Holiday iPhonography

The evening of the 25th, we shared a celebratory dinner with friends.  The host created a very simple dessert that was a visual treat in the making, so here is some iPhonography of the occasion.  Cherries Jubilee, like any flambĂ©, involves burning off the alcohol from a liqueur.  The "sauce" was preheated over an open flame.


After being poured over the cherries, it was lit within the pan.


Then the concoction was enjoyed over ice cream.


No doubt Escoffier did a fancier job for Queen Victoria, but Rick LaBach's dessert was enjoyed by all!


A cat may look upon a king.  Presumably a cat may look upon a queen as well.  Rick's cat Sparkle looked upon whomever she chose, and stayed in the shadows for this mysterious portrait.

I can't leave Ziva out of the picture for long.  Friday morning, she ran through rows of puddles along the Greenway, and waded more slowly through this mini-pond.  I've named the photo "Ziva, Center of a Tension".

  1. As much as I love setting food afire (where's my kitchen torch?), I have to give the prizes to Sparkle and Ziva -- and to you for your propunsity for wordplay. :-)

    1. I'll have to steal "propunsity" when I get my word coinage blog going. It's good enough to render "propunsity for wordplay" a redundant phrase.

  2. "Ziva, Center of a Tension" is brilliant! The leash is a tension line as are, presumedly, the zig-zag ripples in the water with Ziva in the center. What a great photo and title!

    1. If that is what it sounds like, might have risked serious burns. So, next time! ;<D
