    cool new veggie

    Last night for dinner I was served romanesque broccoli. I thought it looked just like coral. Although I am not sure what kind of coral! I thought it would be a fun veggie to share with other people that might appreciate it. It is a mix between broccoli and cauliflower. It has a mild taste but...

    film vs. digital

    I've only taken a camera underwater once, but loved being able to see my pictures and relive the dive again on land. I used a rented Sea and Sea with film and thought the quality was great considering I had nothing else to compare it to. I read a lot about digital cameras on this site and...
