#fromthearchives: I just noticed that Women's Studies Int Forum made a piece I wrote w Iris van der Tuin many, many moons ago OA. In it, we use Nash's critique of intersectionality & diffract it with (and through) an interferential perspective. https://www.sciencedirect.com/.../pii/S0277539513001349

"(former) RV Poseidon" #FromTheArchives

Research vessel "Poseidon" at Kiel Seefischmarkt pier, taken w/ Agfa Optima II on Kodak BW400CN chomogenic b&w film. Just a preview scan, full negative frame, uncut & unedited.
@Ernst_Grabowsky Weil wir eben unter Deinem Post über den BW300 gesprochen haben. Ich habe aber offensichtlich gelogen: Meine letzte BW400 Rolle ist diese hier Januar 29, 2015. Ich sagte ja 2009, aber da hatte ich einen zum Flughafen Hamburg dabei. 😊

Shot w/ yellow/green-filter on Kodak Gold 200 film. Scanned to b/w in VueScan on Linux, a few adjustments for brightness and contrast as well as a bit of adding a very few warmer tones I've done with GIMP.

Catching lightning in a bottle.
That night I couldn’t sleep. Since the sky was open, I set out to the beach in hopes of photographing star trails. I was in #PuertoPadre, #Cuba and light pollution was virtually zero, so I had high hopes.
I hadn’t the faintest clue as to how long exposure had to be, but I figured an hour would be a good estimate. Since the only lens I had at that time was a #Canon EF 28-135 IS USM, I couldn’t include the Polestar if I also wanted to have the #sea in the foreground. However I included a desolated cabin (a hut really) in the frame which I would light paint with my flash.
About halfway through the exposure a first lightning flash. Although I had no way of knowing how it would result, I didn’t stop the exposure thinking it could add some extra panache to the resulting photo. Before long the storm built up and the sky was filled with lightning bolts.
Rain starting was my cue to stop exposure and collect everything and leave. When I arrived at the lodge I was soaking wet enveloped by showers of rain I never experienced before (and since.) More seriously, I hadn’t been able to keep my camera dry which was dripping wet also (it didn’t survive and died a couple of months later. The lens on the other hand was unharmed, still functioning normally when I sold it a couple of years later.)
Of course, I was curious at the result, although I halfheartedly expected nothing from it. Turned out it was my best lucky shot I ever made. Even the star trails are visible. Only downside is the cabin: even after a quadruple scan of the negative and some heavy lifting in #captureone (I tried other software as well) there’s no detail to be had and it remains a black square. I could do a retouch to clone it away, but I decided to leave it as it is, since it adds something to the story.

Baked Marinated King Oyster Mushrooms
How do you use King Oyster Mushrooms? We love them – they are easily purchased in Asian shops if you can’t find them in your regular grocery. Slice these giant beauties and marinate them before cooking – forming a heavenly caramelisation of the marinade. The stems, how cute they are when sliced, and they look amazing placed on a plate on their own.
I have had a dish similar to this in Thailand, where the mushrooms are served on blocks of the softest tofu you can ever imagine.
King Oyster Mushrooms are also known as King Trumpet Mushrooms, Trumpet Royale and Eryngii.

Pilafs, pulaos, pulau, mixed rice dishes – many names for a delicious technique for smartening up a plain grain (usually but not always rice) to use as a flavoursome side dish. It can be simple – just a few spices added – or a complex layering of flavours. They are usually without a dressing although they are sometimes topped with a dollop of yoghurt.

She was so occupied with her phone, she didn’t even notice I took a picture from her. Showed her afterwards, she was real surprised.

Yoghurt can be baked, but it isn’t often seen – sadly, in my honest opinion.
This recipe, from Irfan Orga’s 1956 book Cooking with Yoghurt, takes the most unusual of ingredient – Brussels Sprouts – covers them in yoghurt and bakes them. It is the most intriguing of dishes.
Even though a lemony yoghurt sauce is sometimes made with sprouts, I have never seen one that bakes them with yoghurt. It is a dish that reflects its mid-last-century origins, but nice enough to have in your repertoire of Brussels Sprouts recipes.
Plus I am always on the lookout for oven baked dishes that I can cook in Winter to warm the kitchen.

