happy 2007!

While 2006 was a good, albeit a challenging year on all fronts, 2007 is looking good already. With a new job starting soon, I feel that treating myself to a new toy is a reasonable, festive thing to do. It's a shame that I haven't bought this lens already, being that it's the most basic and probably one of the most versatile lenses around. Slightly over $100, this is quite a bargain in the world of SLR photography. Of course, having this 50mm baby, makes me want the 60mm macro, but the costs on the macro lens are 4x of the 50mm one.

However, the strong desire to shoot food well at close angles might win over a need for winter boots. After all, clothing wears and tears, but the lenses will last me a lifetime. I suppose that my mother, upon reading the above, will rush to the phone to impress upon me the importance of dressing warmly for winter.

I apologize for lack of recipe. Or lack of cooking initiative, though I did make stellar guacamole for the soiree last night. It's been a holiday week and I, sequestered in the Hamptons, was a bit lazy on the kitchen front. Nonetheless, with a new year, and a soon-to-be-acquired new lens, I will be posting recipes accompanied by (hopefully) better pictures.

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you're taking the day today to recover and nap.
