Last night’s dinner consisted of a another delicious Sammich. Not the one pictured above, that one is from the archives. I didn’t have my camera with me last night. The one above was a special (Miguelito) and hence not on the regular menu board (pictured below).

Sammich – Ashland, Oregon
Chicago Italian Beef Sandwich

I have become a bit addicted to Sammich since they opened their doors earlier this year. I think I have tried everything on the menu at least once now, and the Chicago Italian Beef may be my favorite (although nothing has disappointed). I love the potato salad too.

If you haven’t experienced Sammich yet, you can find it near the corner of Bridge Street and Siskyou Boulevard, across from SOU, behind Mihama.

Pizza in San Francisco off of Lombard Street

If you are ever in the Cow Hollow area of San Francisco and want some good, Chicago-style pizza, check out Patxi’s. I have yet to find really good pizza in Korea. My last one was so bad (the cheese and some other ingredients weren’t even real) that I will not be trying to find good pizza in in South Korea again.

Mini cupcakes decorated with the letter P

To keep things interesting when I do a photo shoot after Jolene bakes something up, I try to use a different lens each time. I think I have used seven different lenses on her sweets now. For the above photo I used my 50mm f/1.2 manual lens. I have only used this lens a couple times since purchasing it over craigslist for a ridiculously low price. I don’t know why I don’t use it more often as it takes fantastic photos with creamy backgrounds at f/1.2. The manual focus is actually a fun change of pace too.

I enjoyed a birthday cake (for someone else’s birthday) from Jolene’s Sweets this past weekend. I also had one of her scones, and I’m quite certain it was the best scone I have ever had.

Today’s photo is of a box of cookies from last month.

Jolene’s Sweets

There was a party for the volunteers who helped with the 2013 Ashland Independent Film Festival last night at Scienceworks. Jolene provided the sweets.
