My Everyday Life: Week 5

Here’s what this week looked like:

Still testing out the Fujifilm X100S (rented from Borrow Lenses)

Taken with my iPhone:

My Everyday Life: Week 5

Taken with the Fuji.  I’m really enjoying the quality and it’s been easy to pop into my purse.

I’ve been looking at this camera because I want to play around more with fixed lenses.

My Everyday Life: Week 5

I always think of the joke by Mitch Hedberg Double Tree joke when I see two trees together.

My Everyday Life: Week 5

Winter shadows.

My Everyday Life: Week 5

Those sliders I made were bomb dot com.

Smoked Salmon Ramen

Smoked Salmon Ramen- a quick way to fancy up packaged ramen!  Check out more at Shutterbean.com

I find the most food inspiration when someone else cooks for me. That’s why I love going to my friend Leslie’s house.  She’s beyond confident in the kitchen and she always comes up with such amazing combinations out of the most modest ingredients. It feels like a real treat; she makes me always feel welcome.  She also introduced me to the hot smoked sockeye salmon from Trader Joe’s and I’m forever grateful.

She made me smoked salmon ramen back in December and I was instantly hooked. It takes a tiny bit of finesse to get the egg just right but on my second attempt, it was absolute perfection.

Smoked Salmon Ramen // shutterbean

Just a few additions can really enhance a package of ramen. Spinach, smoked salmon, a little bit of sea kelp seasoning (or furikake if you have it) and a runny egg makes for a wonderfully quick meal– perfect for Mondays! You’re just three minutes away from deliciousness.  Promise me you’ll add sriracha?
