Market Man,

When I find the korean salt baked in bamboo tubes, I will send you some.

CecileJ, I actually have a tabletop tripod, but I find it gets in the way as I tend to shoot so many shots and quickly at that…

MM, your pix are really great! It’s not the camera, it’s the “eye” for pix that makes them turn out well. Hindi halata yung shaking. I have those shakes too. They’re called “essential tremors” (in Tagalog, pasma!). Try using a table top tripod ( I have one that is about 6 inches tall lang. Great for taking close up shots of objects on the table.)

Liz, thanks and the picture was just taken in some glass vials that I use for flowers! Apicio, yes, the local rock salt is closer to kosher as the crystal are really large and the bread using western salt measures could be a problem… mind you, I do like a salty pan de sal but not heart palpitation material! mina, welcome! I have over 650 posts in the archives in case you want to go back in time and read some of the favorites… you flatter me on the photos, I use an “instamatic” Canon Ixus 430 4.0 megapixel camera and my desk lamp lately as it has been raining so much lately in Manila… normally I try to use natural sun light. My hand shakes more than if I had Parkinson’s so I have to really hope that a picture or two will turn out okay… acmr, if you liked the crab with sotanghon, you might like the chilli crabs a la marketman, it’s our house favorite at the beach… sha, nice to hear from you! Yup 60 Euro sounds about right, outrageous, no? When are you back to Greece?
