Curry Chicken Salad Sandwich

Over the weekend, I saw that bitch on Barefoot Contessa make a deliciously simple lookin’ chicken salad sandwich. Seriously, she made it look scrumptious. So tonight, I wanted to do a chicken salad sandwich because it looked that good.

Mark suggested doing a twist to it. “What if we add curry?”

First thought was, “NO! Barefoot didn’t do it with curry so I don’t want to!”

A few seconds after my mini bitch fit, I thought “damn… that’s a delicious ass idea.” I know right? It was so easy. The longest part to this recipe is boiling the chicken in seasoned water. You know, salt, pepper, oregano, some basil and a couple chicken bouillon cubes. That Barefoot Contessa lady baked her chicken, but since we’re doing a curry twist, we might as well do it our own way now! There’s no turnin’ back.

So after that’s done, you chop up the chicken in bite sized pieced and add in some low fat mayo, chopped celery, onions, raisins and bell peppers (yes, bell peppers is key H2… sorry) and vwala. Pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes and you’ll have such a refreshing and delicious sandwich. Oh and we also used really good toasted garlic bread and had a pickle on stand by.

This shit was fucking good!!!

Everyone has a finger
But they can’t point me to the light
It can’t be that hard to find
After all we’re so bright

I don’t know if tomorrow has a day
I don’t know if the rays will shine my way again
All I know is that I’m standing in a place where
My future is like the skies of L.A.
Skies of L.A.

So hot for this not so hot Monday. Sad Face.

Calling all Edward Norton fans

Wow. I just watched The Painted Veil. Talk about amazing movies you didn’t know were amazing. Edward Norton and Naomi Watts are absolutely breathtaking in this film. I saw this on HBO on Demand and decided to check it out because of Edward. So glad that I did.

These characters manage to make you despise them at moments but ultimately, by the end, you really feel for them. I can’t recommend it enough. If you get a chance, check it out. The scenery is, because it takes place in China, absolutely perfect for cinematography.

If you watch it, let me know what you think!

The $37 Nachos:

Ok, so I said it cost about 37 bucks for all these ingredients, but that’s also because I bought excess of a lot of the ingredients to use with other recipes… at any rate, I loved every single bite lol.

Ingredients include:

- Chips
- Lean Ground Sirloin
- Onions
- Jalepenos
- Tomatoes
- Light Sour Cream
- Guacamole
- Cheese Dip
- Melted cheddar cheese
- Cumin, salt, fresh ground pepper, creole and spice
- Chipotle cube

Enjoy!

Parkhouse Eatery

If you want delicious food in a delicious neighborhood, go to Parkhouse Eatery in Hillcrest. It’s so good and their mimosas are perfect. I had the eggs benedict a few weeks ago and that shit melted in my mouth.

Mark and I went and we had a table in less than a minute. Others with parties of 4 or more had an unfortunate wait time of about 45 minutes. So if you are totally hungry and need to eat right away, this isn’t the spot. But if you go early enough, as in before your stomach starts to growl… then I highly recommend this place.

Um. HELLO.

There is also some boobage action going on with the female model. Get it boy. Get it. Back to work.

New 3.06 GHz 24in iMac

Oh hell yes I did. I ended up selling my beloved Macbook Pro. Good thing is, Mark needed a laptop for work, thus he became the happy buyer, along with a dashing 23in Cinema Display. So you know what this means right? That shit is still within my reach! LOL. But for real, that machine was and is still a work horse. The only thing is, it started to lag big time with my Canon 5dmkII files and I hate lag. That rainbow ball of death is one thing that I will never have patience for.

Anyway, this 3.06 GHz 24in iMac is a beast. I loaded CS4 and Lightroom 2 and WOW. No lag. None. I can work at peace again. It’s even faster than the fucking MacPro I have at work. Crazy right?! I don’t know why, but that thing can be a piece of shit sometimes lol. I think it’s because it’s pissed off that there is only 4GB of ram and it’s like, “Bitch please.”

Apple has the option of putting in 8GB of ram into their new iMacs, but they stupid with tryin’ to charge an extra G for that. I’m gonna just have to wait till cheaper 3rd party ram comes out. This thing is gonna FLY with 8GB of ram. And damn, moving computer files over is like moving for real. Throwin’ out shit you’ve been holding on to but is really just unnecessary (porn) or reminiscing about old photos and thinking, “Damn I look tore up,” or even stressing out hoping you get everything important. I’m even drinking wine while packing! It’s so the same lol. This new home should last me a few years.

Anjulie Boom

So the other day I went to a Jesse McCartney concert with Noogs and Mark… yea bitch, I said JMac, and this chic Anjulie Boom opened up for him (see myspace.com/anjulie).

She was dope! She reminded me of a non cracked out version of Amy Winehouse and she sang really well live. She looks like she has some 80’s whateva vibe about her too which I love. You should check her out. We got her contact info for possibly working with her in the future… but it was more drunk talk than anything. I mean, we’d love to work with her, but I think we were spilling out marketing mumbo jumbo. But hey, if you’re reading this because I tagged your name… holla atcha boy. I’d love to shoot you.

Testing Sigma 12-24mm EX DG

Went out to Mission Trails in San Diego to test out a new lens. We’re doing a Spring Fashion Shoot here for work (djpremium.com) and it was beautiful out. This 12mm is really fantastic for landscapes. Here are some test shots:

Surreal

Have some big shoots coming up!

New Sigma 24mm f1.8 Macro EX DG

Updated our growing gear and added a Sigma 24mm f1.8 Macro EX DG. This lens is amazing. Though the AF is a bit slow and noisy, the lens itself is sharp. So sharp it’s almost comparable to the Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro. Here are some sample images! Oh, also just ordered a Boda Dry Lens Bag for shooting on the go. Check it out here and a video here.

Here are the samples for the new Sigma 24mm f1.8 Macro!

Pretec 64GB Compact Flash Card

64gb_pretec

March 2009: Pretec creator of the highest capacity CompactFlash card in the world (100GB) and the fastest CF card in the world (433X), continues today its record breaking history in the field of speed and capacity by unveiling the extraordinary 666X CF card, the world’s fastest CF card.

Four times faster than a typical CF card, Pretec 666X CF’s dazzling 100MB/s speed is the largest speed boost in CF history. 666X CF card is the newest member of Pretec’s family of innovative flash memory cards, consistently first to market in high speed and capacity products; 233X and 333X CF cards were introduced by Pretec at Taipei in 2007, 64GB CF card started shipping in Sept. 2008, and 433X CF card were launched at Birmingham UK in Feb. 2009. -dpreview

Ok, who really needs a 64GB CF card? Who would rely on a 64GB CF card to put all their images in from a shoot or vacation? For real? 64GB of images?! That’s kinda ridiculous and it’s even more ridiculous that I want one (lol!) sans the 666x write speed. That fucking number keeps following me. Argh.

Totally Hot.

rob-lowe-395x298-pisces-astro

Like for real. Rob Lowe, 100%, should have been Zac Efron’s counterpart in the upcoming movie 17 Again. They have the same lips, nose and eyes. WTF?! I hate pretty people. Matthew Perry looks like a dead beat now that I don’t even want to post an image because he’ll make my blog ugly.

FAIL!
