Spice it up.: Droplet

My new blog!

Hey friends,

Welcome to my new blog. This is intended for all varying types of foodies. The foodies who only eat at the best restaurants, the foodies that spend their days and nights cooking, and the foodies that order pizza every day. Yeah you. We all have one thing in common: our love for food. So fuck the whole I don't cook thing you have going- its not very pretty on you. Cooking is the new basketball. Its sexy, fun, and gets you smelly. So get your hands dirty and go for it. One idea I've been playing with is meals in 20 min - for the on the go college student or working mother. I mastered the art of 20 minute meals my senior year of college when I had exactly 20 min to cook.. and eat. Fun.

But the point is, anyone can cook. I'm sick of hearing my friends say they can't. All you have to do is take a bunch of foods you like, throw them in a pan with some oil, and go nuts. The rest of this blog follows that golden rule. Only in some more detail. But the rule persists- regardless of the ridiculous hilla- concoctions, the rule is, once again- take a bunch of foods you like and throw them together. Don't think. Just cook.

And never stop singing. Or dancing.

Enjoy.

Droplet

Worcester is one of the few places that actually looks more beautiful in the rain. I'm not sure why that is. Maybe it covers some of the shadiness of Worcester, maybe it has an antiquity feeling reminding us of olden times, or maybe its the way it glistens and reflects light throughout the city. Rain is not something I ever thought was particularly beautiful. The morning I shot this was a typical hangover morning at my residence. We were making our ritualistic coffee, when my roommate decided she wanted to watch the rain. I don't question a lot of things my roommates do, but suffice it to say I was perplexed. Remembering that rainy days are great ones for photography, I grabbed the camera. The street was beautiful- rain hitting the dynamic trees, mist painting white throughout, refreshing, renewing rain. I tried to capture the immensity of beauty, but decided that what I was trying to capture was too vast. Instead, I focused on as little as I could instead of as much. A single raindrop.
