That's why I have to wait to post entry until he finishes his work. Good thing PP starts on Wednesday! Since few people asking what is this..This is a tea plantation.  I don't really remember exactly the name of the place. I went there on 2004 with my photo hunt team.     http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/journal/item/31/Picture_Perfect_-_Curves_- Wed, 4 Jun 2008 15:50:20 -0000 Picture Perfect - Roadside - Roadside Flower..probably that's the perfect title for this picture. I have lots of roadside pictures in my PC, but somehow, I couldn't decide which one to post in Picture Perfect. So, this morning, I took a walk with my daughter and got this idea, to capture this flower with the roadside on the background. As usual, I used my Olympus SP550UZ, edited with Picasa. Touched up only for contrast, auto color and sharpened. <a href="http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SD@iPwoKCtcAACbSsVw1"><img class="alignmiddleb" src="http://images.myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SD@iPwoKCtcAACbSsVw1/roadsideflower.jpg?et=XevVuiTM12wldQjBTaM0Bg&nmid=0" border="0"></a> http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/journal/item/30/Picture_Perfect_-_Roadside_- Fri, 30 May 2008 06:45:57 -0000 Picture Perfect -Broken- When I took a walk the other day with my daughter around our neighborhood, I found a broken little birdhouse in front of our building.

This picture was taken on a street art festival. I chose this picture because I love her art work (she's a street painter). It was beautiful, but I don't know if she won the festival or not. I took the picture with Samsung Digimax. So, I converted the picture into black and white version, and this is the result : <A href="http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SAry8goKCtcAAAm0Kzw1"><IMG class=alignmiddleb src="http://images.myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SAry8goKCtcAAAm0Kzw1/artist.jpg?et=BzNSvRu%2CfVh7IC%2Bs%2CggazA&nmid=" border=0></A> I was inspired by Gary's entry to use the focal black and white tools in Picasa2, and I think this one was a perfect picture to be converted. These are the steps : <OL> <LI>Go to "effect" tools and choose sharpen. <LI>Then converted to black and white. <LI>Choose Focal B&W because I want the painting on this picture still has color. <LI>Adjust the color and sharpness of the focal black and white <LI>Then to softened the picture, I used soft focus tools. <LI>click apply and save.</LI></OL> Join the fun, <A href="http://jgaryhillstudio.multiply.com/journal/item/97/Monochromatic_Monday_Entry3?replies_read=21">HERE!</A>   <A href="http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/SAryHwoKCtcAAHFHpM41"></A>  http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/journal/item/26/Monochromatic_Monday_Entry_3 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 07:46:41 -0000 Chocolate Bread Pudding I had 7-8 slices of breads that already expired.

In a blender, combine all of the ingredients and pulse for 10 seconds. Place the crepe batter in the refrigerator for 1 hour. This allows the bubbles to subside so the crepes will be less likely to tear during cooking. The batter will keep for up to 48 hours. Heat a small non-stick pan. Add butter to coat. Pour 1 ounce of batter into the center of the pan and swirl to spread evenly. Cook for 30 seconds and flip. Cook for another 10 seconds and remove to the cutting board. Lay them out flat so they can cool. Continue until all batter is gone. After they have cooled you can stack them and store in sealable plastic bags in the refrigerator for several days or in the freezer for up to two months. When using frozen crepes, thaw on a rack before gently peeling apart. http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/journal/item/19/Strawberry_Chocolate_Crepes Tue, 11 Mar 2008 23:45:11 -0000 Jambalaya <A href="http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/photos/hi-res/upload/R9cW0QoKCtcAAEy0zEo1"><IMG class=alignleft src="http://images.myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/R9cW0QoKCtcAAEy0zEo1/P3050054.JPG?et=%2CHy7VMoo%2CmRCiNh0M8y8SA&nmid=" border=0></A>Recipe courtesy Paula Deen Jambalaya Mix, recipe follows 2 1/2 cups water 1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes 1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce 1/2 pound fully cooked smoked sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices 1/2 to 3/4 pound medium, fresh <A class=cimotif style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; CURSOR: pointer; COLOR: green; BORDER-BOTTOM: green 2px dotted; TEXT-DECORATION: none">shrimp</A>, peeled and deveined In a Dutch oven, combine mix, water, tomatoes, tomato sauce and smoked sausage.

I had never been to the library in my area before, and since there's a baby story telling time, so I brought my baby 3 months ago to that event and we've been a member of that events since then. And also the one that make me keep coming back is they have lots of new books and most best seller books. That's why I love to go to that place lately. This week, I borrowed 2 books; one is Kinsella's and the other one is Cabot's book. Finally I can start to read again since 2 years ago I stopped doing it since I was busy taking care of this lil one.   http://myleftoverturkey.multiply.com/journal/item/7/Books..and_books..and_books..

The pic was taken in SeaWorld, San Diego. It's Shamu or The famous Killer Whale or some people say Orca. The show was great! I haven't seen such a big fish can jump and do some attractions. I love the splash of the water... Orca is the largest species of the oceanic dolphin family. Wild Orcas are usually not considered a threat to humans. Orcas are highly social; some populations are composed of matrilineal family groups which are the most stable of any animal species.
