Looking around the kitchen and in the refrigerator and freezer, our collection of fats, many of them the residues of repasts past, seems to be remarkably varied just now…
From left to right—
Front row: lard (pig), bacon fat (pig), butter (cow)
Middle row: olive oil, beef marrow fat (cow), coconut oil, goose fat
Back: duck fat (and stock)
Each of them will be used, one day, in its own best way… Julia Child would approve!

This week’s Photo Challenge from “The Daily Post” is Object, and Ailsa’s over at “Where’s my backpack?” is Dry.
So, here are a few Dry Objects…
More photos taken (in NYC’s Central Park) on these days are here and here.
Another interpretation of “Object” was here, and another of “Dry” here.

Ailsa’s travel-themed photo challenge this week is Dry.
As kayakers, we like Wet. We don’t like Dry at all!
“I don’t believe this!! There was water all the way up to these rocks yesterday!?”
Denial
Anger
Depression
Acceptance

This week’s Photo Challenge is Object.
When we land somewhere on our kayaking expeditions, for lunch or to camp for the night, we aim to leave nothing behind and to take nothing with us when we leave again. But sometimes we find there a little object that just begs to be taken home as a souvenir…
Here is one such, in situ
It’s coming home with us
to join others, from other journeys
(This little green fish is a souvenir of our stay on Stockport Middle Ground during our 2011 trip down the Hudson from Albany to New York City.)

It’s almost the end of January, and we’re still looking up at that blank space on the wall where our 2014 calendar should be. But we aren’t going to buy one. Rather, like last year, we are going to make our own, selecting from Vlad’s photos those that seem to us to best capture the feeling of each month.
Now, finally, it’s done, and we’ve sent the calendar off to Shutterfly to be printed.
Here are the photos that we’ve selected:
(More photos are here)
Flow on, river! flow with the flood-tide, and ebb with the ebb-tide!
Frolic on, crested and scallop-edg’d waves!
Gorgeous clouds of the sun-set! drench with your splendor me, or the men and women generations after me
