Way to Go Kelly

Kelly (my sister) just got a new Mac for her use at school. Its an IMAC of giganitic prportions. A 24inch screen.. just like dad's.

My sis is a movie maker. She commented in her blog, Moving Right Along with Kelly that the new IMovie is not a intuitive as the old one... but they new one has more features. I think that they have changed the metaphor again. The last one was pretty cool. I think that many people thought that it was intuitive. But the reality was that it was intuitive only if you had made a movie from the previous one. Frame by frame editing or sound is never really too intuitive. Somewhere along you have to crack open a book or watch a Lynda.com video to make that happen. My cameras have been missing or out of action since the move to the apartment. They are not readily available since we have moved back.. But there are other things that one can do. Such as put up drapes or unpack containers and figure out where everything goes. Then remember where you put it. I am finally get a beat on the new kitchen.

Last night I made homemade pizzia with the help of a new 11cup Cuisinart stainless steel pro. They have really upgraded the materials and the food chute on the new ones over my 12year + old one. It minced up the onion, it tore in the parma cheese, and it shredded the mozzarella cheeze with ease. The kitchen Aide Imperial red kneeded the crust to handling consistency. With fresh mushrooms and black olives slipped into the convection oven.. we had a couple of pretty good pizzas.

Its really great to have room to spread out.. although Linzi says I will get tired walking from one end of the kitchen to the other.. its the kind of tired that I want. Tonight Sue has offered to go out for dinner.. I wonder how that is going to work.

Take care all

Pat

  1. It's funny to think of our cuisenarts as being "old". I got mine when I lived in Palo Alto... at least twenty years ago. ::::laugh::: time marches on!
