Flowers and Gardens

Continuing to layer and starting to enjoy it more.

I love tulips! We went to OSH this weekend to buy tulips seeds and planted them. I never knew that their seeds looked like baby onions! Now, we just sit and wait. In four monthes, if everything goes well, we will have tulips to wake up to in the mornings~ ***fingers crossed***

On the verge of giving up…

Color blending has been kicking my butt….

Somehow it went from “need more water”, ” need more water”….to…”too much water!”, “everything smushed together”
I repeatedly missed the sweet pots!

What a mess!!
Plus, I have no patients for the colors to dry out.

What have I learned from this one?
Wait longer for the background to dry. It also need more water to start with.
I know the tress branshes are done totally wrong. BUt I don’t know how to fix it.

This one?
Wrong colors for all of the flowers!
Leave blanks for lights.
Doing something about those edges/better definitions for the pedals.

Julie and Julia

s3827329

如果不是真实的故事,我会担心导演太乐观,因为博客的成功来的太快太容易了,就算是在电影里。

  不过,既然是真实故事,我也只好承认,原来是我太悲观。

  

  电影之后查了下,发现Julie虽然有了新博客。不过原来在salon的博客还在。博客里面真的是全文字,没有图片的。

  

  里面有一些电影里面没拍进去的生活小记录。有一段是作为一个全职女性对某些人对heirloom tomato过度崇拜的谴责。我有一阵也特别迷信heirloom,不过一来价钱太昂贵,二来我家附近的farmer market 只有上午的。我上午不是上班(上班日),就是在睡觉或者赖床(休息日)。所以,最后还是依靠超市的西红柿过日子。

  

  可喜的是,有些超市也有了vine ripe tomato,吃起来也是汁液四溢。  

  Julia的老公是个好人。因此我更不忍心看到好人在晚年,因为不被付出一生心血的工作所珍惜的感叹,我这一辈子都是为了什么?

  所以,像Julia一样,去找,自己喜欢的事情。

为有好吃的咖喱饭而喜极而泣之夜晚

在这样一个秋冬交替的夜晚,在寻找压水仙的石头东跑西颠半个下午,回家继续折腾之后,坐下来,面前是这样一盘咖喱牛肉饭。我差点喜极而泣。 为了在家里也能吃到和curry house一样好吃的咖喱。甚至更好,因为有更多牛肉,还可以续盘。

最近又做了一次banana bread。这次改良了。 完全没有放butter。糖也只放了很少。(我看下次可以不放糖)。成分只是面粉香蕉黄瓜肉桂鸡蛋苏打和盐。变成可以放心吃的面包了。 如果下次再加点荞麦,简直可以算是健康面包了。口感也没有什么差别。
而新鲜出炉的味道仍然美妙。 smell, sign, devour!
