Thoughts on Photography and other things like waterfalls and Jack and stuff
We went to Sacramento this weekend. It was lovely. By lovely, I mean it rained the entire time and I froze. But, the trees were in bloom and I felt a lot of love for the ol' husband o' mine.
And I thought about things.
Here are the things I thought about:
1. I love God.
2. I love the temple.
3. I love Jack.
4. I love that Jack is mine forever.
5. I do not love shooting photography at a wedding reception (it was awful... like beyond awful).
6. I think the 20+ waterfalls we saw on the drive home made up for the awfulness of the said reception.
7. I am not a reception kind of gal.
8. I will never ever shoot a camera near a "professional" photographer... especially one that makes LOUD snide remarks to her friends.
9. I considered giving up photography all together this weekend
10. I think Jack is great because he talked me out of giving up on photography all together.
11. I will never be a professional photographer because I cannot handle any sort of pressure.
12. I think I am a crazy person. No joke.
13. Jack likes my crazy. Most of the time. Which is good.
14. The waterfalls on the drive home were not impressive because they were big, but because they were LONG... like, see them stretch from the top of the mountain down into the canyon long. They were amazing.
15. Weddings are cool.
16. Receptions are not.
17. Hotels CAN be cool.
18. Ours was not. (Literally, I woke up in the middle of the night sweating because it was so hot in our room... but that was when we stayed in the rinky dink hotel we weren't planning on staying in. It just sort of happened.)
19. Ikea is overwhelmingly awesome.
20. I thought photography would harness my crazy, but instead it adds fuel to the crazy fire.
20 thoughts. That's all I had.
It was a good weekend.
The end.
Note: this is NOT one of the waterfalls we saw. This is Niagara Falls. But I put it on here anyway. So there.

Looks like we have some SPAM fans out there...
Who knew?!
Please leave your favorite recipe involving SPAM in the comments section.
Here's mine:
SPAM MUSUBI
1 can SPAM
3 sheets of seaweed
1-1.5 cups rice
2 Tbs sugar
2-3 Tbs soy sauce
water
Cook rice according to instructions on package. Cut spam into six slices and fry until golden on both sides (KEEP SPAM PACKAGING!). While spam is cooking, mix together the sugar and soy sauce. When spam is almost done, pour soy sauce mixture over the slices. Flip spam over so both sides get coated with soy sauce mixture. Cut seaweed sheets in half.
Once rice is done you're ready to put everything together! Fill up the spam container 1/3-1/2 of the way with rice. Pack rice down and take out of spam container. Repeat until you have 6 rice patties. Place rice patty on center of seaweed strip. Put a slice of spam top of rice. Fold the seaweed around rice and spam and seal the ends of the seaweed together with a little bit of water. (I just dip my fingers in a cup of water and run them along the edge of the seaweed.)
EAT!
We love to dip ours in this crazy hot Chinese chile sauce.
This is seriously one of our favorite meals. It is soo much more flavorful than L&L's. :)
Let me know if you try it and what you thought!
