December 6, 2010 - Popcorn fail.. but I win!

Well not quite popcorn. Attempt at making kettle corn which didnt work out too well. a little on the burnt side.

I entered the following photo in a contest that thepeak.fm was having about hidden gems in vancouver. This photo is taken from the top of seymour mountain from a few weeks ago. Pretty awesome view!

February 8, 2010 - Sushi class

Hello there reader. Today I went to a Sushi class with Heather and Rob. It was rather fun, got to learn about the history of where sushi came from and what the different types are. The photo for today is of the roll that i made. It contained avocado, asparagus, mini shrimp and japanese mayo sauce topped with sesame seeds.

Delicious.

January 26th - Utensils

So today was super busy again but will try to write something. Had a decent day at work today and another nice bike ride home. what a joy to have such nice weather in January! Had some delicious home made salads (one was a Kale with vinaigrette dressing and the other was a black bean with mango and avocado... mmm). Both DELICIOUS! The photo for today is of some cutlery because I could not think of anything else at the moment. So see below:

I have also started playing around with photoshop. The added text is very basic but I am just learning some of the more complex options and will try to incorporate some next time!

January 21st - Chilli!

Had a pretty fun day today. met up with Ben for some beers and chit chat after work today... cutting the text short today because I got home late. The photo for today was of some chilli peppers that I bought a long time ago. My initial plan was to plant the seeds and have a little operation to grow them. We will see if it still available. Also I might be gone for the month of February. If this is the case I will try to have at least one photo uploaded per day that I am away by the end of the month (iE - 28 photos posted by the end of the month). Interesting blog readings at a few of my favourite places to go on a daily basis

January 19th - Crushed

Did not get around to adding some text yesterday. So for whoever reads this besides Court, Heather and my parents here is a brief summary. Today I had an amazing time biking to work. I cant believe it is January! There was a beautiful sunrise with lots of pretty colours. Unfortunately i did not have my camera with me this morning because biking and shooting pictures = fail + injury. I had the pleasure of biking by the usual murder of crows that decides to migrate in to Vancouver from Burnaby on a daily basis. I am very intrigued by them and would love try out the bird vending machine that i saw on TED. potential gold mine. Since we are still at a time when it is dark when I leave work my photo of the day is yet again another indoor shot of something random. Today I couldn't decide on what to shoot. I was humming and haha-ing (?) about it and decided to take an old egg shell and crush it. This photo followed shortly:

So thus ends the post.

January 18th - Last of the tomatoes...

January 6th - Taking stock of soup

Interesting day today, got another sunny bike ride. Nothing else too much happened today, had a lovely dinner prepared by my fabulous wife. She prepared a spicy sweet potato soup with some coconut milk topper. Delicious. I recently planted some garlic and to my surprise it has just about doubled in height each day since i planted it. Maybe ill get around to taking some pictures before its too big.

January 4th - Special Chocolate fudge

Today marks the beginning of a new years resolution for myself of biking more. The journey seemed doable with my newly upgraded bike gear (mostly rain proofing). So my bike to work and back went well. When I got home I was greeted by some delicious chocolate brownies, but this is a special type (not 'special' brownies) because it has a very secrete ingredient to replace the flour. The shot was taken just before it was inhaled by a chocolate monster.

dessert devoured... delicious.
