Parthenios." It’s ugly but cool that it is a kind of neon Palimpsest. I guess a vintage sign (like ancient parchment) is sometimes cheaper to reuse than make new.

At least "soda" still makes sense.

Hamburg, the food, not the city

For the Friday Food Fiesta Hamburger Challenge!

This is a Dagwood burger from Steers, the best fast-food burger joint in South Africa. Flame grilled goodness that beats the pants off McD and Burger King cardburgers.

La Carreta Cuban food #616


Image by Nemo’s great uncle
I love plantains, but hate yucca*. I eat rice—sticky japonica, not long-grained indica—almost every night.

* At least, the way that it’s prepared at La Carreta. Note that the food is generally abysmal there.

Answers.com tells me that yucca is the English spelling for American Spanish yuca (from Taino, for the linguists in the audience). It also hints that it’s the same as cassava and manioc, two other edible roots that I’ve read about.

See where this picture was taken. [?]

Lilian and David’s Club Sandwich – Just Fine Food

Lilian and David’s Club Sandwich – Just Fine Food AUD16.50

Lilian and David were smart. They ordered a club sandwich to share, so that they could have a vanilla slice as well!
—
We had lunch at Just Fine Food, just to try the vanilla slice, which was pretty good, but the vanilla flavour wasn’t as strong as I’d liked and the custard seemed to be too starchy, and less eggy and creamy. Still pretty good though. While we were there, about an hour, we saw 2 and a half trays sold. Each tray had 48 slices! Amazing.

Food crisis to cause malnutrition: UN


Image by publik16
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon announced on Tuesday that he was launching a task force to ensure a solid, coordinated international response to the food crisis. The task force will work to draft a strategy on both short- and long-term responses to food supply strains, which economists have linked to factors including high fuel and fertiliser costs, the use of crops for biofuels, and commodity market speculation.

Baked Ricotta and Potato Cake with Smoked Salmon – Relish Food Store AUD12.50


Image by avlxyz
Julia saw that the other diners all seemed to be having smoked salmon in something or the other, so she went for this.

The generous folds of smoked salmon was smoky and rich, and really luscious!

Compared to that, the baked potato and ricotta cake didn’t stand a chance, although it did stand quietly in the back preventing the salmon from overpowering your palate. The egg yolks were a bright orange, but it was a pity that the yolks were not runny, the way we liked it.

A champion of consistently high-quality food that keeps everyone from fussy five-year-olds and food-trendy mums to keep-it-plain-and-simple grandmas happy. Love the salmon, dill and potato cakes, egg and bacon pie and baked lemon cheesecake.
