Sicilian recipe for a Saturday night.....Scacciatta!

Pizza dough, cut it in half, roll one half out very thin, transfer to an oiled baking sheet. Put filling ingredients on top -- chopped and blanched broccoli, salami, chopped red pepper, chopped onion, hot red pepper flakes, cheese of course (used parmesan and gorgonzola), really whatever you want. Roll out the other half thin, wipe with a tomato paste / anchovy paste melange, put on top of the other dough with the filling (paste side down). Seal edges, prick the top with a fork, kosher salt and cracked pepper on top, let sit 20 minutes. In the oven - 350 for 40 minutes (you may have to put foil around the edge of it so it doesn't brown too much before the middle). Should be crispy golden brown on top (I did have to put it under the broiler for the last few minutes - keep a close eye on it if you do). Pull out of the oven, brush top with olive oil, let sit for 10 minutes. Pour yourself a healthy dose of red wine. Cut into this puppy (I prefer a large, intimidating, violent cleaver). Enjoy.

M5 + 50 Summicron + Tri-x + Xtol


I returned home a few days ago from 2,000 miles of car travel across two states which have been only partially locked down, Wyoming and Nebraska, which have been barely affected by illness caused by the virus, but significantly affected by mandates restricting the ability of citizens to make a living. There will be some photos to follow, perhaps too many.
Nothing would be presented with any sense of irony or anything else. They're just pictures of things and a few people found along the way. Ways of coping vary significantly from place to place, anything from life goes on to the world as we knew it has ended.
I understand that good photos don't need or want comments appended to them. These are not those photos, so some will have comments to explain context to those stuck at home in metropolitan areas. As always, for what it's worth.
It's going to be a bit of a travelog, so some of the photos won't have "virus" written all over them, but will be coming from mostly empty venues and highways indicative of what it is like to travel through the country these days, some of it changed, some of it not.
 

What passes for a local protest of sorts.. Town Council passed a resolution/mandate/wish list that no one can do what these people are doing. The inevitable result being the doing of exactly that. What they are doing is meeting up and listening to each other read from the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights, mostly. And eating lunch. Newspaper photographer showed up as well, because of course.
Cops were sitting in their patrol car at the edge of the square, eating their lunches and watching on. Not arresting anyone because it's fairly common knowledge, even here, that town councils don't have the legal authority to declare martial law, just make some suggestions. So, everybody ate their lunches, listened to a civics lecture, and went home. There had been some light, but pointed, drive by yelling from passing vehicles, pro and con, based apparently more one on one's political bent, than on medical science.
As Dylan said, "nothing was revealed."

Yes, yes just another photo of a sign, and not a particularly good one at that. Am only posting this as an ad of sorts for David Brookover and his gallery. If anyone is ever here, who cares about both the art and the craft of photography, this is a must see gallery. The most beautiful Platinum Palladium work I have ever seen. Someone who deserves the term "artist". (Don't know him well enough to know, but hoping that Peyote is his dog and not his child.) Great guy, though, as well. Put it on your bucket list.
