Pizza Pizza
My pizza game is slowly improving. I feel confident with my iron skillet Detroit style version. I’m just starting my Neapolitan versions. Last week I made a pear, blue cheese, candied walnuts with a balsamic reduction.
Cancer
When I bought this beer it was for presenting to someone who may be touched by cancer. I didn’t count on it being me.
Ramen Station
We found a Ramen place that reminds us of Japan. You order at the vending station and it gets delivered via service window. There is no human interaction.
Rhea & Max
Rhea & Max are up for the weekend and tonight Rhea treated us to a great dinner at Alley & Vine.
Grain Bakers
Alan turned me on to a bread baking class that uses spent grains from the local breweries. This class was held at Faction Brewing here in Alameda.
Easter 2024
This Sunday we went to Matt & Cait’s house for Easter.
Southern Oregon
Had to drive up to Medford, Ashland & Klamath Falls for 3 weeks now. That’s too much work and no time to take photos. Gotta bring that tripod next time. Actually I found out how to do long exposures with my iphone.
I did manage to find a good brewery in Ashland.
Also got to visit with Leo in Bend. Seems like all I do is work and eat.
Nico Hoops Yuen
Today I photographed Nico Bleeko at his basketball playoff game (They won). The ding dang lights in the gym were so dim I had to shoot at ISO6400. The resulting images were so noisy I had to convert them to B&W and go through a long noise reduction process. The things I do for Nico.
Cast Iron Pan Pizza
I’ve been wanting to make Pizza for the longest time. So I made one for dinner (Americas Test Kitchen recipe) and one for happy hour. It was supposed to be fermented in the frig for 12-24 hours, but I didn’t have the patience.
