Or is it simply? Crink eye
I experience just like the global is gambling a trick on me. From wherein I stand it appears extra like primo beach season. True, people are carrying jeans and little sweater-like things, Christmas music and flashing neon nativity scenes had been going strong considering the fact that, oh, I dunno, JULY, and I can’t find a seat at Starbucks.
But nothing approximately the weather inside the Philippines makes me feel adore it’s Christmastime. Nothing. There’s no longer even like, a stray orange leaf or whatever.
Bjork and I now and again create mini Minnesota winters with the air conditioning in our scrappy little office (you must see the curtains that Bjork offered). You recognize, the entire flip it to “max cool” and placed on a hoodie for a bit bit kinda aspect? And then whilst that gets vintage, I move bake something cause it feels like I’m sitting next to the crackling fireplace. That would possibly have something to do with THE ACTUAL FIRE that’s blazing away in the oven. I dunno, actual bloodless, real fire… it'd surely be the Christmas season in spite of everything.
I baked this gingerbread some years in the past for my coworkers. It become so yummy, and then I took not-very-excellent pix of it and notion they had been fantastic. I actually recall questioning that I mainly appreciated this one shot:
But I don’t surely like that shot anymore. Funny how matters can change.
Speaking of factors converting, I am first-rate excited because for the last few weeks (minus Virus Week) I’ve been in the system of making some additions and updates to my food pictures eBook, Tasty Food Photography. Yay!
To be a fact teller: I became form of not excited to start operating on it again.
But it’s been this kind of amusing system! I in no way may want to have imagined the kind of reaction that I’ve gotten from you, my readers, on how Tasty Food Photography has made this type of tremendous difference on your food images, which makes getting returned into it supermotivating. Thank you for being so encouraging!
Plus, it gives me an amazing excuse to go to The Coffee Bean every.Unmarried.Night time. And if I don’t appearance out the window, The Coffee Bean gives me the nice and cozy Christmas fuzzies somethin’ fierce. So it’s Christmas. Fine. I receive, and I’ll take the White Dream Mocha Thingie.
Know what else offers me warm Christmas fuzzies? Gingerbread. It’s so comfy. And is that lemon glaze quite or what? These make high-quality gifts, but if you can’t summon the electricity, I will just permit you to realize that they make best Christmastime breakfasts with a facet of chai tea latte. Just saying.
