I love to eat, as you can probably tell. I have a confession though: much of the recipes that make it to my blog are special-occasion kind of food. Weekend food. Food I make simply to delight my friends. (They deserve it, I have absolutely wonderful friends.) It’s food I want to learn how to make, experiment with, make look really pretty.

But it’s not what I spend most of my time eating. If this isn’t immediately obvious, I apologize. That’s sort of the problem with blogs: they only showcase the glossy, lovely aspects of our lives. Not the mundane, quiet parts. Most of the food I love is simple, unfussy, messy, not really fit for photographing (though I do anyway). Shall I give you a little peek?

Project 365: Week 6

I’ll admit it: this project is pretty tough. I’m amazed at the number of days I seemingly do nothing interesting. Finding the time and the inspiration to take photos is a lot harder than I imagined it would be. But, I still love the project. Seeing just the Flickr set alone makes me happy + makes me remember it’s worth it. I’m having to look into backing up photos though because I have so many to store on my computer now!

I think the best part begins now: I’ve photographed almost everything in my apartment, so I have to really get creative: make things to take pictures of, spend time with friends, use different angles or perspectives. P365 is really forcing me to get intimate with my camera, and that’s the whole point!

One Hour Bread

As you may or may not remember, one of my New Year’s goals is to learn how to use yeast, and make 4 “bread-like” things from scratch. This is #2 (see #1 here!). And guess what? I am rapidly becoming a domestic goddess, making productive use of my spare time, and tricking people into being friends with me via temptation of freshly-baked goods. It’s a win-win-win scenario. Everyone is happy.

Happy Valentine’s Day!

A few days ago, I wrote an article outlining my views on the day of love, February 14th. Mainly, in my opinion, Valentine’s Day should be a day to celebrate love in all its forms: between family, friends, partners, pets… No sense being cynical. Nobody ever said that love can only be between a couple – you’re not alone on Valentine’s, no matter what! You have friends, parents, siblings that love you more than you could ever know. And I love you too! Thanks for always reading along with my blog, I feel so lucky to have so many great people in my life.

You can read the article (and get the recipe for these yummy treats) here.
