of my heart

Second chances make the world go round. For years I professed a hate for beets and asparagus.  I LOVE almost everything edible, but I had bad experiences with these two.  In hindsight, my asparagus experience had been of the gray canned variety, and my beets experience had been with the canned pickled variety as a child.  I was convinced a while ago to retry FRESH asparagus and now I am addicted.  I had a roasted beet and goat cheese salad in Arizona two years ago, and now I keep beets on hand at all times.  This next show’s deadline was originally January 10th, but it has been extended to February 12th.  Don’t miss your second chance…

I read alot of facebook posts slamming folks that post cell phone pics of their food.  Sorry, I do it too.  See my Cayman Islands lunch pictured left.  Be patient with the food-obsessed; we’re people too.  Our exaggerated sense of self-importance has us convinced that you will be so happy for us when you see our latest creation or out-to-eat treat.  I am certain there is a diagnosis out there that I haven’t heard of.  Be kind.  This next show might be willing to take some of those food pics off our hands, though.  Whatcha think?

These imaginative women taught me to dream and experiment. ‘I-mag-i-na-tion’ is your opportunity to imagine and create. Get outside the conventional with this one.
