Cherry Lovers
Jun 16th
Take care of your body. Eat lots of fruits and vegetables. Eat lots of cherry. Drink lots of its juice.
Then perhaps you’ll grow old like them 
It wasn’t til this morning when resizing this photo when I realized (and saw) that prominent white light reflection on the right top side of the cherry…bad reflection! Looks like the cherry was beginning to rot.
Doing another exam today, the last part….looking forward to it
Aardbeien in het donker (Strawberries in the dark)
Jun 7th
It’s strawberry season, yes!
Smart consumers and strawberry lovers (like myself) buy them when in season. Otherwise you will get hard, sour or even lacking in taste fruit if you buy them too soon or too late. Now, now is the time to buy them around here and this batch was my 3rd purchase for the past 3 weeks. A pound was bought for my father-in-law who also loves this fruit. But before he could get his hands on them, I thought of an idea…..
I have always liked, even marvelled at beautifully photographed fruits, especially strawberries. Sweet and healthy strawberries (imo) has this firey red glossy skin that makes it attractive and oh so mouth watering (top it with whipped cream, oh man!) But I seldom see them photographed in the dark. And I wanted (or attempted) to create that before giving these strawberries to the owner.
I used light as little as possible. Single light was faced against a wall and let it bounce all over my tiny studio (note to self: small room is ideal for product shots such as this) and I am pretty excited of the outcome. I was able to get that minimum light reflection that I was hoping to create. Of course it took me a lot of shots before I could choose this one that spoke to me the most. It was worth the backaches.
Have a great week ahead of you!
Us, having breakfast? (003)
Jan 3rd
Breakfast is pretty much unheard of in this small family of mine. My husband’s idea of a good hearty meal is dinner time! Yep, both my husband and I are two bloated whales because of this practise. I have tried to convince him to eat breakfast but noooo, he’s just not the type. Would you believe if I tell you that we sit down for breakfast such as this usually on the 2nd day of each new year?! But since we had too much to eat on the eve of Jan. 1 , we had to skip Jan. 2nd breakfast. But this morning it happened, lol! Oh yeah, we also sit down for breakfast during vacations! I don’t know why but that’s the only time you’ll see my husband eating breakfast. What about me? Now I’m just like him, I skip breakfast because it’s just not fun eating alone. 
On other note, I am going to attempt to upload at least a-photo-day and file them under ‘Project 2010′ . It’s the 3rd day so…wish me luck! I hope to make it on the last day of 2010! 
Spiced red cabbage
Dec 29th
A side dish I made on Christmas eve dinner-for-two. It was my very first time to make it and if you just allow me to say it, it was good. “Erg lekker! echt nederlandse rodekool! je mag hetI shall be vaak koken, lieverd” ( really good! this is a real dutch red cabbage! you should make this often, sweetheart – my husband.)
Well I’ll be posting the recipe on my foodblog soon.. only I am trying to fill the ‘Food’ category on this blog (lost almost all of them due to my ex-webhost .)
