Week 2 in Seattle: Breakfast time

I'm kind of obsessed with cooking lately. I don't necessarily have to have the top quality organic ingredients, but I don't go cheap either. It's all about taste for me. If the no-name ingredient tastes better, so be it. Saturday I made french toast from a loaf of nearly-stale french bread, bacon, and fresh blueberries. Oh yea- And New York State Maple syrup that I got from a friend back home. There is something satisfying about making a delicious meal and photographing it. Maybe one day I'll make a cookbook.


Cheers,

Week 2 in New York: Syracusicles

For anyone in NYC and the outlying areas that thinks it's cold and snowy (trust me, they all do) I challenge you to spend a weekend trying to get to Syracuse and back without dying. I drove up this weekend (thinking it would be clear) for a friend's birthday party. To my surprise, I got a full dish of lake effect with a side of negative degree temperatures. Although treacherous, snowy weather can certainly be beautiful. Everything was blanketed in fluffy, diamond studded cotton, and lined with icy bling. Now back to my hood after being snowed in for two days, I'm ready for whatever downstate has to show me in the week to come.

Cheers,
