Grilled Peas, Rain, & Alien Blood

I totally missed Caturday but I promise to make it up to you. (I have a few ideas already stirring.) Strange coincidence for you, as I was compiling this post I realized it is also raining and I was thinking of making that very meal (Grilled Peas and Soup) today because it’s chilly and gloomy. I never posted the recipe here, so I’ll do that later this week as well. It’s delicious!

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Ours was busy but fun. Saturday we had lunch with one of Tom’s relatives who was here for a layover on a connecting flight. (He works for the UN and basically bounces all over the place.) And yesterday we went over to Tom’s father’s house and used their waffle maker for one of the cookbook recipes and it received two big enthusiastic thumbs up from both Tom and Jim. (I am allergic to one of the ingredients so I couldn’t have any. Boo! It sure did look good, though.) We had a lot of fun making a little party of it and I really liked that.

Anyway, my favorite photo in this batch is Tom and I because I luff him. Haha, okay, I also like the crop and the lighting. (My second favorite is the one of Morn and my mom’s blanket!) My least favorite is… I guess the “Gross” photo, only because it’s the one I like the least. It reminds me of alien blood cells or something. Ahem. Right.

The photo for “Whole” was taken quite simply. I saw that the light was hitting Tom beautifully while we were making lunch and I simply set my camera down on the counter, checked the viewfinder and then put it on a timer and clicked before joining him in the photo. I only took one, and this was it, and I loved it.

“Copy” (May 16th)

While we could just make grilled cheese with vegan cheese, Tom and I try to make new staples and alternatives rather than just copying the “old” stuff. We’ve dubbed this rosemary and lemon grilled chickpea meal, “Grilled Peas and Soup”. Har har.

“Blood” (May 17th)

“Words” (May 18th)

Birthday gifts from Bronwyn. (Thanks again, Bronwyn!)

“Hand Made” (May 19th)

This is Morn’s favorite blanket; it was a graduation gift from my mother and no matter where I put it Morn will follow.

“Fancy” (May 20th)

We don’t have a lot of room in the apartment, so I’m using this wooden Christmas decoration as a holder for my necklaces. I like it so much I’m not sure I’ll be able to part with it come Christmas time.

“Whole” (May 21st)

Making breakfast always requires two.

“Graffiti” (May 22nd) & “Gross” (May 23rd)

 
The prompt for the first photo was “graffiti”, but I left the house at 9 before checking the prompt. We were out all day and this is a photo I really liked! Oh, well!
