Not your average burger

Browsing through my phone, I just almost forgot how I took a picture of this burger. After having dinner at the Studio Cafe in MGM Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas we decided to get some dessert. And here’s what we got:

 

It’s called “The Burger”. It has a chocolate mousse patty topped with mint leaves and fresh strawberries. The bun was vanilla cake topped with sesame seeds. The Burger came with a side of pound cake fries and strawberry puree to dip them in. Although it did taste good, it’s not necessarily the greatest tasting dessert that knocked my socks off wanting more. I do however, give it points for being very interesting and creative. Ultimately, that’s the reason I decided to share this with everyone; I loved it’s creativity.

TGIF the 13th!

Happy Friday the 13th! To some, who cares… but to all my superstitious folks out there, be safe.

Finally went and got CS4

Finally got my full copy of Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Premium. Design Premium combines Adobe InDesign® CS4, Photoshop® CS4 Extended, Illustrator® CS4, Flash® CS4 Professional, Dreamweaver® CS4, Fireworks® CS4, and Acrobat® 9 Pro with additional tools and services. Can’t wait to install it. My computer has more than enough to run it all, but I think that I’ll build up a new machine just for this. I feel like it’s an early Christmas gift!

Fixed the dryer.

Now, for those who come around the shop you’ve probably seen the conveyor belt dryer control panel opened up for a while. What I hate is that our dryer doesn’t have its brand or manufacturer anywhere on it. So when heat element sections of the dryer started cutting off, troubleshooting wasn’t really easy. I boiled it down to the relay. Researching the part number and finding its replacement part since it was discontinued was hard but I found it and $65 later:

They’re all on again!! It’s so much better and now I can speed the belt back up and production speed is back to normal.

And now, just like Toyota:


We’re “moving forward”
