In my efforts to keep up with my goals this year, here is a little something I ate yesterday. ( shot in complete artificial light. my apologies.)
I am a lover of tomatoes. There is nothing better than a fresh tomato sandwich, tomatoes with homemade blue cheese dressing, or even a whole tomato with just a little salt. ( eaten like an apple) . They are so simple and so good.
Yesterday though, I took some cherry tomatoes, threw in some feta, added balsamic vinegar, a little sugar and some s&p and had myself a great quick fix.
It needs to be summer. Tomatoes are everywhere in the summer.

My sister was recently engaged ( see some of her engagement photos here) and the whole family (especially my mother) is in hardcore wedding mode. ( its crazy) I have been back and forth to the mountains this month to help and have been able to go to many venues, churches and spaces. Each spaces has been very different, from the light to the decor. Here are some images, inside and out, of a few of the locations. Ill share more tomorrow.
Weather has been crazy lately. I could go for a little less rain and a nice cup of joe this morning. Hope your Monday is off to a good start.
please excuse the mess, I am trying out new headers.
I made a goal with myself this year to try and eat better. I love to cook, but we all know cooking takes time and thats something I do not always have. So I am going to try and plan what I eat ahead of time. In efforts to work on my photography ( also a goal this year) I’ll try and take some snap shots before I eat it. We all know healthy food looks better through the camera then junk food, so hopefully these two goals will work hand in hand.
Lunch today was a curry turkey burger with a cucumber yogurt sauce ( which I am currently addicted to–especially with little breadsticks as a snack–top photo) Side of artichoke and tomato pasta salad.
It was good.
Have a great weekend.

A few weeks back while driving around, we came upon this great old abandoned barn. It was right around sunset and the light was fantastic. Very gold. Here are a few snaps. I especially like the top two together.
It went back to cold and rainy today. Heres to some nicer weather this weekend.
Have a good one

Hello, hello…
Didnt really escape the winter weather, it snowed everyday. Maybe ‘A Winter Break’ isn’t a very appropriate title. But it was a great trip with great friends. We locked ourselves in a rustic mountain cabin, never really getting out of our slippers, all while eating and playing games. (including a 5 hour game of Risk) We had good drinks, great fires, and an awesome view. A nice way to wrap up the holidays.
It has been so, so cold lately. It feels like I am living in a completely different place. A tundra. Waking up, it just looks colder. The rooms are still. A grey cold light comes through every window. I am feeling very ready for a warm screened-in porch, eating outside, and driving with all the windows down. Is it April yet?
Going out of town tomorrow for a greatly anticipated annual winter retreat with friends. Looking forward to laughs, drinks, good food and games. See you all later this week.
Thank you for your comments lately. They keep me posting.

There is something about baking that is so rewarding. I am thinking its the waiting game. The fact that you can see through the oven window, watching it rise, smelling it.
I think 2010 will be a pretty big waiting game as well. There is a lot I want to accomplish. Especially when it comes to my photography. It will all take time, and finding time to do all of them will be a challenge, but i’m up for it. The waiting game will all pay off in the end, I guess.
It was really awesome to get some snow while in the city. Here is a quick shot of what it looked like from the window. The snow was heavy, but at the same time very fine. The small flakes made it seem more like a fog.
Meanwhile back home in the mountains, the snow looks quite different. We got a foot of snow. Its pretty awesome.
Hoping to finish up my christmas shopping and make some good food. More New York pictures to come…
Got an early Christmas gift from a friend. Something I have been wanting for a while, but have never bought. I am always looking for an alternative to the standard pot of coffee and this is just that. Much stronger and better flavor.
I have been really really busy with holiday errands and finishing up work.
Ill maybe be back here this weekend or maybe monday to share some photos of a trip.
Happy Holidays.
