Wordless Wednesday - Good enough to photograph
…then eat!
Oh, is that why!
I subscribed to an online Page-A-Day calendar last year, and for Valentine's, they gave me a code to subscribe to one for free this year. So I opted for the Fact or Crap calendar. Browsing January, I got the answer to a puzzlement: Why do you see the whole moon even when it's new? Y'know, you look up, see that bare line of a crescent, but can also make out the rest of the circle, the rest of the moon. Why isn't the dark part completely invisible? Earthshine, that's why. Just like the moon, the Earth reflects sunlight, too - enough to let you make out the whole moon even when it's dark. The strength of the earthshine depends on Earth's cloud cover. I knew the Earth reflected light, like the moon, if not as well; I just never realized that was why a new moon is visible. UPDATE: There was a derailment in the comments; two trains of thought couldn't stay on the same track. My American pop culture references do not extend to TV-series of the 1950...

Alice, I discovered it's a challenge getting food to look good on camera. So now I admire your food p0rn even more so!
Meatball pizza? Recipe... please?
I use this recipe for the cauliflower pizza crust:. I end up using a whole cauliflower (they're possibly a bit smaller in Norway) in a 10" dish and double the added ingredients because I like having a thicker crust. Plain tomato paste on crust, then toppings.
BTW, Jarlsberg is good pizza cheese. :-)
Silly me, I do most of my cooking only on weekends, anyway, living on leftovers the rest of the week. :-)
Leftovers are often the best part - good food and no work!
