I know this was in yesterday’s POD, but I wanted to try and capture the paper quality on this print – great sheen, nice depth – we’re really pleased with how it turned out.

Hey Man, Nice Shot!
3 recent shots from the hubbs I’ve got to share. 2 are leftovers from our Seattle trip, and one he took while on a hike in Denver. All are kickass IMHO.
To view more of our shots from Seattle, click here (Part 1), here (Part 2), here (Part 3) or here (Part 4).
And that’s it for now. Just had to share these 3 recently-processed shots. Pics from our recent trip to Hyde Park will be posted (somewhat) soon – it wasn’t the bevy of beauty trip that Seattle was, but it was still a nice PTO-killing weekend away.

Strawberry Chipotle Jam
This low-in-sugar jam has a slightly smoky, slightly tangy taste in the background (don’t worry – it’s not enough to overpower the berry taste) and makes a great add-in for freezer pops, ice creams, etc.
Strawberry Chipotle Jam
1 lb. strawberries, washed and de-stemmed
2 Tbsp. sugar
In a large skillet over medium heat, mash the strawberries and sugar with a potato masher until the berries are broken up and well on their way to being somewhat smooth. The sugar should disappear.
Add
1 Tbsp. adobo sauce from a can of chipotles
2 Tbsp. Jack Daniel’s Honey
Bring up to a low boil, drop the heat and simmer (slow tiny bubbles every once in awhile) about 20 minutes or until thickened and sludgy. When you drag a wooden spoon through the mixture, you should have clear tracks left.
Pour into sterilized glass canning jars (making sure to leave some head room) and screw on the lid.
Boil the jars a good 5 minutes to seal.
Makes 2 8 ounce jars.

Golden hour at the 2 Taste Wine Bar in Hyde Park. Omfg, fantastical food. Granted, most everything we’ve eaten at up here (all highly rated and/or heartily suggested) has been total crap. This however, was not. The blue crab / duck confit with whipped potatoes, port reduction, pickled caramelized onion and green beans special was amazing; and the filet was worth half again what they were charging based on taste alone.
I highly recommend if anywhere near town.
The B&B we stayed in, the Journey Inn, was also lovely.

And what a nice backyard to have. The Vanderbilt Mansion, Hyde Park NY.
