Week 24: sunrise, mason jars and birthday cake

June 23, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 2 Comments

Had a few funny moments this week. About lost my mind in Sam's Club over a strategically placed sticker on a case of mason jars. I couldn't help but wonder if the inventory worker who pasted the stickers didn't have the soul of an adolescent boy... like me. It was good that I was shopping … Continue reading Week 24: sunrise, mason jars and birthday cake

Week 23: atmospherical phenomenon

June 16, 2012January 8, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

Looking back over my previous 365Project posts, it's clear that if it weren't for food, our pets and atmospherical phenomenon I would have failed at this undertaking weeks ago. Maybe I should once again attempt weekly themes, just to change things up a bit. The reflection photo was featured on "Fading away." That delicious looking … Continue reading Week 23: atmospherical phenomenon

A cornucopia of corn

May 31, 2012April 12, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 12 Comments

When I began sorting through all the food in my freezer, in preparation of the coming hurricane season, I found - much to my dismay - an overabundance of corn, both in cut and cob form. *note to self: do not buy any corn for at least 12 months. I loathe to throw it out, … Continue reading A cornucopia of corn

Take-out rice pudding

April 17, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 7 Comments

When I was growing up, my mother was a pro at re-purposing leftovers. Extra meatloaf became sandwiches (still a favorite), cold mashed potatoes and cracker crumbs made potato cakes the next day, excess pie crust was turned into cinnamon rolls... and of course, when there was leftover rice, it was made into rice pudding. In … Continue reading Take-out rice pudding

Stone soup

January 25, 2012January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 11 Comments

"You have less than two dollars and no access to more money. Begging is illegal and the police are vigilant. How do you get food?" Professor Oliver walked around the lecture hall passing out one dollar bills. Frantic hands went up, questions thrown out in rapid-fire succession. Oliver held up an unconcerned hand, waiting for … Continue reading Stone soup

One lump or two?

December 12, 2011January 6, 2015 ~ Tara R. ~ 5 Comments

I thought this prompt would be a stumper. The only thing I could initially come up with for "lumpy" was my Muffin Top. The chances of me posting a photo of that? Yeah, not gonna happen. Then, this morning in anticipation of my daughter's visit home during her Christmas Break from school, I made cookies... and … Continue reading One lump or two?
