Risotto

I didn’t cook a single meal while Sandy was gone. So tonight I broke out of my rut and made Sandy a asparagus & mushroom risotto.

Dragon Rouge

The DR just recently moved to a new location so we thought it was a good time to revisit it.

Bengie in transit

A day after Sandy came home, Beng was in transition from Manila to San Diego and had a layover in SFO so we picked him up and went out for dinner at Patio Filipino.

Bunny was in town for the CMAT in Berkeley so of course I insisted she sneak away so we could have lunch. Skates was close by so we enjoyed a quiet brunch. She had the Eggs Benedict Florentine & I had the Grilled Mahi Mahi. This was followed up by a small, small piece of bread pudding.

Canon G1X testing

It arrived Thurs the 7th via UPS. My 1st impressions?

Things I like: Low light performance – Image quality – Hot shoe – Remote release.

Things I don’t like: Min focusing distance 7.9″ (1.2″ with my S100) – Itz a bit chunky, but much smaller than a full size DSLR – Manual lens cap – No GPS .

Pican

Met up with Jim & Kelly for dinner at Pican. The meal was of course incredible. I loved my sorghum lacquered duck.

Annual Hawaii Trip

Time for my annual maintenance Hawaii trip. I got to stay 2 days this time. Of course I had to have Ramen at Menchanko-Tei. New dessert find Frost City it’s a cross between shave ice & ice cream. Even the local chickens like to check out the Pali Lookout. Had a wonderful dinner with Roy at Sansei Sushi.
