Camera and Coffee

Simple home pour-over on a Sunday morning...so little daylight this time of year, I need to shoot fast film and fast lenses just to get a useful shutter speed.

Decided to give the 907x a rest today....

My beautiful - and I mean beautiful - Bronica S2 with a 5cm f/3.5 Nikkor-H lens, recently overhauled by the Bronica Whisperer himself, Frank Marshman. Joining the Bronica is a hot percolated cuppa German Roast (okay it's from Aldi, but it's actually not bad), and the first panettone of the season. I'm sure there will be much more panettone to come this year :)

Nice, Vince. A perfect trinity. I've never heard of panettone before, but I've taken up baking during isolation and it looks like a yummy challenge. Lots of egg, it seems, but maybe I can find a vegan recipe.

Just a quick online search revealed a few vegan panettone recipes. I'd be interested to try one to compare!
 
What every good Canadian boy should do on a lazy Saturday afternoon - why make scones of course! Mary Berry's recipe from her BBC 'Country House Secrets' series :)

Accompanying the fresh, delicious scones is a cuppa Red Rose (sorry tea!) in a Royal Kendal fortune telling cup and saucer, along with a black Bronica S2a, 45 degree prism finder, Bronica L-bracket and a 75/2.8 lens with matching hood.

Old camera and some old coffee from the back of the cabinet for a fresh new year. Ran out of my good coffee and the shops are closed - so old coffee beans will have to do.

Ahhh biscotti, my local Italian cafe does home made biscotti, or rather it idid before the lockdown.

Easy to make - I have a biscotti cookbook, and once you get the basic recipe down you can pretty much do any flavour you like. There are actually a few savoury biscotti recipes in the book - they go nice with a glass of red wine :)
 
A spot of afternoon tea on this Christmas Eve with my 500CM and the CFVII 50C back, as well as some homemade honey almond cranberry biscotti. The cup and saucer are Peacock Pottery from 1905.

Many, many thanks; it reminded me of something and when I told the wife she remembered where the recipe book was and so we had some today.

I took a photo, whilst they were still warm, but it was a bit over exposed as I had to guess at the adjustment (blame the rice paper) and by the time I had put it in the computer and realised they were somewhat lacking in numbers... You wouldn't want an over done photo, would you?

Is the cookbook you have called Ciao Biscotti by Domenica Marchetti? That’s the one I have.

It's not so much a book but a box containing a heap of recipes gathered over the years, some pre-war, and so on. My wife being a retired scientist tends to experiment and rewrite them over the years. We also have one or two fairly well-known chefs in the "family and friends" group and they contribute from time to time. Today's recipe was inspired after stopping for coffee etc near Amiens in France; we've been back there about a dozen times since.
