Seven Easy Steps to Enjoying Delicious Fish & Chips

Step 1: Locate chippy. (In this case, one attached to The Lower Deck restaurant in Portree Harbour on the Isle of Skye.)



Step 2: Find suitable unloading surface.



Step 3: Unload. Watch steam rise from fresh packets.



Step 4: Soak in how ridiculously delicious the food looks.



Step 5: Locate suitable dining area. (The backseat of a Vauxhall Corsa works swimmingly well.)



Step 6: Locate suitable dining partner. (Garrett works swimmingly well.)



Step 7: Bask in the memory of the amazingly good food just consumed.



Those promised updates from our adventuring in Orkney and around the Highlands are taking a bit longer than expected. Hopefully this will keep your appetites whet while those get cooked up.

Completely unrelated, I thought I would share this great collection of photos by Callie Shell showing a side of Obama we don't often get to see and, in particular, this really beautiful photo:


Of the picture, the photographer says,

It was primary morning in New Hampshire. Barack and Michelle Obama had been campaigning separately all week. In the first few months of 2008 their private time seemed to consist of a few crossover moments in back hallways before rallies. This moment was rare and you could tell they just loved being able to sit together. Jan. 8, 2008.

This photo won first place in the "People in the News: Stories" category of the World Press Photo contest. Well deserved.
