About Me
- Meow
- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
- Born and raised on the sunny island of Singapore, she was an ordinary girl with an ordinary life - she was a band geek, classical music nut, and drank only on New Years. She rode the subway to malls on weekends, subsisted on spicy local fare, and enjoyed soaking up the tropical sun.
One day, she woke up and found herself on the other side of the world in Steel City - sorority chick, jazz fiend, and needing a bigger wine rack. She treks through sleet and snow for new adventures, carries her camera wherever she can, and is a menace behind the wheel. She lives in an apartment in the city with two cats named after condiments and a Yank who builds robots.
She still plays the piano and likes her sambal hot.
This is a collection of her stories and pictures.

hi~ i randomly stumbled upon your blog looking for "melitzanes imam". :) but, i noticed that you take some nice photos! do you mind sharing with me which camera and lens you use? i'm considering getting my first "real" lens for my canon rebel xti.
Thanks Linda! First of all, the melitzanes imam recipe on allrecipes.com is great - I really enjoyed it.
As for my photos, they are taken by a Canon Powershot and a Rebel. Yep, just plain ole' Rebel 300D, not even XT! It came 2nd-hand from a friend; the lens I use, believe it or not, is the 18-55mm kit lens (also 2nd hand, from a Fred Miranda buy/sell forum). On occasion, I take long-range photos with my el cheapo 75-300mm telephoto. I probably have the cheapest outfit of any DSLR photographer.
If I could spare the $, my perfect trio would be the 10-22mm, 24-70mm, and 70-200mm with IS. They say the 24-70mm is a great well-rounded piece of glass. I still consider myself an amateur and yet to have outgrown the kit lens; it's doing the job for me and I think it's underrated.
Good luck in your lens hunt!
hmm, i dunno where my previous comment went. it didn't seem to post.
thanks for the recs~ it's inspiring to know that you don't need all the fancy shmancy equipment to take great photos. goes to show that it's not the camera that makes the photo, but the photographer. i'm sure nice lenses and cameras certainly help, but it isn't what makes a photo great. :)
and yes! i did try the recipe. it was really good! i posted a photo of it on allrecipes. this one's a keeper. will have to make it again.
