No he means saffron not the other golden stuff from the Lebanon.

Yes I know, the real stuff not the bits they sell for cheap at the bazaar. Or are we talking something different from Lebanon? I lost my connection on that years ago

We use Kirkland, Costco's brand.


When I was in grade school, one of our bulls got the crusty junk infection. I watched the vet work on him, and prayed fiercely that I would never get what the bull got.

Harley is a really crusty gross fellow. I will try to get the photo for Kody that he requested.

HAHA! Reminds me of a boyfriend I had in highschool. He was originally from Seattle and had moved to our small community to live with grandparents and go to school. One spring we were walking through our local park, which had a pond with ducks. The male ducks were doing their thing and fighting over and on top of a girl duck. My boyfriend FREAKED out that they were killing another duck. We also had milk cows at that time and had fresh milk. Boyfriend wouldn't drink our milk as it "came from a cow":

I am a city boy, I just rebelled and went looking for a little reality.

I think coffee is my only real weak spot...and if it's lousy coffee, I'm totally safe.

I enjoy other things (real fresh baked bread would be #2) but I'm a goner for good fresh coffee.

I'm roasting Kona as we speak. (not the K-dawg).

mother's home cooking
freshly baked bread
local honey
gourmet coffee
super fresh fish
sugar cane (always delicious, esp when you slice the cane off yourself)
Mangos off a tree

yup, I am a glutton for punishment

Hi Folks.

Quick check-in before we head North... We're headed to Knott's Berry Farm and Disneyland.

Have fun, you two.

Bottled water, the only time I drink it is when I'm out and that is all there is, or when holidaying in Mexico. Otherwise, it is straight outta the tap for me. I would much rather use my money for beer.

Came in safe and sound late yesterday. Drama on plane before we left the ground = passenger being escorted off, she was sitting right in front of us. Will tell all later but her "belligerent behavior began in WA state before we got on the plane.

As much as I love being in here with you all, weather and company and...and...and... is just too nice for me to even think about catching up during the day. Maybe tonight...or maybe not. *shrugs*

Heading back outside to watch for any vessel from the USCG.

Looking forward to hearing your updates, both on the 'drama' and with your holiday.

Great lesson.

I always use M too. That would bug me.

The biggest frustration with live view on the nikons is that you have to get your exposure right before you turn it on (it doesn't show proper exposure on the screen). How dumb is that?

Sounds like it's a dumb feature on both cameras (Canon and Nikon) if it doesn't "work" in M.

Might I say, it amazes me how well Dan has refined the model of his TR characters. He really has them down, now.

That's my random comment of the day.

LOL The other day I tried to get him to make you a laboratory guinea but he wouldn't do it. PETA and all.

But I always use M mode and after last night's debacle about why the flash wasn't working....I'd be a manual and flash shooter....so it would be annoying!!

Yes, you would qualify for one being majorly annoyed.

AAAaaahhh.. Bread is in a class by itself. The smell of fresh baking/baked bread is something special.

Thats how my 50D was as well. Seems that Canon has ficed that on the 7D. However, for macro the lighting is never enough and I have 2 strobes providing light, sometimes three so what i see in the screen is total black. I'm going to turn off the feature tonight and see if i can get my screen back while in manual.

I had such funny ideas too

When you look at it, if you kind of wince, close one eye, twist away in disgust, and pinch your lips closed real tight, it's not too bad. He likes to just drop that thing out for effect I think.

Then there is Bob, shall we talk about Bob? Big feller he is.

GAH!! I missed 2nd crack and over roasted my coffee because K decided to go all ballistic on someone who was walking by. (K is kenneled, so is H, while I roast coffee because the garage door has to be open...but the man is...gads I forget what the PC word is..."simple"...and K's barking made him nervous.)
I have to admit that K would have made me nervous. He was doing his best to imitate Maggie's cujo bark.

ZEKE!!! EWWWWW
