I'm guessing pine nuts is the English word for pine nuts.

Pine Nuts? Wtf is the english word for them.
Pine nuts in English. Pinoli in Italian which is perhaps what you've heard them called. |

They're huge buttermilk biscuits with jam and delicious snossages. I'm making biscuits and gravy today with the leftovers.

More food porn - I cooked dinner for the wife tonight - Baked Scallops, Three Cheese Garlic Scalloped Potatoes, and Bermuda Spinach Salad. For desert, we had cupcakes from the Baltimore Cupcake Company

Good external lighting and no flash are good places to start. Composition wise, the mantra is 'Tight is right'. Notice for instance the visual impact difference between those delicious sausage links and biscuits and my plate+ salad bowl shot. I broke my damn 18-55 mm lens, and while I love the bokeh on my 50mm prime, it's not really made for these tight in close shots. |

Very funny, Sky. I just use the macro and try to get the shot in daylight. Next to a window is fine, even if it's overcast outside. I have a Nikkon CoolPix digicam. |

Great camera. I assume you got the US kit with the ridiculously good 18-55mm lens?

Just be careful with it - especially when cleaning the rear lens. It pops out of position a bit too easily and can jam itself up right good. That's how I ended up leaving mine in pieces in the Grand Trianon. But otherwise, I love my D40 for the most part. It does have limitations, but the form factor and grip of it goes a damn long way. |

Actually that was just a bar crawl. I'll admit the quality of costumes was up there with a theatre production though.

I'm at University in what is only a city through an ancient technicality, we hit about 6 bars and then a club with no more than 5 minutes walking between each one. Which was lucky as it was too cold for them to be wearing that little for much longer (though the local women manage to go about wearing far less when it's literally 0oC so I guess that aspect's not too impressive).

Where I live in the Rocky Mts, the students often walk around campus in shorts, t-shirts, and sandals when the temp goes above freezing in April. On a side note, I'm so glad that I'm not in my 20's anymore. I can't imagine dating women in their early 20's. |

I'm fucking hating it. Paranoid, overly emotional and crazy. Though I've heard through the grapevine that this doesn't change, you just work 9-5 so it's less apparent. |

The temperature went above freezing here, so I was on my deck BBQing in shorts/T-shirt last night. Us Canadians are a hearty folk. |

Mid 20's are worse. At least in the early 20's, most people (men or women) at least somewhat realize that they're fools. And fools can be fun sometimes. Many 25-ish yr olds, otoh, and especially women, are cocky as hell. Lots and lots of games. That's mostly what I deal with right now.
30-35 is great. Cool, quiet, down to earth, right down to business. There's just not a lot of women out and about and single in that category, in my experience.

There are, you just want to stay away from them. If they've been looking, then they're single for a reason. That said, I could never stand women in their 20s, even 10 years ago. The only thing worse in my memory was women in their late teens. I'm glad I was able to separate my wife from her family and mold her to my personality in many ways.  |

I know that feeling, only possibly worse given an even smaller dating pool. |

Seriously, Lantyssa, move to Portland. You'd be getting pussy galore. Actually, Pussy Galore is a drag queen, but we have lesbians too.

We have tons. They're just either all college age or their mid-forties and older. What I don't get is where the ones close to my age are hiding. I literally know one person who is within two years of me (and she's in Taiwan for another six months for work).
Maybe they moved to Portland...
Meh. I'm not to the point of wanting a relationship more than my current job yet. Maybe five more years of fighting off nesting instincts will cure that.
