plum(b)ing the depths
Posted in Inspiration, Kitchen Inspirations, tagged creativity, food, fruit, humor, Inspiration, Photography, plums, procrastination on September 6, 2012| 3 Comments »
One morning I purchased a single plum. It was an impulse buy. I haven’t eaten plums in years but I thought I might use the fruit as inspiration. In the end, it was my antidote for mounting procrastination. You see, I had a project due soon. Amazing how strong the urge to take a long walk when you need to stay seated and finish a writing assignment. I couldn’t go for a walk but …
… I decided I could rise from my chair on occasion and take a photo of the plum. I did so throughout the afternoon. No fine art produced but the movement was a release of sorts.
When I finished the writing assignment, I ate the plum, a final dose of a sweet treat that helped me stay focused just enough. I think I might buy an apple today!
too pretty to eat?

That thought crossed my mind for a split second as I walked through the Copley Square Farmers Market this past Friday. The afternoon light was striking the fruits, vegetables and flowers in such a way that they become culinary art.
And there is no question that the vendors from the various farms know how to display their wares.
Though I could not pause to purchase anything it was a visual delight and welcome moment of calm to walk the square. I’m looking forward to next week.

plastic bag on the kitchen table

Only moments before the bag had held zucchini or scallions perhaps. Now it lay crumpled on the table fodder for my imagination as sunlight filled its cavities.
At first I thought of folds of cloth and crinkled skirts like women wore so long ago. But then as the rays of light shifted, I imagined glaciers and ice caves illuminated in rainbow colors throughout an arctic day.
The sun soon dipped behind a building and with it most of the light but just enough remained for one last shot that made me think of a cavern opening.
banana wishes

I think I like green eggs and ham more than I like bananas.
But according to the literature, a banana might be healthier.
And so, on occasion, a couple of bananas I do buy.
They are actually fun to photograph especially once their length is cut in half.
It’s the eating part that makes me pause and wrinkle my nose,
And secretly wish that the mouse in my house — I saw him last night —
Would eat the banana so that I wouldn’t have to at all.

the red plate special

A red plate at Target caught my eye and led to some culinary experiments with a new background color. Here are a couple initial shots. After playing with my food, I expect I’ll have to eat it. If you have any simple fresh corn and cold pasta recipes, please send ’em my way. 😉

Also known as last night’s dinner. It certainly helped to end my moody day on a bright and tasty note, thanks to that fellow in my life. He never writes a recipe down so we’ll never have this exact same dish again. FYI, it was served with steak (cooked with bacon, cuban oregano, and garlic), and sugar snap peas (barely warmed and still crisp) nestled on the side. Yep, culinary heaven. Being with this fellow – a science guy by day and gourmet chef by night – has certainly reinforced my philosophy to live … and savor … in the moment. Yet, I have to admit, I’m glad I snapped this photo to help resurrect the memories. 😉
