I can not tell you how long this orange sat in our kitchen window sill, but it was still good – and made for a nice still life. It did not go to waste. Joe ate it with his lunch … so, let’s hope it was still good. At any rate, it was my lastContinue reading “Last Still Life – Snapshot of the Day, No 364”

Balsamic Lime Vinaigrette – Snapshot of the Day, No. 363
So far, so good with my new diet to prevent migraines. One thing to avoid: processed foods. So, that means homemade salad dressing for my lunch. Again, this is from Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook, “It’s All Good.”
Muffin Tins – Snapshot of the Day, No. 360
I tried altering the corn muffin recipe today. I added chopped onions, fresh corn and red pepper flakes. And sugar. Got to have sugar to off-set all of that hot stuff. Best muffins of my short cooking career so far. Oh yeah, and I used almond milk again because I’m trying to avoid dairy rightContinue reading “Muffin Tins – Snapshot of the Day, No. 360”
Leftovers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 356
Joe’s mom sent leftovers for our dinner last night. We stopped and got some rotisserie chicken to cap it all off. But let’s be honest. The best part of the meal, by far, are the mashed potatoes. What we like to do is make potato patties out of the mashed potatoes. I mix in garlic,Continue reading “Leftovers – Snapshot of the Day, No. 356”
One For the Team – Snapshot of the Day, No. 355
It is tough this time of year to find time for photos during the day since it gets dark so early. So that forces me to shoot stuff around my house occasionally before I leave for work. This morning I settled on the Rochers Joe got me for Christmas. Because it makes a better photoContinue reading “One For the Team – Snapshot of the Day, No. 355”
Chicken Salad – Snapshot of the Day, No. 349
Chicken salad. I haven’t made that in years! This morning I made it with the rotisserie chicken I made a few nights ago. I added apples, grapes, toasted walnuts, salt and pepper, and red chili flakes to offset the sweet fruit. Oh, and mayonnaise, of course. It turned out to be really good! I wasContinue reading “Chicken Salad – Snapshot of the Day, No. 349”
One Tablespoon – Snapshot of the Day, No. 338
I got a new cookbook for Christmas: “It’s All Good,” by Gwyneth Paltrow. Due to some health issues, including migraines, she developed recipes to help eliminate her medical problems. Hmm. Migraines. Why not? For a few weeks, at least, I plan on gearing my diet as closely to hers as I can reasonably manage. NoContinue reading “One Tablespoon – Snapshot of the Day, No. 338”
Edible but Hot – Snapshot of the Day, No. 336
I bought this pepper plant several months ago to add color to the deck / kitchen. The sign said, “Edible but hot!” Chances are they are even hotter now since I neglected to water them.
Birthday Dinner – Snapshot of the Day, No. 335
Today was our niece’s 18th birthday, so we all met at Blue Orleans for dinner to celebrate. This scene looked like one of those still life paintings to me. I thought I’d make a photo out of it.
Dinner and a Cell Phone – Snapshot of the Day, No. 331
My initial idea for my photo of the day did not work out. My second plan has not happened yet. We are planning on taking the dogs with us to see Christmas lights, but we still haven’t left the house. So….as I was cleaning up the kitchen, I saw the remains of our dinner. ItContinue reading “Dinner and a Cell Phone – Snapshot of the Day, No. 331”
