Work has been super-busy, I’m taking another graphic design class, and, well, I don’t know, I just haven’t been posting.

I’ve got a few good recipes waiting in the wings, and lots more ideas floating around in my head, so I’ll be back.

See you soon.

Anyways, I thought this was hilarious. You have to have seen the original “Yes, We Can” video, so if you haven’t seen it yet, click here first.

Thanks Neatorama!

It put a smile on my face.

Completely food un-related. Sorry about that.

I think I got a little overloaded with cooking, and the dark, dark nights are getting me down. I mean, what’s the point of cooking anything if there isn’t enough light to get a good picture of it? The non-blogging streak began with Thanksgiving when I missed all sorts of good photo opportunities, what with the chaos of Thanksgiving, with people around, not to mention the wine. I did remember to capture one good photo of the meal, via my friend Abby’s plate. Here it is.

We had a potluck Thanksgiving at my folks house this year, which worked beautifully. (And you know I like potlucks.) Everyone contributed something, and no one had to stress out and get up at the crack of dawn to prep a dozen dishes. I’ll post about my contributions, namely the stuffing (gluten-free), the mushroom gravy (also gluten-free), and the delicious brussels sprouts with chestnuts in brown butter sauce from Deb over at Smitten Kitchen.

First, my husband and I have now been married for 6 months. That’s half a year. And it’s been great. I’m glad to be married to you, honey. You’re the best man I’ve ever known.

Second, my blog just reached 500 total hits! YEEHAW!!! I know that’s lots and lots of clicks from just a few people, all of whom I know personally, but there’s some of you I’ve never even met that are reading this thing. How awesome is that!

Like I’ve been saying, the macro setting on our little point & shoot does a pretty decent job when there’s good light. Aren’t these cute?

]]> http://jannamo.com/blog/experimenting-with-the-new-camera/feed/ 0 No fancy stuff… http://jannamo.com/blog/no-fancy-stuff/ http://jannamo.com/blog/no-fancy-stuff/#comments Sun, 11 Nov 2007 08:47:05 +0000 jannamo http://jannamo.com/blog/?p=32 There’s always stuff I want that I don’t have. Now that we’ve got this great point & shoot little camera, I’m thinkin how great it would be to have a digital SLR, and then wouldn’t it be great to have Photoshop so I could do some real editing of my photos. Oh, and while we’re at it, how about a new Kitchenaid Mixer, granite countertops, and 3000 square feet of kitchen space, of course with lots and lots of natural light.

As my husband says, when he’s feeling a little feisty, “It’s good to want things.”

So in the meantime, I’m actually pretty pleased with the results from our new little point & shoot. No touching up or recoloring at all.

By the way, anyone know what kind of plant this is?
