the beginning

today is the beginning.......August 10, 2009

i’m finally motivated i’m finally feeling better than i have in months. *for one month i vow not to go out for any meals. and why do you ask well I now have 2 beautiful le creuset a absolutely gorgeous color..... caribbean.... ahh it reminds me of the ocean breeze. i’m the proud owner of a round french oven and a soup pot. i can hardly wait to make chicken with tarragon cream sauce. but tonight it will be a good old santa maria style bbq with tri-tip some roasted vegetables and a fantastic green salad. oh and lets not forget garlic cheese bread.

on the artistic side i’m just about finished ironing..... yes ironing some fabric so i can finish my table runners that i have been weaving. my next project will be tea towels. on the pottery side i plan to make bowls for the empty bowls function that will be in november 09 and get on with making some unique ceramic pieces i will update on the progress that i am making on my pieces.

how did this all come about well i must say i did see the movie julie & julia and was inspired to get on with my life. yes i am unemployed a very unemployed graphic artist i love my computer i love working in graphics programs but i suppose the time is not right. so i’ll cook, weave and throw pottery.

let my explain i made a promise to my husband that we would not go out in exchange for my lovely cookware.........hey i even brought out my expresso machine that has been put away for years so i can make my own decafe unsweetened soy latte’s.....yes soy and i used my french press coffee maker today for the first time and i must admit the coffee was wonderful full bodied and tasted and smelled out of this world the aroma was intoxicating. i love coffee yes it must be decafe but for me it’s about the taste not the effect that i receive.

how long will this last my guess is a good as yours

oh by the way nothing is set in stone so I was bad and went out for a burger you know the one with the crossed palm trees. but tomorrow is another day.........
