Is this a gorgeous onion or what? Just look at that strong stalk. I can’t claim to have grown this beauty in my own soil. No, I bought it from a road side stand in Prince Edward County. I drove out there this week to meet with some clients whose wedding I’m photographing at the end of August at The Grange Winery. Boy I love my job!
On a side note, I just pulled from the oven my first handmade peach pie. I adore peach pie, don’t you?
I picked these beets from my garden this morning, turned around and say the white Plexiglas like tabletop still standing in my yard from my birthday dinner outdoors. Then I thought to grab my camera. My friend and photographer Bill, has recently revealed his beautiful and technically perfect images of botanicals on his blog. I guess you can say my beet portraits are inspired from him.
I sowed beet seeds in my garden for the first time last year and fell in love with their flavour. I’m looking forward to eating these two lovelies for dinner tonight. Fresh salmon and beet salad from the garden sounds just right!
These images represent the making of one fine Vegan Chocolate Cake. The recipe is from Moosewood and can be found easily on line.
I have had one chocolate cake recipe in my repertoire far too long, so when my baking friend extraordinaire, Vicki, made this cake and shared it with me, I knew I had finally found a yummy substitute for my stand by chocolate bundt cake. This recipe can be varied from the original, for instance, mine wasn’t a complete vegan cake as I used 2 dark chocolate bars for the glaze, which have milk in them. It’s a very quick and easy cake to make, and from the second helpings had around me, I would say more than acceptable.
Our knitting group is turning into a foodie group. Just look at the spread! However, there is proof that a few of the women are still managing to knit themselves scarves, blankets, baby hats and sweaters.
