My latest project was to photograph The Gas Station, a gastro-pub in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania. The client wanted both interior shots and food shots for multiple uses.
View a sample of these shots on my Flickr Gas Station set. Check out their web site or pay them a visit and try out their food.
Living in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania I’m surrounded by the influence of the Pennsylvania Dutch. And I’m curious why there is not a German restaurant here. With the local markets in the area, the abundance of farms and butchers, there is a huge, fresh supply of vegetables, fruits, fish, beef, pork, and poultry.
What I envision is an establishment where a person can order schweinsbraten, wiener schnitzel, reiberdatschi, potato dumplings, grilled trout, goulash, apple cake, apple strudel, potato bread, and many other German foods. All of these can be made by ingredients provided by locals in the immediate area.
Sounds like a great idea to me.
This will be interesting to follow. Sean Caleb of CNN is finding out what it is like to live on food stamps for one month. Since he doesn’t qualify to use this program, he found that the most a single person can qualify for is $176 per month. That’s about $6.28 per day. Can you live on $6.28 per day?
Some statistics from his report already:
Tonight I made Lomo Saltado. And this is how I did it.
First I started with some new york strips which I cut into thin slices. I then marinaded them in rice vinegar with salt, pepper, and some garlic powder.
Next came the pepper, onion, and tomato. I’m not a fan of onions but I decided I would cook this with onion for flavor.
I sliced the onion, pepper, and cut the tomato into wedges.
Then I brought a large pan to a high heat and used some oil to stir fry the steak. After the steak was browned I added the onions. After that cooked for a few minutes I added the peppers and the tomato.
While I was cooking the steak I had french fries in the over cooking. When these were done I pulled them out of the oven and stirred them in with the other ingredients. Not too long though! You don’t want the french fries to get too soggy.
Here’s my finished plate. Yum.
