Chef Palinurus elephas

Dear Friends

the confinement due to the Covid-19 stimulates deep reflection about our future as well as, in my case, Fantasy in the cuisine in looking for simple recipes, rapid to prepare, not always cheap
(see in this blog: Mr-Chef, Pan-Boulgogi, Saussages, Octapus,  Palm-Lamb, Asparagus, Mayo, Salad, Bigoli, Tajine, Solen, Crab, Jacques, Sea, Pepers). Now is the time of Palinurus elephas known also as Languste, not to be confused with Palinurus. Buy Langusta tails enough for the participants. Cut the Carapace longitudinally, cook in boiling water for 10 min and serve together with Cherry tomatoes. White wine of Tea according to your preferences.

Poomsae Cabaret

Dear Friends

I ensure you that it was a real pleasure for me to resume some weeks ago, at home my Taekwondo Training. Starting from Na position and through Taeguk 1 Jang up to Poomsae Keumgang, I was delight to observe that my body preserved its force and flexibility and my brain continues to master its coordination and harmony with confidence (see the images). I let to you to identify from which Poomsaes the images were taken.

Venus and Moon

Dear Friends
this time of confinement at home, let me time to continue my astronomical observations. After Jupiter and Moon (see in this blog Supermoon) now are Venus and Moon. Just above the trees, in the magic, soft light of the early evening  (see the images) they provide the hope of a near end of the epidemics.
Your comments are welcome.

Easter SuperMoon 2020

Dear Friends

as astronomer, I have not escaped the Easter SuperMoon 2020 fascination. Surprisingly, my humble S9700 captured superb SuperMoon details as craters and mounts (see the images, right side of the disc) with the further bonus of the Jupiter majesty.

Grappa therapy

Dear Friends

now is evident. We live the Pandemic of the Covid-19. I don't repeat here the instructions that all you know and certainly practice for avoiding Infection.  I want only add one.  After every meal drink a small glass of your preferred Spirit. It will be a little pleasure for you in these gloomy days and will render your body hostile to the virus.
