Day 233 #Project365

233-365 veg.jpg

Minestrone soup is what we always make whenever I feel that my family and I are in desperate need of a major veggie boost. The cabbage and spinach here were the last greeneries to swim in the big soup pot standing just a bit further back. This soup consists of so many veggies and all other goodies that not only it tastes yummy and oh so super healthy, it also ‘smells’ healthy. It’s a perfect dish to help my kids’ recovery from a really really nasty cold virus that’s been going around here. Have you had your veggie boost today?

Day 183 #Project365

183-365 meat.jpg

Probably I should have come up with a more ‘inspirational’ shot for today’s photo as today marked HALF WAY of the project 365(+1), and not coincidentally, half way through the year as well since I started this project on the 1st of January. I have patted my back for coming this far, and still a bit surprised to find myself still exciting to continue on until the end of the year.

I’ve had my ups and downs producing one photo a day every day but I’m really happy with what I have done so far. I have learned a lot about photography, about myself, and really grateful with the support that people have given me up to this moment. I find this project very rewarding for myself personally as I enjoyed my ‘me time’ (that was required by this project) immensely. It’s so easy to lose myself completely in the big and rapid current that is living a family life with two young kids. This project allowed me to stop and block time for myself. It may not seem like much to other people, but I really treasure this ‘filling my cup’ time. It’s like a thing that nourishes your soul. I’m at my happiest when I am being creative, and this project 365(+1) has given me a small dose of it every single day.

Happy half way year! I will raise my wine glass (to accompany Sunday meat dinner) to another 183 days filled with happiness in big or small doses…

lunch prep

I love to cook and bake, and always want to take more photos while I’m in the kitchen but I find it too cumbersome to keep my hands clean to touch the camera in between the process. Because that means I have to wash hands so many times, and kinda ruining my pace in the kitchen.

This photo was taken during my Christmas lunch preparation, I was making some Spanish meatballs that day. There they were before I baked them. The tin bucket in the background was the citronella candle I used to keep away the flies. An essential element to survive summer entertaining in Australia.
