Moderators Tom Denham Posted May 22, 2013 Moderators Share Posted May 22, 2013 Nice. I have been lusting after the Nikon D7000 on display at Costco, but keep telling myself I don't need it. Maybe I do! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crannaford Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 I love my D7000 Tom! It's brilliant. The time is right too, the D7000 is amazing value because the D7100 has just been released so there's been a massive price drop. The D7100 however has a big list of improvements and I don't know about you but I always struggle to buy last year's model. I've never had a food addiction but I do have a camera buying addiction, fortunately I'm medicated by my wife Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 In fact, my profile pic (sadly cropped) of me with my pet kangaroo Penny, was taken by my Father First..adorable photo. Very sweet. I actually was looking for the software name or whatever you use to do the cool collage with sticky note. Very fun that Tom will end up with a new camera.

crannaford Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Got it Susan, because I'm using a mac, I'm making my collages in Pages. If you're using a PC you could use Publisher. It's not a specific photo application. I just drag the photos onto a blank page and make some boxes for the text, put a border and a drop shadow around them. In Pages it is super easy..Pages is available for iPad too if you're an iPad user. I've just noticed that I probably won't be able to post pictures for the entire 30 days because there seems to be an upload limit..everyone will be sick to death of them by then anyway.

Susan W Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Got it..you are a photo genius. I think you may be able to delete early photo posts to make room for current. Or..do links to photobucket which are not as fun as your collages. Maybe Tom can say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Real Food Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi David - good to see someone else from Downunder. Are you in Adelaide? I'm going to be there next week and wonder if you can recommend any good Paleo-type places to eat in the CBD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crannaford Posted May 23, 2013 Author Share Posted May 23, 2013 Hi there RMP. I am in Adelaide but don't have a clue if there are any Paleo restaurants. Until a few weeks ago I'd never heard of a Paleo lifestyle so it's all pretty new to me. For the next 25 days or so, we'll be avoiding restaurants altogether If I hear of anything I'll let you know. We eat out a fair bit and we'll be looking at our menus in quite a different way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoodles Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Ok now I'm seeing why Adelaide has a reputation for being a "foodie" city! Your food looks fantastic, and the pics work so much better than a written log! Any chance you could share your salmon and zucchini fritters recipe? I make lamb and zucchini fritters a lot but haven't succeeded in getting the salmon ones to hold together :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I started it my wife and 17year old son jumped on board too. My son fell of the wagon last night, the pizza dinner and pancake breakfast at a sleep over broke him hahaaa! Nevermind, he's still eating better than ever and is loving the meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crannaford Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 We knew Day 9 would be an interesting challenge! My wife's Birthday We went to one of our favourite wineries to share a table full of wonderful food with 15 friends. We managed to say "no thank you" to all the wonderful wine, cheese, lentil soup and homemade bread. We sat down to our spinach frittata with lovely kale salad that included pear, apple, persimmon and homemade mayonnaise. Willpower for the win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
