Kaffir Lime
The answer to
What is it? Part 4 is Kaffir Lime (
Citrus hystrix).
My neighbour has a beautiful kaffir lime tree growing in a pot near her front door. Knowing I’m a keen cook she generously suggested I take as many fruit and leaves as I want. So the weekend curry had to be Thai (red beef curry with peanuts). The zest and juice of these wonderfully knobbled (almost brain-like) fruit provide lots of astringent zing. The characteristic double-jointed leaves are also used widely in Thai and other south-east asian cuisines. They have a fresh, sour taste.

No pics of the curry I’m afraid.

Sorry about the long absence. Glad that my friends banded together and kept the internet going while I was quiet. Here’s a new “what is it?” for you.
What is it?
An easy one again I suspect. Soon as you guess it I’ll post the related article.

Here’s another for you to guess.
What is it?
This one is very common. Probably occurs everywhere in the world.
And the answer is…
Bill was right! It is a portrait of Ms Meany. Lee and Nina were also correct. I photographed the shoot of an old potato that happened to be the spitting image of Bill’s 4th grade teacher.
The shoot was about 5mm high. It was photographed with a Canon 350D and a 100mm macro lens.
Too easy perhaps?
