It’s our grocery shopping day 😉
Bought these portabella mushroom caps for grilling and took few pictures of portabella gills this afternoon. Used Nikkor 60mm macro to capture these. I really like the way these turned out – these gills looks like soft pillows 😉
Recently purchased soft Panda licorice from Trader Joes. Unlike the mainstream Twizzler, these are soft, made of real licorice root juice and sweetened using molasses (yay no HFCS). Anyway – the very first time my 2 year old boy tried, it was rejected immediately without further consumption. Surly it’s an acquired taste and I don’t blame him.
Then past Sunday, he was standing by the pantry, pointing at the licorice box and was wanting to have some – he sure does have a sweet tooth (I guess it’s in the gene). Few minutes later, he comes back and tells me – “I like Panda. Give me Panda!”. May be I should send him over to China 🙂
Here is a picture of Iris (again) which is just about ready to bloom.
I was pleasantly surprised to see Iris bouquet at Costco today 😉 I love taking floral pictures and bought a bouquet this evening.
Contrary to yesterday’s post, today’s photo post is not a cheerful/colorful one.
Did some experimentation with lighting this evening to capture this silhouette of netting on the screen door. Focused the camera at the netting towards the bright clouds/sky. Used manual mode and slightly overexposed to wash out netting that were out of focus. As I used 60mm macro with shallow depth of field, all the netting towards the far right and left appears almost washed out.
Later used Adobe RAW to add contrast. I kind of like it 😉
It was rather a cloudy, gloomy day this evening and I was looking for a colorful subject for today’s post. Rummaging our pantry, I found this box of dyed cheerios (a.k.a Fruit Loops) – we are not big fan of cereal fortified with HFCS at our house 😉
Anyway, stacked these up and took the picture with 1sec exposure. And for the backdrop used the cereal box – nice bokeh here 😉
We had a chance to try out Chicken Noodle Soup recipe from ‘The Pioneer Woman’ blog today.
Turned out really good. But I have to admit, it took about 4+ hours from start to finish and we have about 15+ servings of soup in the freezer 😉
Will definitely try this again…
Upon returning from picking up our mail this evening, I noticed that the Daffodils have started to germinate.
Definitely seems like a sign of spring 😉
