Wishes...Wishes...Wishes....

{via here::special thanx}

Hey Luv-lies,  have you ever found something that inspires you to want to walk around a space that is foreign to you?  This strawberry lusciousness takes me there!  Baking, cooking, just turning on an oven, though not completely foreign....it's definitely {mostly} un-traveled territory {did I admit that?}

I might not try this bit of heaven just yet.  Not being much of a baker, this might be a little much for this novice 'iron chef'.  Besides, living on the Atlantic coastal line, strawberries aren't quite in season.  The cost - as a result of  the very, very dry {and did I say inferno-like} summer and the fact that it is not 'strawberry season' - would probably be more than what I am willing to pay for 'off season' fruit.  Have to watch the budget...the holidays are nearing...

Another reason that I can only dream of this delectable infusion of mouth watering delight?  I kind of vowed that I would stop complaining about the extra excess weight that I've been carrying around for far too long.  I think that you would agree that, after twenty-something years, I can no longer blame my one and only child.  I'm weighing the possibility of keeping a journal of this seemingly never-ending  eighteen month trek...I'll keep you 'posted' on this...pun intended.  {I'm giving myself a year and a half for the inevitable slip ups.  Hey, a girl has to guarantee herself success!}.
  
....  I think that this meal will be much easier to prepare.  And  keep me on track toward that goal!


yummmmm....

Playing with Food...



Remember when you were younger and weren't allow to play with your food?
The mantra went something like this..."girl don't play in your food.
You better eat that...there's people starving in *{feel free to insert some third world country here}..."

Well, looking at these fun food works of art, I can't help but wonder how this culinary whittler
got away with the whole food playing thing.

...perhaps if I were allowed to play with my food back then....hmmmmmm
