I wish I had this photo before we went to Rome. I could have duplicated it.
Rome 1975
That Big Red Thing
Had to go over the Golden Gate Bridge today so I thought I’d stop and shoot a few.
10-10-10 Pho Ha
Mary Ann was in town so we drove down to San Jose to meet her for a Pho lunch. I like my T-Shirt better, although I should have shaved. To further the Vietnamese experience I had an avocado shake afterwards.
Pasta Throwdown
Inspired by the Ikedas, Sandy decided it was time to cook our black ink pasta we purchased from Italy. She challenged me to a black pasta throwdown. We had to acquire our ingredients from the same local store and the dishes had to be ready by 6:00.
Challenger 1: Pilipino Pasta Lover – Sandy Barin-Goya. Sandy made black pasta in shrimp garlic cream sauce.
Challenge 2: Cussing Chef – Grant Goya. I made a black pasta with a Gorgonzola cheese sauce.
The judges deemed it was a draw. Sandy’s dish was rather bland and mine was way too strong. It actually tasted good when we combined our sauces. We will have a rematch as we have learned valuable lessons, one being it’s impossible to make black pasta look good with a white sauce.
Fine dining
Crissy needed to be brought in for service so we decided to eat somewhere close by the car dealership.
The pancake puppies were really good, I feel like such a pig.
G12 1st look
Finally got a chance to shoot my new G12. We ate at our local Harborview Chinese restaurant. Any cam can shoot in bright daylight so this was a suitable test, albeit a short test.
Friday Date Night
Last Friday we had a date night. We ended up at the Slanted Door at the ferry terminal.
Italian Revolt
As soon as we got back from Italy we agreed not to eat Italian, so we went to Angel Fish instead.
New G12
Out with the old, in with the new…
Italy through the eyes of Sandy
I did have to borrow a few photos from Sandy to complete my blog, but as I’m sure you know she takes great photos on her own. So here is Italy through Sandy’s eye’s.
