A busy week
So, I have a short time I barely lunched and when i lunch in these day is to eat something light as a salad with fresh and juicy grapefruits and red onions. A nice choice to recompose energies and moving forward .

Organizing
Finally I have no people working here, at home, the painters were the last to left out, and all the people who worked on the remolding ,all gone. At last, I have my house back. Despite the setbacks, delays and frustrations, we are very happy with the result. Our home has been very clear, bright, with a great sunlight and also very functional, just what we wanted

New Finds
This week I went to shop, I found interesting stuffs. Some of them I really need but the two others, well, pure impulse.
One of this was this kitchen candle scent. And it really works out. After dinner I burn it and all food smells are gone. I dislike kitchen candles with pies, vanilla or fruits scents. But this we really enjoy it, often borrow refreshing aromas from fresh herbs to our kitchen
One important advice; be careful with the scent that you choose for burn during a dinner
Vanilla or sweet scents don’t combine with fish or scallops. So if you don’t insist on suffocate the air and your guest as well use unscented or smooth scented candles.
½ cup pomegranate seeds blended with cold water (straining)
Mix all ingredients and serve on the rocks (add sugar if you like)

A good idea
Meanwhile my salted cod fish is desalted in water. (A wonderful and delicious recipe is coming soon) I look at the naked wall in front of my seat in kitchen and I had a wonderful and saving idea.
In guest room I have two old pinus bookshelves. So, if I turn the bookshelves into a display cabinet?
They only need a new painting and ...”viola”.
Introducing my new glasses display ….. It was a cheaper solution, isn’t it?

Remolding kitchen and the last risotto
I made this risotto last Sunday, the last day that my kitchen seems like a kitchen.
The good new was that my brand new cooker arrives, Always is the same thing, when you need desperately, the store usually delivery two weeks later, but, when you don’t …in the same day you have in home
My kitchen is a mess and after three days without internet and time, I will show you how looks my kitchen now and the risotto that I promise post the recipe soon16 Feb 2008

A good and Happy new
Well, I want to share with you a good and happy new I won the January DMBLGIT contest in originality category hosted by The food traveller I am so proud, because I started to take food photos a lees than a year
As well I work whit advertising art direction and made a lot of food TV commercials I never take a photo inside the set. I just watch the photographer I have basic knowledge about light and perspective that I learn in the university. I am a good observant , I try to recreate some techniques ,sometimes I feel that I am able , sometimes no, but I always try to do my best.
I like to take pictures in different angles and creative shapes trying to stay out of the common places that I saw in food photos, but I never miss my focus, well I try, that is food
I want to thanks all encouraging comment and visit, mainly to Nieves and Maryanne
And congrats to all winners of the month
The winner photo, my saucepan's glass spoon with a cherry
