Camera Gems
Like any typical food blogger, I devote much of my attention to my camera, specifically to the pictures it captures and contains; sorting through the day’s photos and selecting those of the best quality have become part of my evening routine. Every now and then, however, I’ll discover a few shots on my camera which I do not remember taking. Indeed, my friends and family often find it endlessly amusing to leave subtle messages in the form of photographs on my camera, knowing that I will soon discover it as I sit down to compose my next blog post. As of late, Seth has become quite fond of this type of shenanigan. Here are a few of the most recent “gems”
Do you ever find a few “surprise” shots on your camera?
Onto the remaining contents of my camera’s memory card…
Saturday
I can’t seem to find my beloved Rachel’s cottage cheese cups in the Durham area, so I attempted to make my own as part of my breakfast yesterday. Obviously, my salty tooth was beckoning.
For lunch, I temporarily reverted back to childhood and had a modified PB & honey sandwich, except I used organic PB, agave nectar, and raisins rather than the Skippy-honey combo from my childhood.
As the evening’s entertainment, Seth, his roommate, and I all headed out to The Blue Corn Cafe for a late dinner. As you may recall, the BCC is one of my favorite eateries in town, largely due to its extensive list of vegetarian options. This time I ordered the Black Bean Tortas, made with eggplant and various veggies, and served with mango-avocado salsa, rice, & plantain chips. As an added bonus, this dish was fully vegan, without any special ordering. While delicious, the tortas left me a little hungry afterward—this girl needs serious fuel these days.
Sunday
Remember that CoW sample that arrived last week? I put it to good use this morning by combining it with a unique fruit combo, banana-raspberry. It was a tasty duo, with a perfectly velvety consistency. Unfortunately, CoW is not vegan due to its inclusion of whey concentrate.
Lunch was a simple tofu stir-fry. I should make brown rice more often—so tasty, simple, and nutritious.
For dinner, Seth and I hit up the Great Hall. I made of my usual rainbow-tastic salad creations.
Alright off to watch the remainder of Life on the Discovery Channel. Ciao!

Hello and welcome! I have created this blog for people who love food, especially healthful, vegetarian food.
I have just graduated from Duke University with degrees in English and psychology. I plan to pursue a master's degree in nutrition starting in Fall 2010. Ideally, I would like to combine my love of food and the written word someday as a health writer.
sweet. that backdrop really brings out my eyes. just sweet.
lol. That’s awesome. I’m now a huge fan of Seth, he’s hilarious! My brother will never do that. He’s too shy and he knows everything in my camera will go online!
That backdrop really does bring out his eyes.
No smoothies? I know what that means…
that was sweet! I wish my hubby do something like that!
My friends and I make it a point to steal each others cameras and leave surprises for each other. There are many times where I have no idea who the picture is of
Matt will oftentimes leave picture surprises on my camera – most of them are unflattering pictures of me – candids when I tend to be making the most awful face…
Love that salad bar – I wish our cafeteria salad bar provided options like that!
Hehe…those pictures are great! Nobody gets their hands in mine but I often find random pictures that I don’t remember taking!

I love all of the colors in your meals! So many good nutrients
How aesome does the BCC look? Mango salsa, I’m in! I do often find some random pics on my camera
