Mexico & Me.

I bounced down to visit my friend Ms. Cinthya in Mexico in early March. It was my first bounce out of these lovely States since I actually started this blog is October '09. It was also the first time I learned what it means to take a vacation. It certainly wasn't easy for this city girl to lazily chill on a beach all day but I got into the swing of things by day two. Playa del Carmen is a super clean, beautiful, peaceful, barely Mexican town. It was a huge adjustment for me photographically. There was barely any dirt, or grit, or filth for me to capture. So I embraced my surroundings and decided it was okay to shoot pretty things. Shout out to Ms. Cinthya! Thanks for the great time. 


















Who know there was such a high demand for tea at the laundromat?

Zuke Girl!

I remember eating {and loving} a lot of zucchini growing up. We usually had it sauteed in some butter. It was heavenly. It's back in season now, so I decided to buy zucchini and carrots, then put my kitchen gadgets to work. 

I wanted to make several dishes using the vegetables in a similar fashion but with different flavor combinations. Take a goose, take a gander.
