At each full moon (plus or minus a day because of weather) I photographed the moon using an identical set up as to photograph the true size of the lunar disc. Equipment was a Canon EOS t2i and a Sigma 70 to 300 mm lens at 300 mm. Exposures were 1/500 to 1/1250 a second according to cloud cover, transparency, etc. (f/5.6 was used throughout the entire project) The first lunar disc was photographed during the "Super Moon" of 2011. At the time this photo was taken the moon was 356816 km from Earth. On October 11, 2011 the lunar disc reached its minimum size as the lunar distance was 406417 km. Fourteen months after the 2011 "Super Moon" the 2012 Super moon was photographed at a lunar distance of 356959 km. I am very thankful to live in the desert southwest of the United States during the completion of this project. I only encountered one night of significant cloud cover on the August 13, 2011 full moon. This could cover is typical during the summer monsoon season in Arizona. Fortunately the cover was light enabling a photograph of the lunar disc. If anyone is interested in a similar photo project my advice is to watch the focus ring on the zoom lens carefully! During the November 10 exposure the zoom ring slipped from 300 mm to 270 mm. I was doing the post-processing and nothing was making sense, I realized that the photos on this day were shot at 270 mm and were able to crop them to equal the size of the lunar disc that would be produced at 300 mm. All other full moon apparitions were without complications! The size difference is minimal even between apogee and perigee. I will be using the images in this slide to make a short movie. The size difference becomes more apparent as the movie is viewed. Note: The image MUST be viewed large to really appreciate the size difference!

Mini Chocolate Tower with "Parnassienne" chocolate mousse - Christopher's Restaurant This is a mini chocolate tower filled with "Parnassienne chocolate mousse" and fresh blueberries. <a href="https://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/restaurants/christopher-gross-parnassienne-au-chocolate-chocolate-tower-6546320" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.phoenixnewtimes.com/restaurants/christopher-gross-par...</a> What's better than chocolate? Three kinds of chocolate, of course. Chef Christopher Gross of Christopher's Restaurant and Crush Lounge created his often-imitated Parnassienne au Chocolate Chocolate Tower: Nearly half a foot of a dark chocolate lattice over a white chocolate tube that envelops a chocolate mousse center. Today he shares the recipe for his signature tower -- the same one he shared with Julia Child on her PBS master chef series -- so you can try your hand at chocolatiering at home. "Based in Phoenix, AZ, Christopher Gross is a James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef who has been recognized among the best in the United States, including Best French Restaurant, Best 10 Restaurant Wine Lists, Best 10 Restaurants with a View, and Best Romantic Restaurants. Recently, he was honored by DiRona (Distinguished Restaurants of North America) and the Ment'or Culinary Council. "Famed for his modern twists on classic French fare, Chef Christopher’s newest creation, Christopher’s at Wrigley Mansion earned a 2022 James Beard Outstanding Chef nomination, and has been recognized as Phoenix’s most innovative, enticing dining experience for its exclusively tasting-menu experience where the chefs also serve each dish. Named to the Scottsdale Culinary Hall of Fame in 2016, Chef Christopher has also been honored by Food & Wine magazine’s “America’s 10 Best New Chefs”, was the first chef in Arizona to be honored with the Robert Mondavi Culinary Award of Excellence and also created the now-nationwide "Flavors" fundraiser for the American Liver Association." food drink IMG_0952.jpg
Hudson Valley Foie Gras - Christopher's Restaurant This course was special and the way it was served was special. This is Hudson Valley Foie Gras with three different types of wild mushrooms in a reduced port. The plate was designed by local artist Paolo Soleri and the course was served covered by a Paolo Soleri bronze bell "cloche" that chimed softly when the server lifted it off the plate. We celebrated my birthday with a special night at Christopher's. Christopher has long been recognized as one of the best chefs. It is celebratory, elegant, and therefore expensive. Even to get in, you have to belong to the Wrigley Club. I have eaten at Michelin starred restaurants. Christopher's is every bit as good. If Michelin gets around to rating Arizona restaurants, I have no doubt Christopher's will be recognized. <a href="https://www.hudsonvalleyfoiegras.com/?msclkid=97097290e6d717842a14149c5025b819&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Hudson Valley - Branded | Search&utm_term=hudson valley foie gras&utm_content=Branded" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.hudsonvalleyfoiegras.com/?msclkid=97097290e6d717842a1...</a> CHEF CENTRIC FARMING "We are founded by chefs for chefs. What makes Hudson Valley unique is the connection of the farm to chefs, foodies, and the culinary world. Hudson Valley’s founders - Michael Ginor and Izzy Yanay - are inductees into the James Beard Foundation’s Who’s Who of Food and Beverage and are a core part of the culinary community in the US and worldwide. They felt that to get the perfect product, they needed to control the entire process – from raising the animals to processing and cooking. By doing so, we can maximize quality and freshness, and increase the connection of people to their food. We also built an artisanal kitchen at the farm where we produce our ready to eat charcuterie products. We are continually innovating and creating new products that push the boundaries of gourmet food production. We encourage visitors to give us a call and arrange a visit." <a href="https://www.wrigleymansion.com/christophers/" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.wrigleymansion.com/christophers/</a> "Juxtaposed against its historic setting, Christopher’s is a modern glass-and-steel gem showcasing an ever-changing tasting menu by James Beard Award-winning Chef Christopher Gross. Nestled beneath a towering Eucalyptus grove, enjoy Phoenix’s premier dining experience, with glass walls that cantilever open, a retractable roof to reveal the starry desert skies, and an open kitchen built around a flickering wood-fired grill.
