As Pictured Below: Beignets and coffee
Posted in As Pictured Below, Eats, Photographs, Travel, tagged beignets, Cafe Du Monde, mother, New Orleans, travel, vacation on August 9, 2011| 2 Comments »
A drive to New Orleans isn’t complete without a plate of beignets. And a week at Mom’s house isn’t complete without a drive to New Orleans.
Before.
After.
As Pictured Below: Felicidad verde

My little green bowls make me smile. Fill them with salsa verde from Trader Joe’s and I’m positively ecstatic.
As Pictured Below: Pump up the jam

The first CSA delivery of the season contained a ridiculously large basket of strawberries, so I needed a quick way to use a lot of them.
I remember jam-making and jelly-making as a hot, time-consuming process, but I also remember my grandmother switching to the easier “freezer jam” method at some point, so I don’t feel like that much of a cheater for using it.
I’ll find out whether it worked in approximately 17 hours.

As Pictured Below: Yang packs for a short trip
Posted in As Pictured Below, Cats, Photographs, tagged cats, postaday2011, veterinarian, Yang on May 23, 2011| 5 Comments »
Yang heads to the vet tomorrow to have a small growth removed from the back of his neck. He’ll be 15 years old in about two weeks, so I would like to just leave it alone, but he keeps scratching it open. Eventually, it’s going to get infected.
He’s a terrible rider, so the worst part about the whole day is likely to be the drive to the vet’s office, not counting the hour or so we’ll be in the house with him in the morning without being able to feed him. He’s quite crotchety, you know, even when he’s not hungry.
As Pictured Below: Robin or Tom?

Ah, the eternal question: Robin or Tom?
Robin Zander is still working the rock-star look, especially with a light layer of chin stubble (which I can make note of only because the husband got us awesome front-row tickets earlier this month), but Tom Petersson is rocking some eclectic bass player style, complete with a black velvet ensemble and thick black glasses.
How could a girl ever choose? Looks like I’ll have to go see them again.
As Pictured Below: I’m on a cow
Posted in As Pictured Below, Family, tagged As Pictured Below, childhood, cows, farm, grandfather, postaday2011, Scancafe on April 12, 2011| 5 Comments »
Just another day riding around on barnyard animals (avec supervision — if you look closely, you can see my grandfather’s boots below the cow’s belly as he hides from the camera).
Best childhood ever? You tell me.
As Pictured Below: Who doesn’t need these?

If I insisted on keeping tons of ridiculous pillows tossed all over the couch and chairs, these would be those ridiculous pillows. Luckily Star Provisions is a four-hour drive away, so it’s too late to change my mind and go pick them up.
As Pictured Below: My brother, the original photobomber

Because once you get a little brother, you’ll never have your picture taken by yourself in your Easter finery again.
