January 2009 EatSavvy: Commercial Shoot

Filed under: Children,Commercial,Food — Holly @ 4:36 pm

Another delicious EatSavvy shoot, with a bit of a (very pleasant!) surprise for me!

I have always wanted to like grapefruit, as I have always heard/read how nutritious it is for you. But I have always found it to be too bitter, and with an over powering taste (especially in a fruit salad). So I was very pleasantly surprised to find how much I enjoyed it in this month’s Red Grapefruit and Avocado Salad, I even went out grocery shopping the next day so I could prepare it at home for myself!

It turns out that the part I don’t like is the pith (membrane) part of the grapefruit. That is the part that is especially bitter/sour. The red grapefuit flesh itself is not bitter at all! So the trick is to cut away the flesh of the grapefruit from the bitter/sour pith, as shown in the following two images:

At the end of the shoot we all enjoyed the Dinner Party main course, Roasted Tomato and Sausage Linguini, it was delicious!

And just for fun I thought I’d upload a photo I took today, before we took down all the Christmas lights.

Well! Three blog posts in one day! I feel like I’ve accomplished something today now! 🙂

Horses: Sunnybrook Stables, Toronto

Filed under: Animals,Out & About,The Natural World — Holly @ 5:13 pm

A friend and I went to Sunnybrook Stables, here in Toronto, the other day to capture some horse photos. (Something I’ve been wanting to do for a while now!) We were lucky enough to run into an owner of one of the horses who invited us into the stable to take some photographs. Thanks Cindy!

Here are a few from the afternoon:

Christmas 2008

Filed under: Blog,Children,Life — Holly @ 4:48 pm

I have to admit I actually took a break this holiday season, staying away from the computer as much as possible. But now that my holiday is coming to a close I thought I should post some shots from the holiday season.

Here’s a shot of the holiday baking I did this season:
