Day 115: Signs of Spring

A friend in London recently sent pictures of her baby crawling threw the grass in lush parks. She said that spring has been so lovely that they have been strolling in the neighborhood and rolling in the grass for weeks already. We don’t even have leaves on the trees yet! But the trees are indeed budding and it was an encouraging sign.

Day 113: Spring Sale

It was April 23rd and the first hot sunny day of the season in Chicago. My friends preparing a move to Korea couldn’t have had a better day for their yard sale, most of the neighborhood walked by.

Day 91: Can you find me?

I was exploring the neighborhood with a friend and wandered into a secondhand shop that I had thought was a store selling repurposed construction material. Anyway i had fun taking some interesting photos.

Day 80: Quick oats

I've been making steel cut oatmeal for breakfast for the last few months. I usually make 3 or 4 portions and save them in individual containers for the coming days so that I don't have to spend 30+ minutes making breakfast everyday. Here I found a quick version and gave it a try. Worked out fine.

Photographing food is a real challenge. I'm surprised how many of my new things have been food related.

Day 79: Local Brew

Visiting my hometown of Cleveland I usually like to enjoy Great Lakes Brewing Co. Beers. Maybe because St Paddy’s Day just passed but I found a new Great Lakes ale on the shelves in the store called Conway’s Irish Ale and I had to give it a try. It was hearty and tasty and I enjoyed it completely.

Day 78: Staples can be an interesting finishing touch

My mom got 2 new knees at once. Anyone who knows her wouldn’t expect anything less. She’s extra productive and efficient like that.

Day 75: Liquid beta-carotene

I have a new juicer and made some fresh carrot juice laced with ginger to drink and also made some more carrot juice to use as a base for a veggie soup.
