Refuel anyone?

Well I am working till around 5pm today a 2 hr meeting is turning into 4 I am on a 30 minute break then back to the conference call. Eating goldfish, and drinking a diet pepsi…talk about refuel.

So today consists of a 2 1/2 hr meeting with my editor at 12pm, then off to pick out pretty plates for the photo-shoot next week, then possibly a delicious warm latte to top it off on this cold and rainy November day.  Photo From: http://danielhumphries.typepad.com/coffee/latte-art/ love the pics

I told you I would give you the salad dressing recipe!

WORDS FROM MY AUNT KATH:

You will need a food processor for this recipe

1 shallot

1 tsp dijon musard

little bit red wine vinegar( to your taste)

lemon ( juice of it)

olive oil

this is a good way to balance the acidity and sweetness of your dressing: 1 part vinegar, to 3 parts olive oil

Mix shallot, dijon mustard, and red wine vinegar together in food processor.

After its mixed add lemon juice to taste.

drizzle olive oil in the mixture about 2 tbsp. add more if needed

you can always add parsley, fresh thyme to the dressing too.

get creative!

Food shoot is coming soon!

Well the second food shoot is coming up in the second week of december. Excited that my art director/book designer can come down for it. I am also thankful my photographer is able to come down a day early to help plan out the shoot with me. This coming week is gonna be a roller coaster getting the groceries for the shoot, plateware etc. it’s all in a days work for a young author trying to make it in this crazy world.
