I know it's been quiet around here, but it hasn't been for lack of thought. I have been busy, busy putting together a <a href="http://www.43rdphoto.com/" target="_blank">wedding photography website</a> for Stephen and myself, where I started blogging about wedding photography this week. I have known for a while that this blog isn't really what I want it to be. There has been no specific focus, just whatever it is I have shot--kids, food, places, the mundane. But, one thing that has come from this blogging experience is that I happened to try on a hat that I really enjoy-- food blogging!<br />

It's funny to me that a little over two years out of school and my two main photography focuses, weddings and food, are types of photography I didn't even consider an option then. We definitely didn't discuss wedding photography in the journalism department, and when we had a guest food photographer I was mildly but not overly enthused. I knew I wouldn't be the kind of news photographer that my courses were preparing me for, but nothing else stuck in my mind as a possibility. I was told enough times in classes that hardly anyone kept a staff photographer anymore and that jobs were scarce. I figured I would just work and figure out what I wanted to do.<br />
<br />
Through the discovery of blogs, starting with wedding blogs and creeping over to the infinite black hole that is food blogs, I found myself thinking, <i>"I could do this."</i> And then <i>could </i>turned into <i>want</i>. So, moving forward, you will find me in two blogging venues: at 43rd Ave. Photography on Mondays and at my new blog, to be titled Salt v. Sweet, on Wednesdays. Thank you to everyone who read this blog. And I hope you will join me at 43rd Ave. when the time comes for you, and at Salt v. Sweet when you get hungry. I'm working on the new blog now and hope to have it up by the end of this year, depending on how fast these months go, which is usually quite fast. I will let everyone know when the new blog is up! Thanks!<br />

If you made it this far and still don't know what the pancakes have to do with anything, well, they don't. They are just strategically placed pictures to break up the text-heavy post.

I bookmarked <a href="http://orangette.blogspot.com/2012/05/you-know-me-well.html" target="_blank">this recipe</a> from <a href="http://www.orangette.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Orangette </a>a while back but for some reason always made something else instead. These things are delicious, way more delectable than they are attractive, and fairly easy to make. In fact, I made adjustments to the recipe according to what I had and what I like, ergo walnuts over pecans, and they were still fantastic. I had a nice dark chocolate bar on hand, so I used that and I didn't add all the honey that was called for because it sounded too sweet to my teeth. Whether you follow the recipe or use it as a jumping off point, I hardly think you would be disappointed.<br />

Never mind the odd <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118655/" target="_blank">austin powers</a> reference, there's nothing either one of us can do about it now. We used the berries we picked to try out <a href="http://alwayswithbutter.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Always With Butter's</a> <a href="http://alwayswithbutter.blogspot.com/2011/10/blueberry-dutch-baby.html" target="_blank">blueberry dutch baby</a> recipe, which I bookmarked a few months ago. Our pan was a little too small for the recipe, but while it did not turn out to be as attractive as hers, it still passed the taste test. I liked it with a little drizzle of good maple syrup as it's not as sweet as it looks. Glad we caught the last of the decent booberies.<br />

If you have never been to Lake Michigan, pictures cannot do justice to how mighty this looks in person. I look at it and can't believe it's not ocean because that's the only thing I can compare it with. Vast is an understatement. This day was the windiest I have ever seen it there. The sand hurled at my exposed skin, pins and needles all over. I had so much sand in my hair days it was <i>three days </i>until I could scratch my head without feeling and hearing the tiny rocks. We had a glorious swim in the windy waves and picnicked on sandwiches, pumpkin and carrot bread and cheese with crackers. Then we stopped off at <a href="http://www.grocersdaughter.com/" target="_blank">grocer's daughter</a> for some delectable <a href="http://www.grocersdaughter.com/?wpsc-product=elara-bar" target="_blank">chocolate bars</a> and <a href="http://www.grocersdaughter.com/?page_id=339" target="_blank">truffles</a> on our way home. <br />

My grandma is very devoted to taking the very best care of the pups and she takes them on walks through the woods daily. My grandma is in charge of driving, and Daisy is in charge of making sure everyone stays together and otherwise being the bossiest little dog possible. <br />

My grandma casually mentioned that she had gone blueberry picking in an email and I instantly knew that was something I wanted to do on my trip. It was a very close call as the season was drawing to a close and many of the bushes at had been picked over, but we each picked a substantial amount of berries. As soon as we got to our designated rows, she took off. I seriously had to marco, polo her to figure out where the hell she was. I thought she was avoiding the inevitable photo opt, but she said she has some kind of food harvesting in her blood and just goes crazy-- I think it was both. Good thing I'm nimble enough myself.<br />

