Random pictures

Not a whole lot has gone on in the past couple weeks, but I was able to snap a few pictures. Two weeks ago while Laura was out of town I made some fat burgers that were super juicy and delicious. I used ground chuck (good fat content) and mixed in some salt, pepper, and fresh garlic. I topped them with thick provolone cheese, chili, and sauteed onions. These burgers were fantastic.








Last night Laura and I went to downtown Roswell to get some dinner. This place is great because there are several very good restaurants. We tried a Cajun place called Roux last night and it was delicious. The shrimp and grits were great and the shrimp poboy also terrific. We got fried gator bites that were nice, but they needed to be larger chunks. Afterwards we walked around the area then headed into our new favorite bakery (Alpine Bakery is currently closed due to relocation), Kelly Cakes. There Laura got her favorite strawberry cupcake and I couldn't decide between lemon and peanut butter/chocolate, so I got both. All of them were, as usual, fantastic!

Last weekend I took a photography class that focused (pun intended) on using available light to get great pictures. The emphasis of the class was talking good pictures of people. I learned a lot and also got the courage to start shooting in all manual mode. Kind of scary, I know, but I'm quickly getting the hang of it.




Simply reducing the saturation of the image gives a cool feeling to the picture. Laura told me how to edit this one. It came out very nice.






Delicious strawberry cupcake. If anybody wants to visit Laura and me, we'll take you here. I promise!
