Culinary

I don’t consider myself a ‘Gourmet Chef’ or a ‘Chef’ or even a ‘cook’, but I can make it up. Maybe I’ll just call myself an expert and end up on CNN the next time there is a BREAKING NEWS story about food.

“Chicken… The Wanna-be Meat” - I am greatly disturbed by the number of restaurants that ask me if I’d like a chicken breast on my burger instead of meat.

Email from a Chicken - When a coward emails me to complain about my opinion (fact) that chicken isn’t real meat, he/she should at least put their real email address.

How to Buy Steak Cheap - After buying 1.046 kg of Rib Grilling steak for only 11 cents, I thought I’d share how a friend and I were able to do it.

“Meat Me” - The above article has gone around the world and restaurant owners everywhere want me to help them get their meat real cheap. This is an email and response that came and went to the United Arab Emirates (which is by Saudi Arabia & Iraq if you are from the US and aren’t sure where that is.)

Marriage

Since Julie and I exchanged our vows in May, we have received advice from hundreds of people.

“Don’t Cook Bacon Naked” and other Marriage Advice - This is a list of marriage recipes given to us at a party thrown for us by co-workers.

Photography

It isn’t hard to pick up a camera and press the button on top. Actually, try giving your camera to someone else and see how many times out of ten the person has trouble. Honestly, the hard part of photography is getting that photo that people want to look at. Here’s some free advice from the photographer who took the picture of the yellow truck.

How to get the Right Shot Everytime Part One - When we developed the 189 pictures from the disposable cameras we provided to guests at are wedding reception, we were surprised to find out only a quarter turned out. This part of the two part article looks at ‘If the Room is Dark, Turn the Flash On’, ‘Get the Shoe Shot’ and ‘Red Eyes are from the Devil’.

How to get the Right Shot Everytime Part Two - The second half of HtgtRSE looks at ‘Posed vs Candid’, ‘Setting up the Background’ and ‘Using Props’.

In a moment of madness, I have decided to post reviews of things that I enjoy. My mom told me if I don’t have anything nice to say don’t say anything so if I don’t like somewhere, I won’t include it. Of course, I may have just forgotten so you’ll have to guess what I don’t like.

Places to Eat - This list of restaurants is a guide to the establishments I feel do the best job of filling me up. I don’t include the high priced places on the tops of buildings that have $20 minimum charges and give you a 3 ounce steak for the price of a Honda.

Web Development Resources - From programs to magazines, these are the tools of the trade. (For me anyways). If you don’t agree… I don’t care. Use what you want.
