Woke up early and decided to check out the sunrise. The low level clouds kept it from being spectacular, but the high level clouds made it interesting.
Unplanned Sunrise
Foggy
It was foggy this morning on my way to Marysville.
Bunny 10 year Lunch
I think it’s been 10 years since we’ve seen each other, so today I met Bunny and her kids (Olivia & Ian) at Ramen Nagi.
Mother & Son
Tonight was Tawny’s turn with Leo. Of course everyone’s gotta jump in the frame.
Father & Son
I finally got to shoot a portrait of Drew & Leo. While dialing in my exposure Stinky was a stand in for Leo.
Socks Shoot
I purchased a few socks for the gurlz to wear for a photoshoot. I let them decide which animal to model.
Brisket Wednesday
I finally got over my illness so to celebrate I prepared a brisket for dinner. This process started 6:30 in the morning.
I trimmed off about 5lbs of fat, but kept it whole as an experiment. I may regret that decision later. Of course it started to rain and I felt like a bonehead for trying to do this on a day like this.
After the feeding frenzy there wasn’t much left. I pretended to be shocked and angered but I was truly flattered. For dessert Sandy made an incredible Tiramisu. Additional photos by Aleki, Macy & Freda.
Taco Tuesday
As fate would have it there was no lengua to be found, so we shifted to a meatless taco Tuesday. Sadly we all forgot to take any photos.
Italian Monday Dinner
While we wait on the rest of the family to arrive. Sandy made her vongole and I made a cheesy foccacia. Of course I forgot to take photos.
2024 Pilipino Invasion
Since Mommi is visiting we have a influx of family coming from the north, south, east & west. Our small little house will be overstuffed. I’ve been slowly preparing for this event and I was excited to cook and introduce some local beers in the process. What I didn’t prepare for was my recent illness.
Sunday: Most are coming in this evening. So for dinner I prepared an Ultimate Pork Chop with baked apples, puree of celery root & green beans, but sadly that had to be delivered to their rental house rather than served here.
Alex got to meet is 3 month old Grandson Leo for the first time.
