Tonight I tried to duplicate that Pilipino Pork BBQ that Sandy loves so much. Uh I’m not quite there yet.
Porkage
Gold Gate
Had to work in Greenbrae today. I decided to try and shoot a pano of the GG Bridge. To overcome that pesky fence I mounted my G11 on a monopod and held it high over my head. The fence is an eyesore and the pano is crooked, but I’ll get it one day.
Okay it was bothering me so I fixed it.
Meatless Monday I
In an effort to better our health I’ve decided to initiate Meatless Mondays. I usually steer clear of the veggie dishes as I find them bland (unless it’s Indian food), but I had to try. So tonight with the help of my photo cookbook on my iPad I made a grilled portabella mushroom and polenta dish topped with a poached egg. Unfortunately it was bland as h*ll and I couldn’t finish my dinner… so I ate 4 slices of cinnamon bread. Hey there’s no meat in it! Yes I’ll keep trying.
Playing Opossum
Had a visitor today… Sandy talked me into letting him leave the property with just a warning. I almost threw him in the lagoon.
Miltonia 2010
The Miltonia is blooming…
Sonoma County Fair 2010
Today we decided to run up to Santa Rosa because we have never been to the Sonoma County Fair. Â We were looking participate in a sophisticated cultural event… okay it was really to see Splash Dogs, Acro-Cats and maybe even get in a Derby Dog Dash.
Annibirthery II
Tonight we celebrate our 2nd annual Annibirthery. August is the month for Rick & Jon’s birthdays, as well as wedding anniversaries for the Kung’s, Yuen’s & the Goya’s. This year we met at the Crouching Tiger in Redwood City.
Bugs Life
From this morning…
Max’s
Today we met for lunch at Max’s in Milpitas. After a 45 minute wait, we dined on Lumpia fresh and fried, Fried Chicken, Pancit, Sisig & laing. I got so excited I forgot to photograph everything. We’ll be eating leftovers for dinner.
Miltonia
About a year ago I purchased a Miltonia orchid at the hospital in Walnut Creek. The flowers were in bloom and I figured that will be the only time I see it, but unexpectedly it appears to be ready to bloom. I’d love to be able to tease my Father about this.
