Enable Me: Photo Actions by Paint the Moon

It’s time to talk about photography again. And since photography and photo editing these days go hand in hand, let me point you to one of my favorite photo-actions designers: Paint the Moon Photography. Check out her amazing photos on her personal blog. I admit, I “stole” her photos (above & below) from her blog, but only to give you an idea of her amazing work and because I want to make you curious enough to jump right over to check out her blog yourself. But Paint the Moon Photography isn’t just about an amazing photographer. It’s also about the services she offers on her business website. Annie (as I believe her actual name is), has some amazing photo actions she sells over there and she even has several sets of freebies that will take your photo editing to the next level. Check out her place, as she has tutorials, videos and her amazing photos to share on her websites.

Food Corner: Eggplant Braised in Soy Sauce

Let me tell you about one of my favorite dishes around here: It’s called “Hongshao Qiezi” – eggplant braised in soy sauce, or  you may also refer to it as “red-cooked eggplant”. You can order it in any of the restaurants around here, and it actually is quite a common dish. Usually, the eggplant is cooked together with tomatoes, some kind of onions and the sauce that gives it its special flavor. Combined with all the spices that Chinese cuisine is so famous for, this eggplant dish is quite a delicious affair, and very much liked among most of the foreigners around here!
