Mixing Textures, Flavors and Temperatures

I found myself craving a melting pot of flavors and textures this morning. And with the windchill well below zero, I had all the time in the world to go a little crazy with both the food and the camera…

[I’m not too keen on these two pics, but my screen is still banged up and I can’t tell if they’re focused until they’re uploaded. Plus, they’re part of my ‘food story’….man….I really love playing with food.]

I know, I’ve been asked already…yes we eat our biggest meal in the mornings. We need the energy throughout the day. It never made any sense to me…to eat at 6 pm and then go to bed?!?!

If you get bored and maybe a winter storm is blocking your Direct TV signal (rolling eyes…we all know how often that happens), go play in the kitchen. There’s something about mixing flavors, textures and temps…….it’s bliss……
