No Challenge, But

[Bill Schultz]

You Guys made me real hungry so tonights dinner Yakatori.

On another note, been away for awhile unable to catch up on all the great cooks, especially the Yakatori Challenge. You all are amazing.

Everything except the garlic rounded up

Ginger Scallions and Garlic diced up

1Cup Soy, 1/4 cup of Mirin and Sake and two tablespoons of Sesame Oil blended together with the diced morsels and the chix thighs cut into chunks and into the fridge for the rest of the day.
Another batch of the exact same thing with the addition of 1/4 cup of sugar and on the stove to reduce by half.

The OTG heated up with lump, and the skewers ready, used pineapple and radishes with the chix and two skewers of shrooms, red bell.

Veggies on first

All done and heading in

Some good Ramen getting done quickly in the stock I made a couple of weeks ago

[Tim McCann]

Well done Bill! You need to open a restaurant!

 

[Dwain Pannell]

Wow. Beautifully done! I yield to your Yakitori sir.

 

[Cliff Bartlett]

Looking great, Bill. Great pictures too.

 

[Bob Correll]

Hey Bill, how's that new camera working out for you?
Oh, never mind, I see, I see!
Beautiful cook and photos!!

Great pics and Yak, Bill! Can I expect that bag-o-chicken on my doorstep anytime soon?

PS: Got any data on that last pic? Nice bokeh!

 

[Bill Schultz]

Believe it or not Jim, it was shot with flash. This camera takes the most beautiful flash pictures I have ever done. Got to dark when I sat down to eat so rather than pumping up the ISO I used the flash. F 2.8 @ 250 ISO 800

 

[JimK]

Wow. What lens? On board flash?

 

[Morgan C.]

Nice work Bill...I wish I had some of all of that right now!! Yum!!!

 

[Bill Schultz]

Built in flash and Nikon AF D 50mm 1.8 - .3 flash compensation

Bill, your pics are spot on! Loving the new cam?

I picked up a D7100. My first DSLR and I have a steep learning curve ahead of me! Any tips?

 

[John Solak]

Very nice cook and pics!!!

 

[Bob H.]

That D700 kicks out some nice images and you have kicked out some nice Yakatori Bill.

Thanks guy's and yes I am enjoying this D700 immensely.

Miguel that D7100 is supposed to be a h@ll of a camera, my only advise is get out and take pics, lots of pics. I learned on film and am a basic amateur but learned on Nikon and very old Canon manual cameras. I still shoot this camera in manual most of the time. I have a lot to learn with it yet.

Great pictures and yakatori Bill! If your photo skills are half of what your cooking skills are we're going to see some really great photos!
