Concision

In these columns we like to feature a picture with a only a few words to go with it.

Here, we have a recent dinner at raccoon headquarters prepared by chef Denise, photographed as an afterthought when there was only one piece of fish left unconsumed on the serving dish, itself an old glass French fish-shaped plate.

Presentation; so important.

The sea-fare is/was a North Atlantic cod fillet, covered with an inventive salsa sauce. It was delicious! Ere it was completely devoured, we quickly (but carefully) grabbed the Les Dix memorial 13.5 mega-pixel Nikon camera and snapped an exposure. We humbly say, this picture is good enough to be found in the Food Section of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. And that is a high standard.

Thus, saying all with an illustration, the SRN ends in its drive toward verbal thrift, reticence, and miniaturism in a straitened world.
