There isn’t anything like the smell of fresh biscuits being baked on a Sunday morning with a side of scrambled eggs. If you are like my family, you’ve always used biscuits made by the “dough boy” and were happy. Well not anymore! These are simple to make, fresher, and the recipe can be used as a base for other variations of biscuits! Just remove the blueberries and reduce sugar to 1 tablespoon.
Another quick recording I did with the Zoom H1 recorder. Still trying to replicate the clarity I got from the BOSS recorder. Looks like I’ll have to use a different pre-amp to get my good microphones to really shine. Enjoy!
A New Year and a new day to take the next step forward. They say you do your best work when you are filled most with emotions. Here’s just a random assortment of tones and melodies that express my feelings. It’s a bit long, and very random, but hey, that’s what emotional improvisation is about.
Nothing too fancy here, just a simple chicken burger, but this time made by grounding your own chicken. I got a new attachment for as gift for the holidays and suspect I’ll be having more interesting menu items appearing for the new year soon. You can also make this by just buying ground meat and mixing it together!
Just another quick recording I did off a friends BOSS BR-80 recorder. I used my Zoom H1 earlier which also produced equal results which prompted this recording to see just how good the BOSS version was. In any-case, I think you’ll recognize the theme here. I have a few different versions, but this one just sparkles. Enjoy!
On a sunny Saturday afternoon armed with my new Pentax Q, I decided to give it a good workout by doing a photo shoot of downtown Austin along Congress Avenue. Because the Q was so easy to use and switch between color and B&W, I decided to shoot B&W only and see what kind of photos I could get. It ended up being a great photo shoot and I got a lot of wonderful photos and even ran into one of my favorite celebrities.
Here is my review of the Pentax Q camera. This is Pentax’s first mirrorless camera and I’m happy to say they did amazing job in shrinking a DSLR down to this tiny compact size while providing all the functionality and quality you would expect. Great camera, and very fun and easy to use.
Hazelnut flavored biscotti is another one of my favorite cookies. Every time I walk into a cafe or go to an Italian restaurant I’m always looking for where they might be hiding these from me. You would think I would learn to make them by now but I was always intimidated because they seemed so special. Well I finally did make them and they are very easy to make that I hit myself for not making them sooner. The dough takes only five to ten minutes to make and you can make any type of variations you like!
Here you can see the two logs formed and flattened
Sliced into half inch sized cookies
About how many cookies you can expect from one batch.
I’ve had requests to make a video of me making some of my recipes, here’s an easy one for the flour-less chocolate cake. Original recipe can be found here: Devilish Flourless Chocolate Cake
Here’s a review of a handy dandy tool that is very useful to get odd angles and perspectives with your pocket camera. JOBY is know for their gorilla tripods that a let wrap them around poles, tree limbs, and other objects for taking unique photos. They released a new version a while ago that now has magnetic feet that make them even more versatile then before.
