Had to go by school and since the lighting was soft enough had to get this photo with the mountains as a nice backdrop

Since the weather has been a bit cloudy and rainy I thought this pic would best be served to take in sepia tone. It gives the tree that old school look and especially with the cloud backdrop

While in one of my favorite specialty food stores I just had to get this shot. All those colors represent the many different types of sugar they have. Everything from caster, sanding, crystal, and cane sugar. I am sure I will end up posting another photo from this fantastic place.

Time to grill. No matter what time of year or the temp outside, sometimes you just gotta fire up that grill. In this case I made a lemon caper glaze and put that on the chicken just as it was finishing. I also got a nice set of criss-cross marks on the chicken too.

One of my favorite things to do is get together with good friends before too much time passes by. Went to Father's Office today with good friends and tried this brew from the folks in Canada that make La Fin Du Monde. This is a great belgian style amber ale.

Ah the wonders of driving in LA. Traffic, traffic, traffic, oh yeah and did I mention the traffic. At least the sky looked cool.

Another beautiful day in Southern California. What happened to winter? At least the clouds were out to check out the beach among other things.

Since I had school work to complete and it was such a nice evening in Monterey, I decided to do my work with a glass of Brunello next to this fire.
