a pocket camera for photography snobs
I love my DSLR, but it can be a pain to carry around. I don’t own a point-and-shoot because I can’t stand the picture quality (I’m too in love with shallow depth-of-field), and I don’t have a cellphone with a camera to document what’s going on around me. Fortunately, I’m not the only one. Panasonic has come up with a small camera with interchangeable lenses. It’s been wish-listed.
what is that internet thing anyway??

test your color acuity
A fascinating test with 0 being good and 99 being bad. I got a 23. Is that bad?

Buffalo Chicken Flatbread
This recipe isn’t very scientific, but it’s delicious. I remember having lunch at a local restaurant here in Greenville and trying their buffalo chicken flatbread, a meal I couldn’t easily forget. Now, almost a year later, I set out to recreate this recipe and hope it lived up to the memories.
Many parts of this recipe can be made from scratch if you feel so inclined. Since Dan and I work full time plus do freelance work in the evenings, I try (since I’m the main cook now) to do something tasty, quick, and maybe healthy for dinner. I hope I haven’t disgraced this blog with my not-totally-made-from-scratch meal.
1. boneless chicken fingers
(We make our own by using Alton Brown’s pan-fried chicken method. We use more oil so the chicken is submerged so it cooks all the way around without overcooking the meat. We use Old Bay for the seasoning. This is probably the most time consuming part of the recipe.)
2. celery, cut into 1/2 – 1 1/2 inch matchsticks
3. buffalo sauce
4. ranch dressing
5. flatbread
Heat up the chicken and toss with buffalo sauce in a bowl. Place a proportionate amount of chicken in one half of each flatbread. Sprinkle with celery pieces. Add ranch dressing or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce. Fold the flatbread over like a taco. Dig in. YUM!!

BIKE
I got my bike today. I am sososososo excited. I’ve been saving up for a bike since about November, mostly influenced by Dan’s bike commuting and a couple friends and a boss being cyclists. It’s a Trek Madone 1.1 WSD bought from The Great Escape bike shop, where I got and everything. I took it out for a short ride with Dan to get acquainted with it. It’s really fun! My legs were pretty sore, and the saddle hurts my bottom, but I’m sure I’ll recover. I can’t wait to get a cycling computer and start my training plan!
