Photograph - Cassava vs Yams: 2010

About Photograph

A Photographs (often shortened to photo) is an image created by light falling on a light-sensitive surface, usually photographic film or an electronic imager such as a CCD or a CMOS chip. Most photographs are created using a camera, which uses a lens to focus the scene's visible wavelengths of light into a reproduction of what the human eye would see. The process of creating photographs is called photography.

Photographs capture a life-like view of the subject whereas paintings were subject to the interpretations and level of skill of the painter. Thus, since daguerreotypes were rendered on a mirrored surface, many spiritualists also became practitioners of the new art form. Spiritualists would claim that the human image on the mirrored surface was akin to looking into one's soul. The spiritualists also believed that it would open their souls and let demons in.

Fried Cassava

Peel the cassava, cut into slices 4 inches fat and boil for 10 minutes in water to cover.

Aside and cool once you remove the tough fiber of the center, cut into thick sticks and fry in hot oil sunflower seeds until golden. Sprinkle with salt. Works well in small portions as a side dish with rice and vegetables, fried tofu, with plantains, etc.