My time spent in Michigan this summer felt like no other trip before it; I felt a sense of connection with the place for the first time. It felt like somewhere I could relax and appreciate the simplest of things-- the wind in my hair, farm stand hopping, sitting on the deck listening to bugs talk.<br />
<br />
I have a hard time relaxing, especially at home in the same environment that fills me with constant worry about what will come next. In TC, I am not the expert on the fastest way of getting somewhere, and it didn't concern me. This is what my first day of a much-needed vacation looked like. More to come. <br />

Here are my favorite shots from a session I did in Michigan with Moses and Meredith. They make look <a href="http://cigarboxqueen.blogspot.com/2011/09/hello-and-happy-hump-day-here-are-some.html" target="_blank">familiar</a> as I did a session with them a year ago. Moses was ready to go as soon as he saw my big camera<br />
and Meredith was just as sweet as could be. Thank you for the great shoot!<br />

Why, hello. Today is the first day I have been able to sit down at my desk and roll up my sleeves in what feels like too long. I took a trip to Michigan and promised myself I would relax and not worry about blogging, planning, problem-solving or any number of logistical photography issues. Of course, taking photos was not included in the ban, so I have a ton of photos to get through that I will be sharing soon.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I felt the beginning of fall in the too cool evening breeze as it hit me. After spending a week full of swimming, farm stand heirloom tomatoes and warm nights on the lake I can honestly say, I'm just not that into it.

Tomatoes, my second favorite food. One day when I have a backyard I hope to grow some of my own. I say hope mostly because I'm not great at keeping plants alive; I have killed a cactus or three. I'm thinking tomatoes and some other sturdy and relatively independent fruits and vegetables. Any suggestions?<br />
<br />
What's my <i>favorite</i> food you ask? You must not know me very well. My favorite food is of course cheese, the greatest animal by-product in existence. If you didn't know that, congratulations, you have done an excellent job and tuning me out for however long we have known each other. I applaud your selective hearing abilities.<br />
<br />
I made a couple recipes this weekend that I'm excited to share with you <i>and</i> on Friday I leave for Traverse City, Michigan. Cherry capital of the world, people. The world. And they also have that big ass lake. No big deal.<br />

This weekend I went to the gravenstein apple fair with Janet in hot-as-blazes Sebastopol. I wasn't able to watch the whole pie eating contest because everyone looked like they were about to blow chunks and I'm a sympathetic puker, but I'm pretty sure America won. Check out my new friends down below. Happy Monday!<br />

I tried out this cherry tomato, <a href="http://whiteonricecouple.com/recipes/tomato-bacon-pizza/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+worc+%28White+on+Rice+Couple+-+Full+Feed%29&utm_content=Google+Reader" target="_blank">bacon and blue cheese pizza</a> from <a href="http://whiteonricecouple.com/" target="_blank">White On Rice Couple</a> and it was super tasty! Of course, no cooking adventure story is complete without me having a blonde moment. This time, I beautifully decorated <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(probably not the best word choice for pizza-making)</span></i> the pizza. On the counter. And then realized I couldn't move it. Then I stared at it to see if I will it to move. Nope, no super powers. Then Stephen suggested we fold it, pick it up and unfold it, which worked pretty well but ruined it looks. So I gave it a face lift and put it in the oven. Still tasted great.<br />

I tried out this <a href="http://www.loveandlemons.com/2012/07/19/grilled-peach-salad/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=grilled-peach-salad" target="_blank">grilled peach salad with mint and basil pesto</a> from <a href="http://www.loveandlemons.com/" target="_blank">Love & Lemons</a> and it was super tasty. Just don't be a total ding-dong like me and forget to add the pesto, scarf down the salad and then realize your mistake hours later. The pesto was super tasty so I ended up using it for pasta, but I was still disappointed I didn't get to eat it with the salad. I even sat there eating the salad thinking, "I feel like if there was one more element this would be even better!" <i>DUH,</i> Nicole, that's because it is in fact missing <i>one</i> thing. I digress.<br />

I had no idea what was going on most of the time or what people were saying, but there were lots of pretty colors. I kid, it was a beautiful ceremony and like nothing I have ever seen before. I don't have any pictures of the ceremony because I was in it and that would have been super awkward of me, but I did sneak some in before and after. Congratulations again to Mandeep and Michael!<br />

I have so many pictures to share from Mandeep's multiple-day wedding! If you keep up with me on Instagram you may have already seen the picture of her mehndi taken right after it was done. These were taken the next day before a night full of traditions I can barely list, let alone name. More to come!<br />

Almost a year later, I got to take some more photos of <a href="http://cigarboxqueen.blogspot.com/2011/07/day-four-something-green.html" target="_blank">this guy</a>. He still hasn't had any of his teeth come in, but that definitely doesn't stop him from smiling! Love this little guy.<br />

