KFC Double Down Chicken Sandwich
I managed to get a capture of the new KFC Double Down Chicken Sandwich which has gotten a lot of recent publicity . It has no bun but relies on two pieces of fried chicken which were very big . It has two slices of Monterey Jack and Pepper Jack cheese , two pieces of bacon and a shot of the Colonel’s special secret sauce . Info :To steal a phrase from a fellow fast-food chain, KFC is thinking outside the bun.The chicken chain rolls out its Double Down sandwich this weekend — although some might question whether it really is a sandwich. It consists of two white meat chicken breast fillets with a filling of bacon, Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese with Colonel’s Sauce (a spicy mayonnaise).The company announced the rollout on its Web site with a ticker counting down the minutes until the national release.The sandwich already has been a topic of late-night television monologues as well as postings on Internet message boards, some of which have contended the item was a hoax.“It was extremely popular in test. Obviously it’s a unique sandwich,” KFC spokesman Rick Maynard said.“For your real chicken sandwich lover, you no longer have to go to a burger place for a (not as tasty) chicken sandwich. This is so meaty, there is no room for the bun,” Maynard said. The latter quip will serve as the catchphrase in an upcoming national ad campaign to announce the Double Down.Pricing will be determined in individual markets, but Maynard said he expects the Double Down to sell “in the $5 range.”The Double Down comes either grilled or fried with KFC’s Original Recipe. The fried version has 540 calories, 32 grams of fat and 1,380 milligrams of sodium. The grilled version has 460 calories, 23 grams of fat and 1,430 milligrams of sodium.Current government guidelines recommend less than 2,300 mg of sodium per day for people over age 2. Most Americans consume about 3,500 milligrams daily. An entire meal should contain no more than 600 milligrams. Acceptable fat is about 65 grams daily on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Iftar
على مائدة الإفطار يتذكر الصائم أولئك الفقراء والمساكين الذين يستمر صومهم ساعات أطول وأياماً أكثر، فهم دائماً في صراع مع الجوع والعطش، لا يهنؤون بالطعام وأنواعه، بل قد لا يجدون ما يفطرون عليه، ولذلك جاء الترغيب النبوي بتفطير الصائم، حيث قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: (من فطر صائماً كان له مثل أجره، غير أنه لا ينقص من أجر الصائم شيئاً) رواه أصحاب السنن، وصححه الألباني.Ramadan is an opportunity for many well-off Muslims to provide free iftar meals to the less well-off people who cannot afford to buy food. Charitable people make arrangements with restaurants or cook at their homes to prepare and deliver all sorts of delicious delicacies outside mosques or at tents set up especially for the month to provide iftar, or send money to other countries where less well-off people cannot afford to buy food.

Instant Miso Ramen 味噌ラーメン (Srobist Boot Camp II Assignment 2)
Mmmm…… never get tired of a nice bowl of ramen, doesn’t matter whether they are instant noodle or restaurant serving they are just as satisfying. I took this picture for the strobist boot camp assignment ii, i don’t really know how to cook proper food, so i cook what i cook best, “Instant Noodle”. This is my first food photo,cooking it only took 5 minute setting it up and styling it(my wife food stylist wannabe ) for photoshoot took half hour but we had much fun shooting it. Another issue i face during this shot is to get the steam in the photo, i know there is unhealthy way to get the effect like blowing smoke at it but is there an healthy and efficient way?Lighting Info:430exii @ 1/8 into 20x20cm softbox camera left and 430exii @ 1/32 cto geled hide behind bowl point at the background, trigger by ST-E2.
