Yeah, but I really miss the smell of darkroom chemicals.....
Just because you're not developing film anymore doesn't mean you can't still sniff the chemicals.

Any photos?Today (sorry, yesterday) I made a batch of butternut squash soup, the original recipe being Haitian Pumpkin and Beef Soup, from Milk Street. It was quite hot with the two chocolate habs I used in it, but then, I cut them in half, instead of leaving whole, as in the recipe. Flavor came out great!
That was sort of a late lunch, and later I made a red Thai curry, for dinner - another one of those things I made to use up some excess Thai basil I had to trim away. I don't think I even used half of it with that 1 1/2 cups. I put some more butternut in this, along with chicken, large chunks of onion (something I put in most of my Thai curries), some under-ripe pineapple, and some chunks of green pepper. I have a lot of left-overs now! And I have been known to eat Thai curry for breakfast! lol
Actually, that soup was hotter from those two habs than the Thai curry, with a half cup of curry paste.
They aren't food photos (mostly), but we do have a thread where we post photos we like - mostly taken by the person posting the photo. Oddly enough, it's called the Random Photo Thread.
You can find hundreds of photos for entertainment on a cold, lazy day. Or now, even.
Himself had a regular, every-other year job for a dance studio while he was in college and for the first six years we were married. He would do studio shots when the costumes arrived, then lots of photos on the day of the recital. The middle year we lived in an apartment coincided with a recital year. It's a good thing it was a 2-bedroom with a bath and a half. He took over the main bath, used the counter for some rolling contraption to keep the bath washing over a print, had his pans of solutions all in the tub, perched his enlarger on a sturdy card table that straddled the toilet, and pasted the just-rinsed photos all over the tile walls of the bathtub. Needless to say, he had to break down the darkroom regularly so we could maintain good hygiene.
By the time we moved into our house, he had found a very good lab - recommended by the staff photographer of Goodrich Tires. This is a picture that photographer took (if my memory is right) that hung in his office:
Linda, have you noticed how easy it is for us to go completely?
I don't mind. Conversations evolve
And besides, you're still talking about pictures, which is what I asked about in the first place