One of the precious gifts of Spring is Broad Beans. If you do not grow your own you miss the young, tender pods, no more than, say, 8cm long. Often smaller. Sweet with the grassy taste of Spring, these need not be podded or peeled – they can be used as they are.
If you are not so lucky, purchase them from your green grocer and always look for the younger pods. Remove the beans from the pods, scald them for a few minutes, and then remove the outer peel of each bean. Perfect! You can even buy frozen broad beans.
This simple salad pairs the beans with tomatoes and parmesan, a classic pairing, easy to prepare, delightful to eat. Even if the parmesan is a bit hard 😊
Broad beans are particularly good with parmesan, but it can be replaced with a creamy Persian feta. Cut into cubes and toss with the salad.
Garlic chips are also wonderful when add to the salad.
France is full of sauces. If you are going to categorise French food broadly, you might say – meat, sauce, butter, cheese, baked goods. It is pretty accurate – one of my comprehensive books on French cooking contains 2 salads and a small clutch of vegetable recipes. To be fair, (I have spent time working in France) French food does include a large variety of salads. It is just that the other elements have a stronger focus.
So, with a love of French food, we pick and choose from amongst the cuisine, and make to our #vegetarian style. This is a beautiful version of a Tomato Sauce – one we added to our collection of tomato sauces – and, like the others, it freezes very well. Also, of course, it is delicious.

Taking the wrong way also takes you to places…
I couldn’t wrap my head around it. The locals said this was the way to Pico Turquíno, the highest #mountain on #Cuba. But why was I walking miles and miles on a concrete road and not on a cute pathway like I imagined? Suddenly a jeep with 2 military stopped next to me.
What was I doing here? Walking up the mountain.
Why would I do that? Because I love to hike.
Why would one hike here? Because I love nature.
The two looked at each other in disbelief but clearly saw I didn’t had any harmful intentions, so they let me continue. But, having seen my camera dangling from my shoulder asked to put it away.
No pictures! If you take any pictures we will have to confiscate your camera… There’s a military camp uphill.
They looked serious enough, so I put my camera away and continued my journey only to arrive at a gate a couple of hours later. I couldn’t proceed and some guard urged me to return where I came from. I could see #picoturquino lying a little further, but there was no possibility to reach it from where I was. #Deception.
Later I learned that I had reached La Comándancia de la Plata de Sierra Maestra, a mouthful to say the old headquarters where #Castro led the revolution in ’58 against Batista and which were then (and probably still are) barracks to the Cuban military and which were standing in the way to reach Pico Turquíno. So I never got to reach the deep blue #peak because I came from the West. Had I come from the North it wouldn’t have been a problem.
(but Iat least I have seen Castro’s headquarters!)

Not the best looking sambol, but fresh and delish.
Mint Sambol is a Sri Lankan fresh chutney recipe akin to Pachadis or Thogayals of South India. It takes lots of mint leaves, some onion, garlic and chilli and grinds them with sultanas and coconut for sweetness, and lime juice for tang. It is a great accompaniment to rice or any Indian or Sri Lankan spicy dish. (Also as a spread in a salad sandwich, dolloped into soups or on haloumi or other such things.)
You can make it finely blended or chunky.
The recipe is from #SriLankanFlavours, by #ChannaDassanayaka.

Roasted Eggplant with Special Miso Sauce
The thing about #SpecialMisoSauce* is that it is rich and dark and almost overwhelming in its deep flavours, so it is perfect for dishes in which you want the sort of umami that things like fish sauce or anchovies usually provide. Not that it tastes the same but it does have that same affinity for certain ingredients.
And we all know just how well miso pairs with eggplant anyway – it is a classic combination in the miso-loving parts of the world. So in this dish we brought together eggplants and the Special Miso Sauce for wonderful results and a very simple dish.
