Just arrived today!
Took it out this afternoon for a quick test but I forgot that I have to calibrate the focus with each individual lens, so the results are not so sharp.
Canon 5D MK III
Bread Pudding
I can’t remember where I saw this, but it was a recipe for bread pudding using Krispy Kreme donuts! I just modified a bread pud recipe. It turned out a bit too sweet, I suppose it was because of the sugar in the donuts. I’ll keep trying.
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.
Sandy is home
Bunny Food
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.
