show and tell
So I wanted to see something up close.
Something close up.
I had visions of me shooting picture after picture of wonderful textures and patterns that no one would be able to recognize -- I envisaged you all having an ahhhaaaa moment when you recognized my pant leg or the hair on my arm. (ew)
But then the week caught up with me.
Whine.
I spent, like, four hours making a special dinner for valentines day -
cornmeal breaded tilapia with fresh salsa and polenta
and a semisweet chocolate three layer cake with vanilla cream filling and ganache.
And damn.
Damn, if I was a full time pastry person I wouldn't have to do laundry. (Oldest brought giant bags of laundry back here when he moved home and NO I do not WANT him near my washing machine.)
So the pictures I had in mind?
Not here.
Here - look at this
a meringue I made. (please pronounce it like the dance: mer-ang-gay)
Check out its soft fluffiness.
Oh LOOK.
It's not a meringue at ALL.
It's the incredibly fake looking snow by the kitchen door!
Wild, huh!?
all right.
That's it for today.
It's survivor night.

Your snow is nifty! I would love the occasional snow.
BUt forget that, I'm just loving that vista through the back door into the kitchen. Singing: Baby it's cold outside...

and that's saying alot because I am heartily SICK of snow.
I'm up.... but you have to scroll down and check out the travesty of the face in the previous two posts for my close-up to mean much.
I thought we weren't going to see snow this winter. As Edna Mode would say, "But here we aaare!"
Survivor night, indeed. How do they keep coming up with all the twists that keep it interesting? I'm amazed
Here's hoping Shane goes down in flames tonight. And I might mean that literally.
But, sorry...I don't watch Survivor. (Is it ok to admit that?)
