RRRRRAWR! (Actually, that’s just him yawning. But doesn’t he look fierce? I need me some of that.) Seriously, though – very lazy day. Lots of napping going on. Laziness. Good for me. Made a frittata (below). Was trying to improve on my own technique, after sampling someone else’s at brunch. Very satisfying. Do you ever [...]

garbage juice
Yesterday when I was bagging up my kitchen garbage to take out, I spilled garbage juice all over my work pants and wool socks. Nasty. I immediately took them off and soaked them in a bucket of water with a few glugs of vinegar added, to help deodorize them. I’ll be laundering them today… First [...]

kitchen towel
The above photo was taken early in the morning while I was preparing my breakfast and lunch. I lay on my kitchen floor beside my refrigerator to take it. This is the towel (rag, really) that I use to wipe my hands while I’m working in the kitchen. I change it every day for a [...]

perfect parking
I park in an underground parking lot at my office. It’s a good day when I can pull through into my spot, so that I’m facing out rather than having to back in. Perfect parking. The perfect parking spot. It’s funny how good that makes me feel. Another thing that makes me feel good is [...]

magical bowls
I store produce in two glass-fronted cupboards in my kitchen. Each cupboard holds several bowls on shelves, and to a friend of mine, it looks like the bowls magically replenish themselves every week. I wish. This whimsical idea has been entertaining me, though. What if I really did have magical bowls? What if they really [...]

making breakfast
This is the scene pretty much every workday morning in my kitchen. I make my breakfast and my lunch at this counter, using this cutting board. Tomatoes optional. ___ See this on Tumblr.

kitchen still lifes
Just some random kitchen photos from this past weekend. I feel like I’ve had a bit of a dry spell, photography-wise, but that may be changing… I appreciate clean dishes and local fruit and the light in my kitchen.

eggs
I recently started eating (organic, free-range) eggs again, after being vegan for several months. (I’ve been vegetarian for 26 years.) I wanted to increase my protein consumption without increasing my carbs. Unfortunately there have been several heat waves this summer, which has meant that I’ve been focusing on cooking methods that require the least possible [...]

my favorite olive oil
A few days ago I ran out of olive oil, and asked my mom if she would look for some more for me, when she was running an errand to the grocery store. She called me from the store, saying she didn’t see the brand I’d mentioned, but did I want another kind that was [...]

more kitchen sink photos
It’s been a while since I’ve taken regular photos of my kitchen sink. I used to shoot them every morning while I made my breakfast and bag lunch. I still love looking at vegetable scraps in my kitchen sink, though. They’re so colourful, and textural, and full of endless patterns and rhythms. I appreciate vegetables.
