So I made the mistake of organizing my recipe bookmarks tonight.
Now ALL I want to do is cook.

Here are my goals:

1) Beef Stew (here) Or something similar. Probably improv a bit.
This is happening SOON. Pay day's on Friday
.
Also, preferably with some pasta inside!

2) Mexican Sweet Rice Drink. I think this is the same drink my elementary school best Friend Dominique's family made. I've been dreaming about it for years. We LOVED it. (here)


3) Homemade Bagels. My friend Meg has been making these pretty frequently. Thought I should get in the game. Plus: YUM. (here)


4) Lemon-Vodka Cream Pops: enough said. It's going to be summer soon! (here)


5) Homemade Granola (here) I've wanted to do this for a long time.


6) Chicken and Artichoke in a wine sauce. (here) I start drooling just looking at this!


7) Hot Spinach Dip (here) oh, and a hot artichoke dip. But I'll have to steal that from my lovely friend Genevieve.


Needless to say, I'm gonna need a raise just to cook all this!

Dear god, I need sleep.
Flash. Flash. Am I done now? No?

What have I been up to?

Well, firstly there's my creepy clown... (color looks awful on here)



Recently, my friend Jeremy and I have decided to do a trade. I give him some cool portraits for his website, and shoot some of his awesome work... and he fixes my horrible, horrible website! YAY!!



His back side :)

My 50's house wife casserole dish...



Aaaaand my first time really ever photographing glass.

(Gonna go back in Thursday, Friday or Saturday and shoot something more interesting w/glass)

Nothing too exciting... but I've been trying a lot of new stuff lately, and that's been fun.

And last but not least? Helping out the ever-exploring and imaginative Joi with some under water test- shooting.

It's been a while. Mid-quarter busy-time has set in!

What have I been up to, you ask?
a lot.

The second week of the quarter Ben & I took a quick trip to his parents house in New Hampshire to celebrate his birthday (and get me away from campus for a bit.) In that weekend I both climbed outdoors and went skiing! Don't you love spring?

(Climbing pictures coming soon... I can't find my camera)
but

My first day skiing:

Me w/my short beginner skis...


Learning from the best... (Ben's dad!!)


Ski Lift! I managed to do this the majority of the time without incident!


View from the top :) We have pictures of me with all the boys... but Ben hasn't surrendered them to me yet!

And then:
MY PARENTS VISITED!!

Here we are at Niagara Falls :)

Me & Mom

My dad & I

Mom & I braving the freezing cold mist to see the Canadian Falls up close!

<3 I miss them lots! But it was lovely to have them here.
