I love Jamie O

I love Jamie Oliver; have been following him for years. For Christmas, prior to hearing about his new TV show, we added his most recent cookbook to our wish list. I have to say, not a single week has gone by since Christmas that I have not cooked something from this book (not kidding). Sure, there are a few recipes in the book I vow to never cook ( for one "Vindaloo"- a hot hot hot curry that will make you want to slap someone) but as of yet, everything I have made (and I've made a lot) has been delicious.

A few of our favs:

- Broiled trout topped with mustard and oats (pictured)


- Chopped family salad

-Sweet potato and chorizo soup

- Sizzling beef with scallions and black bean sauce (pictured)


- Lasagne (not a typo this is the Italian spelling) (pictured)



Tonight I am making his Chicken fajitas (pictured)!



For those of you who are around me quite frequently, (you know who you are Michelle, Lauren, and Mike) you're probably sick of hearing me talk about Jamie's food so I will wrap this up. I highly recommend this cookbook, or, if you're a skeptic, just come over and I'll cook for you :)

The world through the eyes of Holga

We love our Holga. The Holga is an inexpensive, 120 film toy camera made in China. Holga's have very low cost construction and they often yield pictures that display blur, light leaks, and other distortions. Its problems with quality are the main reason why it is so unique. Holga photos have won awards and competitions in art and photography. Casey and I do not fit into the category of award winning photographers; we just think it takes really cool pictures. See for yourself. All of the pictures below are courtesy of Jones photograpy, however for more professional samples check out Toy Camera.
