Thanks, Gary. You and Joe both came to my rescue on this one. I’m half Italian and should have known the name.
Foodies never get it wrong, Joe. We just eat our mistakes. 😀

You may have discovered the winner of the best sandwich award, QD. Looks delicious.

Another beautiful presentation, Joe. Looks delicious as always.

Great photo and is delicious! I know what it is but can't possibly spell it, begins with an s.
Hi, Gary, it’s great to hear from you. Not sure of the real name but we always call them lobster claws. I think Rip Van Winkle ate one or two of these before he fell asleep. Does it to me every time.

Thank you for your kind comment, Joe. I’m still a little shaky but determined to be back with all my buddies again. It gives me a good goal to work towards.

An evocative image, John. And I am thoroughly enjoying it. It does bring back the scene from Our Town. I didn't appreciate the theatrics of it at the time I first studied it (I was maybe 14). But now, the words Emily asks, "does anyone truly understand the value of life while they live it" make total sense to me and I would probably answer the same as the Stage Manager. This photo encompasses all that is small town America.
Hi Carla. I appreciate your thoughtful comment. I read the play in high school English and didn’t really get it. When I was in my thirties, a girl I was friendly with in high school passed away and left behind her husband, also a classmate, and two young sons. The play came back to me then and has stayed with me ever since. I’ve kept a copy of the play all these years. The Emily I knew was named Donna. Thanks for stopping by, Carla.

I am looking forward to the meal. I know you will be sharing it with your wife.
My wife and I have been going out to lunch together every Saturday since we married in 1965. When the foodie section opened in May, I began taking pictures of my lunch with my iPhone. I’ve already posted all the ones I took and need to work on some new ones. Part of my problem is that my hands shake now so it will be a challenge. I plan to put my elbows on the table and anchor my arms like a tripod. I’m hoping for the best.

Yum!
Thanks, Irene, I’m glad you liked it. The problem with food photography is that I eat everything I shoot. The next group I’ll be joining will be weight watchers.

You have not lost your touch, John! That photo is excellent! I love your close up composition!
Thank you, Jill. That’s one I shot with my DSLR a while back. I hope to take something new in a restaurant to post over the next few weeks. I always enjoy hearing from you.

Several of you have asked how I’m doing. I can still shoot my iPhone sitting down and hope to post a few new shots in the future to stay involved. Here’s an oldie for now.
While you were reading this, I ate that entire pastry. 😀
