Jan 18--Pancake

[zyzyly]

one of the things I put down on my "list of things to do" at the beginning of the year was to wash all the dishes in the sink each night before I went to bed.

Another was to eat more fruit.

A third was to post a picture every day.

So far, so good.

Comments

nice

[voiceboxvandal.livejournal.com]

you have a nice home

[blues-dream.livejournal.com]

I should really be doing all of those things myself.

The first two, at least, since I am digital camera-less.

However, I am now heading to bed, not having eaten any fruit today and with hella dishes in the sink.

I am a bad, bad man!

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

I once invited a girl to live with me after she came over and did a couple of weeks worth of my dishes that were piled up.

[blues-dream.livejournal.com]

I would have had very much the same reaction.

[glaineacht.livejournal.com]

hee. I love this one. the warmth is very inviting.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

help yourself to a tangerine!

[daily-in-la.livejournal.com]

Um, excuse me, sir, there is a baseball in your fruit.

[gutbloom.livejournal.com]

They have exotic things in California. Fads start there. Now I want to eat a "baseball fruit".

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Oh Gutbloom, always trying to jump on the bandwagon after it has already gone past. Nobody eats baseball fruit anymore.

[daily-in-la.livejournal.com]

Okay, are you supposed to be God or Adam? Or is it Joseph?

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

How about Matthew?

[mizdandylynn.livejournal.com]

I think the baseball might be a bit too much fiber...

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

And not nearly as tasty as raisin bran!

[mizdandylynn.livejournal.com]

uh... raisins are definitely too much fiber for me... any dried fruit (queen of the tmi)

[poetbear.livejournal.com]

i'll stick with a tangerine, those baseballs are
too stringy!!~paul

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Fiber is good for you Paul!

[poetbear.livejournal.com]

:o)

You're doing better than I am.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I have plenty of time to do these things--when I go back to work next week it might be a different story!

[niyabinghi.livejournal.com]

You eat Craisins?
**shudders!**

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Oh they're not too bad! These were Arlina's--she also had a huge bag of slivered almonds--she put both in her cereal. Since I "inherited" them, I have done my best to get rid of them. I put the cranberries in my raisin bran and in my mixed fruit scones--mmmmmm!

the almonds are a little more difficult to use, since I don't really like almonds. I made pancakes yesterday (from scratch!) and tossed in a handful of them--it was pretty good.

It's interesting that you noticed the craisins. They were one of the few things in the picture that weren't purposefully placed--they just happened to be there.

[daily-in-la.livejournal.com]

"since I don't really like almonds"

wth? You crazy! Whatever.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Oh I should qualify that. I do like them in certain dishes, such as mushroom caps stuffed with almonds. Mmmmmmmm!

[niyabinghi.livejournal.com]

Heh... :)
Kind of funny, I spent more time than usual looking at this picture. Picturing the both of you in it, cooking, puttering around.
I like to look at peoples' kitchen things.

I like Arlina's tea kettle, and her baskets.

[brendamom.livejournal.com]

Good for you and your resolutions. I've fallen off the photo wagon, hope to climb back on.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

It always waits for you. One of the things about my new years list is that it also gave me permission not to stress about doing any of the other things on the list.

[whirledpeas.livejournal.com]

Oh you have a nice kitchen, very large...very homey.
(Note, I did not say homo-ey...that would be my kitchen.)

You also have a lot of soaps around your sink. Hmm.

KitchenAid Envy,
Peas.

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Not too many soaps--dish soap, hand soap and some alcohol disinfectant gel.

I love my kitchen--I think it was designed by someone who actually cooks, because everything is where it ought ot be.

Lovely!

[iluvdaphne.livejournal.com]

I would like to rephrase that last comment, so I deleted it and started fresh.

I would love to step into this picture and live in your kitchen. To cook in it must be a dream! Are you baking much lately?

It is warm and inviting. It looks like a real home. I can imagine the taste of that orange, chewing it with the juice running down my chin. The scent of the candle wafting through the air..

That countertop is amazing, and also that built in sink too. Those cabinets are warm and woody. I have those cabinets well almost, mine are just a tad darker.

The space above with the plates and decorations, I wanted space above mine when we built this house but hubby said no, there would be dust above not decorations if I know you. Humph! I cannot climb a ladder, I freeze. I love the space above the cabinets has just the right amount of decorations, spaced just so.

That one plate looks like those that I grew up with, the blue and white one, if that is blue. Second from the left of the basket in the corner.

The basket of fruit with the baseball in it was genuis to see if it was picked out. As I see many did.

Your tea kettle is beautiful, I collect tea pots, though I do not drink tea. I am odd I know, I am told that quite often. And your cup ready for said tea is cute.

What a delightful kitchen :)

Re: Lovely!

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

Oh yes--what a lovely coment this is!

I haven't been baking much lately, but am kind of getting ready to go back to it--I bought all new ingredients and all I need is a pinch of motivation.

"Well, if you gotta dream..."

Nice taste in music, too. :-)

I am growing to love ani difranco one song at a time.

[pasticcio.livejournal.com]

What a fabulous picture... I'm not sure why but I think this is my favourite so far!

What's the postcard on the front of the cabinet about?

[lowflyingsquab.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you like it!

I can't tell you what the postcard is about because it is a secret. ;)
