Scott Spencer of Spencer's Pantry came over and cooked an elaborate, absolutely delicious 5 course meal. Spencer loves to cook but not on the line so he's taken his passion on the road. He charges only for the cost of produce (for now) and spends the evening answering your cooking questions, partaking in the wine, and hanging out. He also does all the dishes. Did I mention, he's totally rad?

On our menu:
Parmigiano Reggiano Butter

Porcini Mushroom Soup with Truffle Shitake Foam

Baby Beet Shoots, Pickled Carrots and Beets, Grits with Truffle Oil, and Pork Belly topped with a Sherry Vinaigrette and Pickled Mustard Seeds

Doubles

I went to NYC one weekend this past summer with a roll of black and white film loaded in my camera. A couple hours into my trip I was restless to shoot in color so I wound the film back up put it in a canister and forgot about it. Over time I got over the idea of shooting over my pictures and decided to take the roll with me back to NJ for my grandfather's 89th birthday. Here are six of the most interesting doubles.
