Wheat Thins...

...are what I'm eating. On the back of the Wheat Thins box is a big picture of Rachael Ray, along with her recipe for "Refried Red Beans with Tomato and Poblano" which is as follows:
1 poblano chile pepper
2 15 ounce cans kidney beans, drained
3 tablespoons butter
1 small yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 8 ounce can tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
WHEAT THINS REDUCED FAT BAKED SNACK CRACKERS
Now the first thing that struck me about this advertisement is the forced-to-the-point-of-painfulness smile that Ray Ray is wearing in the photo, almost as if she is winking at you saying, "this really isn't my recipe, don't try it it's gross". So until I had eaten almost half the box of wheat thins I didn't even look at the recipe. Then I was confused, because the first three items on the list are marked 1 (poblano pepper) 2 (cans kidney beans) 3 (tablespoons butter), leading me to expect the next item to be 4 (of whatever), so when it returned to 1 (onion), it took me a while to realize that the numbers were not there to denote each ingredient's place on the list. Stupid Chris. Anyway this recipe looks good, but I think it might work out better using tortilla chips instead of wheat thins.
In other news, I still have camera lust, and am unable to decide between the Nikon D200 and the Leica D-Lux 3. I brought my old nikon lenses that I had bought in Korea into the camera store yesterday, and after I clocked out I put them on the D200 and played with it for a while; it's so nice and sturdy, and I could do all kinds of cool stuff with it, and the technology is to the point where the image quality really exceeds 35mm. The Leica would be easier to carry around all the time, and would be awesome for travelling, but I could never do cool wide-angle landscapes with it, or play with shallow depth of field, or do timed exposures or anything like that. It's just not as versatile. If anybody cares, look at those two camera websites and tell me which one to buy.
Hopefully this weekend I will get all my photos from China up, and I'm going to try to write a little caption for each one.
Today I went rock climbing with my old school shoes, it was fun but much more difficult since we were trying to do specific routes instead of just going up the wall whatever-which-way.
