Polka Dots

I have spent the last 5+ hours cleaning my entire apartment, so I thought I would take a break to post on my blog. I have had these pictures on my computer for a while and keep forgetting to post them. As I was making dinner one night a couple of weeks ago, I was inspired by the blog "Orangette" that I like to read. She takes pictures of the food that she makes and posts them on her blog with both a story surrounding the process and the recipe for all to try. There are very few blogs that I keep up with on a frequent basis or any basis at all, for that matter, but my friend Jennifer introduced me to this blog a while ago, and it immediately caught my eye. Her writing is a wonderful mixture of humor, truth, and inspiration. I haven't tried any of her recipes yet, but for those of you who like to cook, I'm sure they are wonderful! Anyway, after I made dinner for myself a couple weeks ago, I was suddenly inspired by the combination of the colorful food presentation with the polka dotted background and couldn't resist taking a picture to post on here.

First, the swirly red onion I cut into...


Now...the food!


Coming soon: pictures from my friend Michelle's art show!
