The lobby of my building. Taken with the Hipstamatic app: Lucifer VI lens, Kodot XGrizzled film. I contemplated taking a picture of the Sicilian-ish style simmered tomato, onion & caper sauce with broccoli and rice I wolfed down for dinner, but the end of the day was too damn stressful with last-minute copy deadlines. So, a quick-snapped shot of the building after getting dog food at Target before the boys starve to death will just have to suffice.

Taken with the Blend Cam app (standard shot with monochrome version overlay) outside of YiYa’s Bakery/Cuban Restaurant, which serves up the best Pan Con Bistec in town. Their Cuban and breakfast sandwiches kick ass, too. Low on grease, high on quality.

*Princess Peach hands by ear gesture* My hero(s). My 2-day odyssey to find pork belly ends here. More details on what I’m doing with pork belly, along with a pictorial coming shortly.

My little bites, D’artagnan. He’s a pint-sized punk-rock Napoleonic dictator, but the cuddlyist little guy I know. Since returning from the chaos that was Weinerfest, he’s been extra sleepy and extra snuggly. Neither of us is complaining.

Scene from the 2011 Dachshund Winterfest, where I spent my morning & afternoon selling, selling, selling! The event went great–we raised a lot of cash to cover rescue expenses & the T-shirt I designed sold out!

A ridiculously happy Nembu for almost no reason. It’s nice to see my sad old man with a smile.

These do not look like my feet. I finally broke down and with cajoling from my husband, bought my first pair of grownup workout shoes.

As I was taking the garbage out this morning, I was struck by how creepy the mist looked and just had to shoot it.

Ok, so some day I’ll take a picture of something that is not food. Today, however is not that day. Today I was too tired after working & working out for an inspiring shot.

Tonight’s dinner: eggs & hashbrowns. Eggs & hashbrowns has been my go-to dinner since high school and it’s still one of my absolute favorites. These days, the hashbrowns are fresh more often than not, and I include onion, shallot or leek and garlic powder. The eggs are always fried sunny side up, with the whites separated off and cooked until almost burnt. Cheese is optional & whatever I have on hand. Tonight it happened to be provolone & Swiss. A satisfying non-committal dinner for a rainy night.
