Day 305 – Curried Butternut Squash Soup

305/365 (Nov 1, 2011) – Gads I love this stuff. Takes a bit of work but every mouthful is worth the effort! As the weather gets colder and the days get darker I usually bring “Soup Sundays” back. This was lunch today, leftover from Sunday’s big pot, and another reason I love making soup – lunches for a few days!…

Day 295 – Pumpkin Season

295/365 (Oct 22, 2011) – There are so many things I love about Autumn. I could do without so much of the rain, but there are so many good things that I can overlook the precipitation. I love the warm heavy colours of Fall – the rich browns, golden yellows, fiery oranges, deep plums, dark conifer greens, and fabulous deep…

Day 293 – Cinnamon Sticks

293/365 (Oct 20, 2011) – Back in the kitchen again. Seriously, is there any room that has so many photogenic items that can be framed in so many different manners? Or, phrased differently, is there any room that can save me at the end of the day when I have no idea what to take a photo of?

Day 287 – An Apple Today, Uploaded from my Everyday Apple :)

287/365 (Oct 14, 2011) – Fall is the best time for fresh crisp apples. Apples that aren’t covered in wax and 6 months old, having been kept in coolers to supply the masses out of season. I remember when all one could buy in the grocery store were Red Delicious and Golden Delicious, Spartans, Macintosh. and Granny Smiths. Now there…

Day 286 – Empty

286/365 (Oct 13, 2011) – Like a canvas, waiting to be painted with the colours of dinner. Thanksgiving is over, but I’m still thankful that I know my plate will be filled, so many others aren’t so lucky.

Day 283 – Pumpkin Cheesecake

283/365 (Oct 10, 2011) – Ahhhh Thanksgiving….it’s the one holiday that really is so much about food. Comfort food. Turkey (or ham, or goose), root vegetables, pumpkin pie. Or, in our case a twist on the traditional – pumpkin cheesecake instead. ____ Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake (sort of a combination of a couple of different recipes) Crust: 2/3 cup flour 3…

Day 257 – The “Old” Days

257/365 (Sept 14, 2011) – Nothing of much interest today. About the best I could find were some cool cans of spice in the kitchen cupboard. OK, without Kirk or I’d have nothing. He’s my muse. I say “I need something yellow” and he starts making suggestions. Nine times out of ten he hits an idea worwothht pursuing. So if…

Day 253 – Untapped Potential

253/365 (Sept 10, 2011) – OK, so today’s Daily Challenge was supposed to be from a high vantage point, but the last time I did that I stuck my head into the ceiling fan and just about knocked myself unconscious, so I opted for a lower vantage point today. It’s a bit of a running ‘joke’ between Kirk and I…

Day 250 – Dark Roast

250/365 (Sept 7, 2011) – I needed a lot of this today. Up early to see Kirk off and I just felt like a vegetable all day. Not surprisingly, I was less than inspired to take a photo today and so I basically scanned around for ideas in Flickr that I could do, and did a crappy job of trying…

Day 246 – Attraction

246/365 (Sept 3, 2011) – We knew we’d go for a ride today, and I knew it would probably be a bit painful for me after yesterday, but the best way to power through stiffness is to work it out again…. and take a few Aleve pain pills. So we decided to shoot for the backroads to Hope and then…
