The look of food

I love to cook. I don't generally do it though. It drives me mad to try and cook in my kitchen. Now my kitchen is adequet for making food...but just not for the way I make it. I prefer to make spreads, not just here's chicken and away we go. Which means lots of dishes...and me being scattered brained trying to be chopping, stiring, mixing and washing at the same time. And I must be on guard for the 2 food theives in my house, they sneak in and pick at everything! I like to plate things (watch food network if you don't know what that means) I like it to look nice, everything be in very cool yet simple serving dishes. Garnished slightly, and never with something you won't be eating. I want to have the deserts, drinks and side dishes that go with the meal. That's just the way I've always thought about food. Which is so odd, because I don't like to eat food like that. I prefer bagels and simple sandwiches to gourmet meals. But the look of food makes me want to do it, lemongrass simmering next to red chilies, apple cider and bacon coating the chicken, farm fresh tomatoes seared on the grill.....I know it looks good and I wish I could make it.

Please be patient with the blog..I'm messing with some templets...or trying too :)

Insomnia can be fun...sometimes.

I don't sleep that well. Generally I have at least 2 nights of no sleep a week. It's not too horrible, I play games, mess with my camera, catch up on writing. Some time's I have 4 or 5 nights of no sleep in a week, those are the less fun. In my mass insomnia you'd think my house would be spotless and uber organized. Far from it. When I can't sleep I can't clean. I do things that I can do on autopilot. Playing video games, writing another chapter in my story, taking odd pictures. Those things required no active thoughts from me and I can run on zombie mode so to speak. I just slip on my ipod drown my world in music and go for it. These are some of my latest insomnia pictures.



This one was back when Ciela stayed the night and we played with water droplets and food coloring.



I love lights, and the color blue and was trying something I read about in Pop Photo.



Pria got one of those pin art things...I was amused far too much with it.



Just because I can't take a normal picture of myself ;)

They are fun moments for me...when I can be stupid and silly and no one gets to see, unless Chris wakes up in the middle of the night :D

Figured now was a good time to post some Halloween pictures of Pria. She had a really fun time at the ward party and going trick or treating with her buddies Ryan and Jack in the rich neighborhood. It was freezing cold so her costume ended up being perfect for her.



She was really good about not being too scraed at the trunk or treat....at least for the most part.


Not sure about who this is, but Pria loved to dance with her.