As promised, here is the engagement shoot we did in Calistoga at <a href="http://castellodiamorosa.ewinerysolutions.com//index.cfm" target="_blank">Castello di Amorosa</a> with Stefanie and John. It was such a fun shoot, if only we could have dialed back the heat a bit it would have been perfect. John kept Stefanie smiling and laughing the whole time, which you will see below. Thank you guys for the great shoot and best of luck with everything! As you may have noticed from the watermark, we have something new in the works. More to come :)<br />

As promised in last week's <a href="http://cigarboxqueen.blogspot.com/2012/06/lemon-bars-crowd-favorite.html" target="_blank">post</a>, here are some photos of a coconut red lentil soup recipe that I bookmarked a while ago from <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/" target="_blank">101 Cookbooks</a> and finally made. I know soup may be the last thing on your mind, but if your stomach ignores the seasons as mine does this is a pretty easy and really tasty soup. I used green split peas instead of yellow split peas because that's what I had. I honestly have no idea if there is a difference in taste but I can tell you that it did not ruin the end result. Excited to share photos from last weekend's engagement session later this week!<br />

I was taking some photos of a bulb the other day when I remembered a <a href="http://cigarboxqueen.blogspot.com/2011/06/stinkin-rose.html" target="_blank">post</a> from about a year ago where I proclaimed my love for garlic. It still lives on. Raw, roasted, sauteed; as long as you don't burn it you really can't go wrong. Just a short one today, so happy hump day! <br />

Hello! I had a blast this weekend shooting these lemon bars, a soup from <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/" target="_blank">Heidi</a> and an engagement session at a <a href="http://castellodiamorosa.ewinerysolutions.com//index.cfm" target="_blank">castle</a> in Napa! If you think I'm crazy for baking and making soup in June, you are obviously not familiar with my neighborhood. June is a complete tossup--some days are clear though cool and others are filled with low, rolling fog. This was not the case on Saturday in Napa where it was a generous 107 degrees when we arrived a little before 3. We considered ourselves lucky that it cooled off a couple degrees by the time the lovely couple arrived so they would not melt away before our lenses. More on that later.<br />

My mom used to make these lemon bars and I honestly never thought much
of them even though I knew people loved them. It's been years since I've
had them and I like them much more now, though they still are not my
favorite. When I think dessert, I think chocolate; a good combination of
salty and sweet. I made two batches, because I thought I messed up the
first and didn't have time to photograph them anyways. The first was a
big hit at my aunt's house and the second batch managed to <i>mysteriously</i> disappear from my kitchen in large chunks. People love these things. <br />

It seems like there's always one thing or another holding us back from what we say we will do: time. We don't have the time to work out, eat healthy, cook our own meals, or actually <i>call</i> someone on the phone. But we will never have that time we think we will have after [insert excuse] is over. When I was in school I thought that after graduation I would have so much more time because I wouldn't have classes and journalism assignments at random times of the day. Then I started working full time; not only did I not have the time I thought I would have, I was exhausted when I wasn't at work. Mind you, I sit at a desk all damn day.<br />
<br />
I started this blog after much procrastination saying I was waiting until I "had more time." A year ago I sat staring at my first post, palms sweating at the anticipation of the first time I would click "publish." I didn't want to publish anything until I had what all the blogs I liked had. I wanted to be interesting, funny and relevant. I wanted to have a style and a voice. And, yeah, a few followers. But then I realized that the other blog writers had a major advantage over me: time. The time they spent thinking, writing and <i>actually</i> blogging trumped my worried obsession and lack of action. So I hit publish knowing that, much like photography, I would inevitably improve just by doing.<br />
<br />
This photo may seem unrelated; Vegas is kind of the opposite of serious realizations about life. I took this photo last weekend from the balcony of our suite at The Cosmopolitan where we were having a bachelorette party for one of my best friends. This trip <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(and my subsequent recovery)</span></i> is why, if you asked me, I have not had a chance to post. And yes, I am totally aware of the hypocrisy.<br />

I have been keeping this chocolate bundt cake in mind ever since I saw it on <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/" target="_blank">101 Cookbooks</a>, though I used a tube pan since I don't have a bundt pan. Her <a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/archives/chocolate-bundt-cake-recipe.html" target="_blank">pictures</a> of the cake made me feel like I was there, but sadly when I reached for a piece I only smudged my computer screen. I'm not really a fan of boozy desserts so I was slightly nervous about this cake, especially after cooking down the beer and tasting how potent it was. However, I was happy to taste that the final product is not boozy at all but very flavorful! Heidi's recipes never fail. Happy Memorial Day and I hope you are enjoying your long weekend!<br />

Teri's son, Michael, recently graduated from the maritime academy and her husband just turned 60, so she wanted to mark the milestones with a family portrait session. Tony's birthday was actually on the day of the shoot and he was just so excited to have portraits taken, it was great! Unfortunately, one of their sons missed out on the action this time, but there's always next time. Thanks for the great shoot, you guys!<br />
