Strawberry Season

Strawberry season reminds me of my grandmother Rosalie's strawberry rhubarb pie. She is a patient cook and a great crust maker. Sadly, she lives too far away for me to drop in on her kitchen with two quarts of fresh strawberries from up the road. 

Making pie crust intimidates me. I prefer to just splash a little cream in the bowl. We can't all be good at everything. And the strawberries don't mind one little bit.

At Least There's Lunch

Shooting Impossible Project film is work. Work I love. But work. Some days you can't win for losin' (as my grandmother Rosalie says). Today was one of those.

Fresh box of instant film. Great food for lunch. Beautiful antique dishes and blossoms composed for a still life. And you forget to install the filter - probably because you're hungry and wanting to tuck into that sushi. Over-exposed. So you plop the back-up filter in place. Then the camera decides it's hungry and starts eating the film. And it chews through the whole box. sigh.

At least there's lunch.
