New Wallpaper: Dark Iris Clarity and Drops

clarity and drops.., originally uploaded by alfarman.

New wallpaper for the home computer. This photograph takes the natural and stages it in a very un-natural way--twisted, against a harsh black background, with water droplets carefully arranged on its surface. The color and vibrancy shine through, however, and the texture is fabulous.

Thanks to everyone who came to the Sumo Party! We had a decent turnout, despite a number of schedule conflicts and the bout of Plague that seems to be sweeping through (I can count about a dozen people off the top of my head), and I hope everybody had fun! The recipe for "Sumo Soup" (Good Luck Chankonabe) is here. For the vegetarian/vegan version, I subbed in an extra cake of firm tofu, removed the chicken, and used a combination of vegetable broth and vegetarian dumpling soup base.

Before I Forget....
