easy does it

Lets ease back into this slowly now. I got a camera so I dont have to be so 'thought provoking' anymore.

Old camera

Big bold new camera (massive difference wouldnt you say?)

I replaced my Casio EX75 with an EX-S10. It has a few more features than my old camera and its microns thinner. What a joke the old one was pretty damn thin but this one is the spinal tap of thinness.




To inaugurate the the little unit we kick it off with a sandwich, and not just any old sandwich either, this is a special 'end of summer' sandwich. All this tomato talk going around I had to get in on it.



Toasted italian bread with two kinds of pesto, yup you read that right, two kinds. Both regular basil olive oil concoctions for the most part except one is made with parmesean cheese and the other is made with pumpkin seeds, one is vegan one is not.



I put a couple of thick slices of tomato and a some generous slices of bufala mozzarella a few extra basil leaves, that I warmed and wilted, some salt and fresh pepper et voila tout - you have lunch.

This is my Italian-American husband's favorite sandwich.

I'm all for trying new things, but concerning the camera, and most products in life, when you spend your hard-earned Franklins on something you like, why jump into unknown territory?

whoa. that looks superb! i have to say, both cameras look the same. i think you're trying to fool me.

tavolini said...

nice pics!! sandwich looks excellent--which pesto was more popular?

Christo Gonzales said...

RLL: a shell station? thats funny....

Urban vegan: thats my point, and thats why I am sticking with the casio brand-I switched from fuji a couple years ago.

beth: the king of my fifedom? LOL

Tanya: I am not trying casio is...its like detergent, one week they have 'new' and the next week its 'new and improved'

tavolini: both had their merits, while I like it with pepitos (pumpkin seeds) banana favored the other one since it was more 'green' (the pumpkin seeds added a more army green effect, thus fading the brightness of the basil) so all green aside it was a toss up.
