I'll make you a sponsor offer you can't refuse...
Pastel de nata was really one of my surprise discoveries last year. It's surprisingly good for how simple it is.
just to clarify, the ones in macau (there are 3 bakeries), is a recipe based on the pastel de nata, but further tweaked by andrew stow in the late 1980's (the original macanese egg tart creator), tastes very different to the ones in portugal. both look more or less the same and i've tasted both in their respective countries/regions, and the macanese egg tart is way, way better. i have never found the lord stow forumla online, only speculated recipes.
Always stop by Lord Stow’s when in Asia. That dozen in a box never survives the car trip.
Funny story, first time in Portugal last year, we stopped by a bakery. We got excited and pointed and gestured and said “three of the Portuguese egg tarts please.” And the staff said: “yeah, three egg tarts”

Ouray, Colorado. If you have time to take a quick veer off the highway, this small town is worth exploring.
Some interesting beer-bellied Aspens I met on the hike

This is in Munich, near Viktualienmarkt. "Viktualien" is an old-fashioned term for produce. The market was establish in 1807, having moved from what today is the town square, Marienplatz.
The church is "Der Alte Peter" (old Peter). It is famous for its eight clock faces, which I mentioned previously.
The market has pretty much every kind of produce imaginable. Vegetables, fruit, meat, game, poultry, cheese, breads, booze, you name it. And, of course, there is a beer garden
A few pics of the stalls there:

I'm currently staying near Kirchberg, Austria. The house I'm in has been rented by my uncle and a few of his friends for 45 years. I spent a lot of time there as a young man. Mostly in winter, because the skiing in the area is excellent. The house is 520 years old.
The view from the terrace isn't half bad:
The kitchen is rather basic, with only a wood-fired stove.
The living room has an ancient "Kachelofen". That's a wood-fired and tiled stone oven that stores heat for many hours once it is heated up. (The winters are grimm up here, at 1000 m above sea level.)

The scenery there is amazing! I could just stare at the rolling hills and mountains all day
Awesome house, too.
Love Austria, particularly Weinershnitzel!
Its a bit of a way from there, but if you go to Salzberg, after you have do, rei meed up and down the steps a few times, make sure you try a "salzburg nockerl" Best sugar rush I've ever had!

That’s a really fine bunch of tree portraits.
I just got back from a few days in the Catlins. It is the lower south east corner on New Zealand.

Looks like a fine place for landscape photography. Still on my bucket list.
It was fun. It took about 30 minutes to land it. They had to shoot it in the head to bring it aboard. It was around 130 pounds. I caught a 100 pounder the next day. I have lots of Halibut in my freezer. I need all recipes as I get tired of eating it cooked the same way.
I don't know what Halibut costs per pound but I think I might be ahead in fish.
Holler if you can't read it and I can take a better scan. Halibut would be a good substitute for redfish here.
