I wanted to let you know that some strange things are happening to my emails and/or e accounts??? not sure yet which it is..  I’m trying to solve these mysterious issues. Please be patient with me?. (oh where is I T mom when you need her?)… remember when the only way to get ahold of one another was to pick up the phone?? I mean the land line phone?? lol yes, showing my age a bit today.. but I’m surprisingly okay with it..

what a boring post this would be without an image… so I thought maybe I’d get you hungry for lunch and share an ongoing project with you..

I photographed this image of Chef Cyd Koehn’s delightful Asian inspired salad.. She is an awesome chef located in the Des Moines area. …  if you’re planning a gathering, large or small and looking for a healthy and delicious meal to serve your guests.. look no further… this is your girl.. www.cateringbycyd.com   bon appetit’ everyone!    …okay, back to my email saga…

Last Friday evening, my family and I had reservations at the  Americana Des Moines!! (website http://americanadsm.com/) and oh… my gosh.. my tastebuds are still jumping for joy!  We ordered tapas style and  added a few entrees to the mix.. oh and a huge pomegranite salad all to myself…  Everything was out of this world delicious!!  If you are looking for a special place to go this weekend or anytime, I highly recommend you check this place out… they are also open for lunch… Awesome!

…now since I am head over heels for salads… I just had to experiment by attempting to recreate this Americana fantasy on a plate.. I even candied my own walnuts… successfully!!  i know, lol ..  I would have to say Americana’s version of pomegranite salad was my favorite, but here’s how I gauge if a dressing is good or not..  fighting the urge to figure out how to get my face in the bowl to lick it clean once the last bite is gone… yay, mission accomplished.. lol..

As I walked up the path to the B home for our photo session, this gorgeous little one was standing in the picture window awaiting my arrival.. Can you imagine what I was thinking? Of Course!

Mountains of natural golden curls, a face reminiscent of a porcelain doll? Who needs a backdrop when you can fill a frame like this…
