New Year, New Camera, New Soup
First off, much thanks to all of our family in enabling our cooking / photographing habit. Also thanks to Nathan for his exhaustive research in selecting the *perfect* digital SLR for documenting all of life's little events (you know, yawning cats, vegetables that have graced our kitchen counter...)
As that suggests: we got a Canon digital SLR for Christmas- it is stupendous! Sadly, our old point-and-shoot digital camera was falling behind the technology curve for years and after it's screen met an unfortunate end in a NYC diner, Nathan finally convinced me it was time for an upgrade.
What better way to ring in the New Year (and break in the new camera) than sharing a few snaps of a beautiful Thai-ish/Indian-ish Coconut Red Lentil Soup, courtesy of 101cookbooks. Aside from the title ingredients, this soup includes carrot, ginger, scallions, a hefty amount of curry powder, and golden rasins. I can tell you it smells heavenly when cooking and tastes great over quinoa.
I just re-read my last post and noticed that three months ago I was prognosticating a winter filled with lentils. Funny that.
