Looking Out The Window

I flew to Edmonton  last week with a friend using Westjet. When comparing Westjet to Air Canada, the national carrier cannot even begin to compete with Westjet in terms of service and staff friendliness. So if you are in Canada choose to fly with Westjet.

On my way back to Vancouver from Edmonton, shortly after takeoff, I look out my window and couldn't help but took a picture of what I saw. I really like the way the picture turned out with the background and especially the cloud reflecting on the wing of the aircraft.

I shot this with my Canon G11 using the following settings.
Aperture: f/3.5.
Exposure Time: 1/500 sec.
ISO: 100.
Exposure Bais: -0.3.
Focal Length: 14mm.

Let me know what you think I can do to improve the shot should I have a chance to capture this set again.

Super Comfy Shoes

Recently on my trip to the states I bought myself a pair of Black Crocs™ Santa Cruz. They are by far the most comfortable shoes I have ever slip my feet into. And they are made in Mexico too. None of the made in China stuff here.

Fried chicken that taste better than KCF.

For those of you who have seen the pictures of my fried chicken and loved what you saw. Here is the recipe for you to try the fried chicken at home yourself. Then you can judge for yourself if its better than KCF. If its not, well at least its more healthy.

The ingredients that you will need for this dish will be:

4 pieces of chicken. (Drumstick, Thigh, Wings or Breast)
1 table spoon Herbes de Provence. (Or any herb / spice mix you can find)
2 tea spoon garlic powder.
1.1/2 tablespoon of paprika powder.
1.1/2 tea spoon black pepper.
Salt to taste.
And corn flour or corn starch, (they are the same thing with different names) to coat the chicken.

Steps for preparing the chicken is as easy as eating it. Just mix herbs, paprika, garlic powder, pepper and salt onto the chicken and make sure all parts of the chicken is covered by the marinade. Then leave it in the fridge to marinade for at least 4 hours. I left mind for about 6 hours.

Reason I coat the chicken with the flour and not add water to the flour to make a batter is because liquid batter will be too thick, and when you eat the chicken you will taste more of the batter than the chicken. Then you deep fry it by batch and dump everything into the fryer reason being the chicken tend to stick to each other if you mass fry them. Fry till golden brown and remember to turn them occasionally.

Your finished product should at least look like this to call it a success. Enjoy!!
