128/365 Snack
“Nacho Average Snack” In Texas, nachos are always a great snack.
127/365 Candy
“Nibbles of Shortbread” Obviously I failed to post this last night. By some mis-alignment of the planets, we had no candy to speak of for me to use in this prompt. The cacao nibs were the closest thing I could find. Brooke used them to make shortbread, and several other amazing sweet things, for me to take to school for a student recital. Her shortbread with these little nibs of chocolate are my new favorite cookie! “Shortbread” Yum!
114/365 Mobile
“Table Manners” I don’t usually have my camera with me at the dinner table. I also don’t usually look across the table at dinner to see a set of feline ears staring at me from the chair across from me. I did have my phone in my pocket and was able to snap this picture. I’m terrible at phone photography and I haven’t spent much time playing with all the photography apps that are available. I already don’t have enough…
111/365 Blooming
“First Fruits” Erin brought us a strawberry plant. It is full of berries already! Though this shot is kind of busy, I like it because it shows the berries at several different stages of development. I also like these two very different perspectives on strawberries. “Ripening” “From the Berry Back”
106/365 Pie or Pile
Pie of Berries and Pile of Berries” At the beginning of each month Katrina Kennedy of Capture Your 365 publishes the list of prompts for each day of the month. Then, each day she sends an inspirational email with photo tips of tidbits of inspiration. I had been looking forward to the “pie” prompt all month since we have our family baker at home with us. When Katrina’s email came this morning, she said that she had actually intended for…
105/365 Sprouts
“Dinner Sprouts” I wish the sprouts that I had photographed today were sprouting plants in my garden. Sadly, I have planted nothing. I was feeling OK about that last week when we had temperatures in the upper 30’s. Today the high temperature was 90. This is good garden weather. I guess I will break down and buy some plants rather than starting from seeds. I’m not sure when that is going to happen. Since I had no sprouting plants, I…
102/365 A Touch of Yellow
“Herbs” I think today’s prompt was intended to be a nod to spring with a touch of yellow coming from spring flowers. None of our outdoor flowers are yellow and I used my indoor cut flowers for yesterday’s prompt so I was kind of stuck today. So here are some fresh herbs waiting to be minced and placed in the prep bowls. Bonus Yellow Picture! “A Pucker and a Smile” Knowing that today’s prompt was a touch of yellow, Weber…
98/365 Pastel
“Los Pasteles” Accomplishing today’s prompt was a family affair. I was whining about not having anything pastel to photograph. I am definitely a bright colors kind of girl. Weber, the sometimes Spanish teacher said, “Pastel means cake in Spanish.” Brooke, the pastry chef said, “I can make cake.” Me, the photographer said, “I can take pictures of cake.” So here you have it – los pasteles with pastel strawberry, blueberry and matcha icing.
94/365 Brand New
“Kimchi After Class” I had a brand new culinary experience this evening, Korean food. Several of my students, Weber, Brooke and I enjoyed an amazing dinner tonight thanks to one of my students whose family owns a local Korean restaurant.
Personalized Pot Pies
For some reason, this week has turned out to be the week from hell. There just doesn’t seem to be enough time or energy to get everything done that needs to be done. It is REALLY nice to have Brooke here to cook for us. If she had not been here today I suspect that dinner would have consisted of leftover Easter candy. But, since she was here, we had a very good dinner. Brooke decided that she was going…
