Iron Chef Competition
My team at work had an all-day offsite meeting yesterday, and afterward we went to the Blue Ribbon Cooking Center on Lake Union and cooked dinner as an Iron Chef competition. To maximize my team’s chances of winning, I just took pictures the whole time and let my teammates do all the work. We came in second; the salmon won.
I’ve uploaded 45 photos — click the thumbnails below or start here. The first few shots are grainy, and also a couple of the later ones, because I accidentally had my D40 set to ISO 3200 for a while. (Insert ISO one-liner here.)

Isn’t ISO 3200 the one about food health and safety regulations

Ah, that shot may require a caption. It’s the wine taster spitting out yet another mouthful.
He had a two buckets for this purpose, although I must admit I swallowed. Perhaps that explains the clumsiness with the camera settings.

Mom, that’s the right address, and it’s your usual password. I was logged in to your account here, after testing it before you left, so maybe that’s the problem — I logged out, so try it again and let me know how it goes.
And have fun in Turkey!

Hi, guys! I *thought* it might be Turkey! Lavonne, I think the computer you’re on is using a different character set — from here, if you look at the letter “i” in gmail.com, it has no dot. This is a character in modern Turkish, and not a regular “i.” I forget what it is, but when I was trying to learn a little Turkish for the trip we never took there were a few characters like that (along with the “s” with a tail, and so on). My gmail account lets me log in without the “@gmail.com” portion of my address, so you might want to try that. But if your password has any of these characters that change, you’ll still run into the same trouble. Maybe Doug can change your password to something without any of the offending characters?
Have a blast in Turkey — it was our (Lizzie and my) dream trip to go to Istanbul, and then we decided to get responsible and cut up our credit cards instead. Someday. Have a hookah for all of us!

Hey Tom, thanks for pointing that out. I hadn’t noticed that character.
I think her password is probably OK, so leaving off the “@gmail.com” should do the trick.
