With 2009 finally at a close, we want to wish everyone a Happy New Year. There were plenty of good memories to look back upon in 2009, so we’re already looking forward to what 2010 has in store. Cheers to good cooking, eating, and drinking to you all!

Just a sneak peak at what was going on in our kitchen last night. Plenty of food and cooking to bring in the New Year.

Looking Forward to July

Lando — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 04:50:24 +0000

It’s been two months since the launch of SpotsForDates.com and we’re excited to see what lies in July. We’ve been trying to make a name for ourselves in the food blog world. We feel that we are growing steadily. With the help of Foodbuzz, we can reach out to foodies like you.

So what’s new in July? For one, better photos. We finally decided to retire our older Sony Cyber-shot DSC-S700s. We picked up these last Black Friday for $100 a piece. I thought it was the deal of the decade. The camera did everything that I wanted to do. Little did I know that the equipment you use plays a big role in what you do. For food shots it performs ok, but not spectacular. Also, reading an user average rating for the Sony of 6/10 really made me want to make a change. So, we hooked ourselves up with two Canon cameras – The A590IS and the SD750. The picture of the egg pie was taken with the A590IS. These cameras are a definite upgrade and are way better than the Sony. We can’t wait to show you the food shots we’ve taken.

You can also count on seeing the regular updates of discoveries we find in the Bay Area that we claim to be a spot for dates. Whether it’s a local hole in the wall to more well known establishments, we’re going to bring it to you. And hey, summer is here and we’re planning to travel. We’ll post up spots that we might find along the way too.

Finally, thanks to all the readers that have been checking us out. We greatly appreciate it. Come spread the word to your friends and family about us. Cheers to a great summer!

Happy 21st Birthday Rose!

It’s late and we’re still preparing for ~~tomorrow’s~~ dinner later tonight. Be on the lookout for the pictures. We’ve gone ahead and planned a few Filipino dishes that we are cooking up that are going to leave your mouth watering. From Filipino Styled Spaghetti to Filipino Stuffed Chicken, it’s time to eat good and celebrate.

UPDATE! Here are some pictures of the food at the party. We enjoyed a delicious cake from Red Ribbon and other great food. We had Lumpia, Spaghetti, Buko Salad, Menudo, Fresh Lumpia, and the infamous Chicken Rellono that Rose cooked.

Tomatoes Linked to Salmonella Scare

Lando — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 03:51:39 +0000

I don’t know if you’ve heard, but various restaurants have been pulling back on tomatoes because of traces of salmonella causing food poisoning. Most prominent places that have taken action are fast food spots like McDonald’s. Our local Taco Bell has placed warning signs outside its doors, informing customers. Many other restaurants have taken action and stopped serving tomatoes. Illnesses have been traced to at least 16 states. Not all types of tomatoes have been linked to salmonella. Until the FDA traces the source of the problem, it might be a good idea to be aware of this food issue. Pass the word on.
