Apparently you can't brown Italian sausage in a skillet with just Pam. (Heaven forbid you skip the oil!) Thus, I've been soaking/scrubbing/soaking this dish for 2 days. This is as far as I've gotten.
Fellow photogs: If you want to use this as a texture, you can download the file here. :)
UPDATE: I finally gave up and tossed the pan. No dish is worth THAT much scrubbing. Geesch!
My friend and fellow photographer Brooke Mayo has a hubby in the wine making business. Their business is called Sanctuary Vineyards... and while myself and the rest of the photogirls were at Nags Head, Brooke organized a wine tasting for us. I fell head over heels for the muskadine & blackberry varieties.
So when I got home, I ordered some from Brookie Pants. It arrived on Monday. Yum! :)
Thanks Brooke!
Hello Chicagoans! I'm going to be in the Windy City May 5th & 6th, so if anyone wants to get together for coffee, chit chat, or to schedule a photo shoot (kids, engagements, whatever!), let me know!
Drop me a note and we'll get something on the books. :)
Last time I checked, Nebraska was a landlocked state... but apparently the local seagulls don't mind. While shooting at Haymarket Park, this little guy was struttin' his stuff. :)
There were tons of them flying around... I guess they like to tail gate as much as people do. :) The sound reminded me of my recent trip to Nags Head Island.
In an effort to get more exercise (and humbly do my part to save the planet!) I recently got myself an old skool cruiser bike. Some assembly was required.... so I did what any typical young gal would do.... I called my Dad. :)
He is THE best. He showed up with tools, an air compressor, and his typical "I'll take care of it" enthusiasm. I just love him.
Isn't he the cutest?
My dad's hands are like magic. They can fix/heal/cure/build anything. They fixed up my bruised/skinned knees when I was a kid, they built the incredible jungle gym we had in our backyard when we were growing up, they hugged me whenever I needed it, and now.... even when I'm 28 years old... they're still willing to help me put my bike together.
Thanks Doad.... you are a treasure!
Our little Merki is quite the character. She likes to sleep in all kinds of odd places in even stranger positions. Here she is sleeping on Emir's lap using the keyboard for a pillow. Too funny!
I've always known that I have the best clients in the world.... I was reminded of this again yesterday when I called Adrienne to let her know her photos were ready to pick up. Her response was, "Do you like Kolaches?"
When Emir and I got home last night, this is what we found waiting for us on the front porch. :)
Thanks Adrienne! :) (They didn't last long... already gone!) Yum!
Howdy! I'm on the road this week teaching Photoshop in 3 cities across 2 states... fun, fun, fun! That means Emir went stag to our dance class last night... :( What a great sport he is... I can't wait for him to show me what he learned!
What's a post without photos? Here are a couple I happen to have with me from a trip Emir and I took a couple years ago... These are no ordinary pigeons. They're Venetian pigeons. As in... Venice, Italy. I thought there was something special about them.... :)
This morning, we got up early and drove to Omaha to watch my Incredible Hulk of a brother (and his incredible hulk-ette of a girlfriend) pump some serious iron at a power-lifting competition.
Here's the Hulk himself... isn't he a cutie?
Hard to believe this guy squating 463lbs. is my kid brother. He went on to bench 331lbs. and deadlift a whopping 535lbs.!
How cute is this? He and Jamie have matching shoes... :)
Here's Jamie going for her squat totaling 178lbs. She benched 106lbs. and dead lifted 204lbs. Whoa! Go Jamie!
You can't tell in the photo, but she was rockin' a purple power belt.... what a stylish diva. :)
Emir and my dad look on.... Mom and I were front and center for photo opps... :)
Here's my hunk-a-hunk-a husband... :)
My Doad (aka: dad. My sister spelled it "Doad" when she was a kid, and it just stuck....)
That was fun guys.... way to go!
Isn't it amazing how great light can make even the most mundane objects look great?
We have skylights in our kitchen, and at the right time of day, everything looks amazing. Even the bathroom door knob! Ha ha ha!
