Posting once a day is haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaard.
Cheers.

Absolutely nothing

There is nothing to this post. I promised two yesterday, only delivered one (and a repost at that). In the interest of not totally laming out on my own project, I’m posting a couple of lines. That’s all I got today.
Hopefully more tomorrow.
Cheers.

So I blew it yesterday. Blame it on the husband coming home. He’s distractingly handsome. At any rate, June 1st and now June 10th are two FAIL days in my experiment. But we’ll soldier on.
To make it up, I’m going to post twice today and in the first post, I’m sharing a funny video that you have probably already seen. This gives you another chance/excuse to watch it. See how thoughtful I am?
The great Irving Penn salad still life experiment (part one…)
~This is the seventh post in a series running through the month of June 2009 in which I attempt to post once a day for the month.~
Irving Penn was a photographer who shot during most of last century. He created the style that is now ever-present in Vogue and Vanity Fair, the Clinique ads that everyone knows, and has been emulated by I’m sure countless photographers.
I have photographic aspirations. Not huge ones. Just making photos that are a little better than average. Maybe even a good one or two. The problem with those kinds of aspirations, or any aspirations I suppose, is that you start learning things. And once you start learning things, you start thinking that you’re doing it WRONG.

The title of the post is an affectionate poke at the seminal worm wrangling book by Mary Applehof, Worms Eat My Garbage
June 2009 is “post a day” month…and I’ve blown it already!
I love the idea of “x” a “y” projects. “One new meal a week.” “Five minutes of cleaning a day.” “Read a book a month.” So when the idea occurred to me to jump my blog posting into higher gear by posting once a day for the month of June, I thought I was a bona fide genius…
Look what we grew! | Tomatoes
By “we” I mean the husband. He’s a regular Farmer McGraw. These are from a plant that went into a container late last July (a bit on the late side for the poor plant) and has given fruit here and there all winter. Turns out you can grow indeterminate (which basically means “fruit ’till I die”) varieties through the winter as long as the temperature doesn’t drop too low. The husband has four thriving baby plants he started from seed that are going strong and have just been transplanted into…
Grilled Cheese Month | How did I not know about this?
I guess I did know it was Grilled Cheese Month, but somehow managed to shove it to the back of my mind. Which is probably good because honestly, I don’t need 30 days of grilled cheese even though I could easily eat nothing but for 30 days. This was my favorite sandwich growing up, when we made it with the whitest bread available and cheese that seemed as plastic as the wrapping, almost as sweet as candy and orange like only American cheese is orange.
This makes me really happy
Cheers.
Holy moly, have some steak!
One of our Christmas presents from my (super-way-too-generous!) mother-in-law arrived today. I don’t think our freezer has ever been so well-stocked and I had to post a photo.
If anyone needs a square beef-filled meal, come on over.
Cheers.
