Leica & Stylus Around the World: Round #9

Holy Chicken!

The little Olympus arrived today. Thanks to Raphael packaging it had a save trip from France to Germany.

OK, now it's mine ... for the next couple of days.

It arrived just in time before I leave to visit my parents, so I will be able to get a photograph from the area I was born and one of the area I live now. Only the weather is no good timing, but so we get a chance to check if the camera is waterproof. Who is going to develop the film? Just take a note that it is already pre-soaked

Cheers
Ruediger

Holy chickens... Did someone say chickens? Not from the Leica, since that camera has Tri-X in it, of course. F2AS with 50/1.4 AI. Ektar 100.

Coq a vin blanc might be appropriate.

Ingredients

Wow, looks tasty, and much less common than the classical "Coq au vin (rouge)", which is rather prepared with red wine, and sometime appropriate for accomodate an ederly tough volatile, btw

Thanks Tim, for the recipe !

@John : nice poultry shot ! The greys are Scotch Greys (Poule écossaise in Version Française) ?

I find a baseball bat is good for tenderizing, with a weak lye solution if necessary.

The greys are Scotch Greys?

Cooked in Scotch instead of wine?

Wasting Scotch like that is grounds for dismissal.

This is your only warning.

Ya, I have a drinking problem. I can't afford GOOD scotch. Lagavulin is about $80 a bottle.

Once you have Lagavulin, you never go back.

I just think of blends as a different drink. All is good.

Due to the newly screwed-up state of alcohol sales here in WA State, our vast selection of fine whiskies has dwindled down to an assortment of Canadian blends. I'm staring at a pair of bottles of blended Canadian whisky right now: Crown Royal (gag!) and Pendleton, which actually ain't bad. Last week I choked down a bottle of Seagram's 7 Crown, and while I was able to finish it, I won't be going down that rutted and potholed road again. My favorite, Cragganmore, shot up in price from $45 to over $80 when we misteakenly passed the Costco-sponsored liquor privatization law last year. Laphroaig, Lagavulin, Talisker, all gone beyond my means. Balvenie Portwood (another favorite) isn't even available around here anymore.

Uninformed voters suck. So does Crown Royal.

The chickens in the shot I posted are Barred Rock and what's usually referred to as easter egger chickens. They produce blue and green colored eggs, whereas the Barred Rock chickens produce the usual brown eggs.

Irish and Bourbon = good.

Scotch = good for cleaning paint brushes in.

Crown Royal and Seagrams 7 are rye whiskey's, not to be confused with single malt Scotch or Irish whisky. It is meant to be drunk with lots of ice and some coke, rarely straight up. Hopefully it was at least cheap
