Updates on Hayashi Photography

This is my little sister, Danielle. She is having a baby!! They have found out that this baby girl will be joining the family the 24th of January. Our entire family is way excited for this new addition. I love you! Thanks for the pictures!! FYI: No matter how old or how many kids Danielle will have; she will always be my baby sister.

Ok... Story, kinda. Kristofer is really into culinary arts. He loves to cook, when he has the time (which isn't very often), and he is a great cook!! So while he was taking his classes, he always said. "I want to get a scale." I would ask him why and he never gave me a straight answer. So I kept telling him ok get one. If any of you know Kristofer he cannot just "get" something. He has to research, read reviews, and has to find a deal. So, we never got one (while he was taking his classes). Several months later after research, reviews read, and a deal offered he bought one (by offer I mean free). When it came my thought was when are we ever going to use this? Well, we have had it a week and I have used it, today! Second part of the story. When we buy beef it is always in a large quantity and I never know how to break it up. Most recipes I use call for 1 lb of beef. So, I reach in the freezer and use whatever bag has beef in it (not knowing how much it really is). Today, bought beef and separated it all into 1 lb bags!! :) I know you all thing I am crazy and are probably thinking it is not that big of a deal. Well, I get joy in the simple things in life. I can know properly seperate my meat and use correct amounts for my cooking. :) Life is great!

If you can't tell it is a Kitchen Aid (series 600) and a tripod for my camera... he also go me a wireless remote for my camera (not pictured). Before any of you think we blow our money, we don't. Kristofer received the Kitchen Aid from his works loyalty pays (400 points) he get 50 points for every month he work there and doesn't miss or get warnings. :) I am so lucky to be so loved... now how do you use a Kitchen Aid? and how do I find the time to use it? ;)
