When I was peeling carrots for dinner the other night, I came across this nobbly fellow in my bag from the farmer’s market. I couldn’t resist snapping a photo …

So, what do you see?

Rainbow cupcakes.

’nuff said.

We are having a summer without air conditioning here. It’s not because of the mild weather though — it’s because I am trying to cut down on the electricity we use (summer is our peak usage time) and thus save money. It has the fringe benefits of also being a little kinder to the environment …

… And one that I hadn’t thought of before: we spend more time outside. When you take away the shock of cold air inside and hot air outside, the hot air is way more palatable. Who knew?

Hope you are enjoying your summer too!

Nope, I didn’t make this. Virtual Frolic made it as a special surprise for my birthday (which is later this week). The colors were so alluring and vibrant — it’s almost too pretty to eat! Flavored with lemon, it was both refreshing and satisfying. It made for a delish dessert after strawberry picking.

Mmm. Good cake.

(Want the recipe? Head over to Virtual Frolic’s blog and let her know! Hopefully she will post it soon.)

We gave Will a kid’s digital camera for Christmas last year. These are a few of his prized shots … It sure is interesting to see things from his point of view.

This photo cracks me up. Hope you enjoy it too.

Food tomorrow.
