Day 164


I just had to laugh seeing Max laying with his rubber chicken - he is such a cuddly dog. He always cuddles with me or Josh when he is sleeping, and he has taken to cuddling with his toys as well!

Strawberry Creme Oreos
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
I have discovered the best Oreo that Nabisco has come up with so far. Oreos have always reminded me of my grandparents on my dad's side. Double Stuff Oreos were always in the cookie jar there. I have since fell in love with the mint oreos, but these are even better!! We've already been through 3 packages - no wonder why I can't lose any weight!!!

Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
One of the best (and most colorful) salads ever! Just baby spinach, red cabbage, red bell pepper, carrots, sunflower seeds and some feta cheese. Top with a grilled chicken breast for some protein and some balsamic vinaigrette. YUM!

Flower Power
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
I took Max for a walk and couldn't help but snap some pictures of the beautiful Spring flowers. It was still a little chilly out, but getting out into the sunshine felt great, and Max loved it too!! (Although I think Max taking me for a walk is more accurate!!

Sleepy Spot
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
I didn't cook anything today!! I tried to get caught up on some work that I have been neglecting - so there's a picture of my puppy today! Photo quality is a little poor, but I didn't have my tripod out. This is Max's favorite spot to sleep during the day. He is close enough to the window so that he can look out if he hears any noises, and it's so soft!!

So, this isn't my favorite photo of this mac and cheese, but the picture I like better was taken the next day. So, in keeping with the photo each day, I will settle for this. To see the other photo, (and recipe) click here

Spring Flowers
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
I've been trying to enjoy the beautiful Springtime! I love all of the flowers and all of the colors they bring to the season. So much better than the brown, dead, ugly look that we are leaving behind!

Sleeping Pup
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
I worked 13 hours yesterday, and thought that I had forgotten to take my picture for the day. Then, when I was uploading some pictures today, I discovered this photo that I had forgotten I took! Sometimes when I work, Max likes to sleep by my feet. I looked down at one point and saw the crazy position he was sleeping in, and grabbed my camera so that I could show my husband. What a crazy pup!

Cherry Blossoms
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
A bit of Spring to brighten up your day!

This is from my neighbor's tree. I love the cherry tree blossoms, but I have to also admit that I hate the mess that the tree creates in my driveway later in the year when the cherries go un-picked! (Maybe I'll sneak out and pick some of them this year)

Day 136

OK, I know, sweet treats 3 days in a row!! You can tell it's the weekend! This isn't all I made today, though! My writing on this blog may be short or non-existent from here forward. The photos will still be coming, but I have started a new food blog at Every Day Food from a Working Woman. I will be blogging about my cooking adventures and sharing some recipes there. A lot of my photos from here on out will probably be for my new blog.

Chocolate Torte
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
This cake was so yummy!! I have been dying to make it, and finally had the excuse for a co-worker's going away party today.

I have been doing some contemplating. I started my Photo a Day project to become a better photographer. I have found myself, over the last couple weeks, just taking a picture to say that I had my picture for the day. This is not really what I had in mind when I started this project. I think a lot of it is because I have been trying to figure out what "kind" of photographer (I use that term lightly) I want to be. I am inspired by the street photography of Lab2112 and Moonwire But it is difficult here in Utah to find interesting things happening on the streets. I love the self portraits of Officially A Mom.and Marvelous Momma but I lack the skills, creativity, and photoshop abilities. So I've been thinking - I need to decide what I want to really become good at - not just follow through with the motions to say that I have. So here it is - I love food. I love making it, I love looking at it, and I love eating it. I could spend all day looking online for recipes or reading cookbooks. I was inspired by Meeta who is a great food photographer. She also has a food blog, which I quickly found out that food blogging is quite popular. So I think this is the direction I am going to go in for now. It will give me an excuse to cook more, and this way I can be passionate about two things at one. And hopefully I will learn a few things instead of just skating along. You can see my new food blog (including the recipe for this cake at Every Day Food from a Working Woman.

I'll still be taking other pictures on days I don't cook, I will be concentrating my photos on food.

Surviving
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
Most of the snow has melted from yesterday's storm, but it is still pretty cold outside (43F right now). I was glad to see the first of my tulips starting to bloom. Being a first time flower grow-er, I was afraid that this cold would kill them all, but they are surviving!!

Spring Has Sprung
Originally uploaded by Deborah Harroun.
Some more of my flowers bloomed over the weekend. This is so exciting for me, as this is the first actual house we have owned, and I planted these flowers last fall, excited for the Springtime. I don't remember what kind they are, but I am really excited for when all of the tulips start blooming. My yard is going to be full of color!
