the online magazine i am a contributing photographer for, gutter magazine, just got some nice kudos:

I haven’t really paid much attention to online magazines because I think websites should be websites and magazines should be magazines and when they try to mix those roles it turns to shit. I especially hate that online reader that allows lazy publishers to turn their newsstand version in an unreadable online/downloadable version. A computer screen is not a piece of paper and people who are sitting in front of their computer screens are in work mode or information gathering mode not hang out and enjoy a good page turner mode.

A contributor on Photo Rank submitted a link (here) to Gutter Magazine (here) and I have to say it’s the first time I’ve thought “that’s how a magazine should look online.� My favorite feature is that I can read it backwards, which is how I read all magazines and the navigation bar on the bottom just feels like the perfect tool for reading an online magazine. Well done Gutter. - link

Go Joe! Check out the magazine too.

no no no or yes yes yes?

I'm leaning towards "hello sailor."

Maryland White Potato Pie

2 Medium Potatoes, cooked, peeled and mashed
2/3 cup butter or margarine
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup milk
2 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
4 eggs, beaten
1 unbaked (9-inch) pastry shell

Combine potatoes, butter, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium mixing bowl; mix well. Gradually add whipping cream and milk, stirring until well blended. Stir in lemon rind, juice, vanilla and nutmeg. Add eggs; mix well.
Pour mixture into pastry shell. Bake at 350 for 55 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean [I NEVER use that method! A clean knife=burntass pie/cake - Kara]. Cool. Yield: one 9-inch pie.
