Today's Joy Dare is to find 3 Gifts in the Kitchen.
Considering how much I love my kitchen
and being in it, this one's a breeze
and a perfect opportunity for a photo post! I couldn't stop at three...
 |
| Over-ripe bulk bananas on sale at the grocery store. In just a couple days they'll be transformed into tasty morsels of baked delight! |
 |
| The knives my dad made for me. Hand-crafted blades and handles, made with love and sharpened every time he comes to visit! |
 |
| Fruit. So simple, so healthy and so beautiful. I think a colorful fruit bowl is my favorite decorative addition for my kitchen. (And did you notice that rockin' tile behind it?!) |
 |
| Breaking into a fresh coconut. A first for us! |
 |
| The coconut water... |
 |
| The first impressions... She's a foodie in the making, always noticing the first tastes and the (in her words) ending taste. Two thumbs up from her, she'd like to try it in tea. |
 |
| First impression? Not so hot. She spit her mouthful back in the cup, much to her sister's dismay. |
 |
| Examining the freshly-opened meat. |
 |
| Dragon fruit! |
 |
| Dessert! Dragon fruit (kind of like kiwi), Star fruit (kind of like an Asian pear), and fresh coconut. A delightful adventure in texture and new flavor! |
 |
| Another treasure I keep in my kitchen. Somewhat faded by time, I think of the special flower-giver and maker when I look at them. |
 |
It's small, but I can feed a lot of people because of the love that has gone into it.
P.S. That jar of pre-made pasta sauce? I'm also counting it and the pasta beside it as gifts - they allowed me time to surf the net in my quest to capture the Aurora "on film." |
Can you find three gifts in your kitchen? I'd love to hear what they are!
Oooo, I like this post! Love the pictures, especially the one of the fruit.
ReplyDeleteMy kitchen gifts are people! 1. I came home from work to a little sweetheart nose-high to a pile of fresh chocolate chip cookies she'd made. 2. A hubby who helped clean up the mess she'd made! ;-) 3. The sweet teen had assembled some of the ingredients that went into the casserole I threw together at 6 p.m.
Great post Melanie. I don't think I've ever had any of the 3 fruits (well, I've had coconut, but not fresh like that)
ReplyDelete3 gifts in my kitchen??...
1. My large Cuisinart Kitchen mixer. I love it and it sure has been handy to have in the last several year.
2. A dinner that everyone seemed to like and I didn't hear a single complaint about. And that is very rare!
3. I see an empty glass plate. A plate that doesn't belong to me, but to a good friend of mine, who surprised me a while ago when she made me a large beautiful cake for my birthday.
Mine were rather silly. And I'm afraid I would have been spitting with daughter # 2
ReplyDeleteSavannah Smiles – best Girl Scout Cookie ever!
Roo, who comes running and leaps to the counter every time I turn the water on, so he can watch the running water (and Tigger who seems to be trying to figure out why it’s such a big deal)
Well stocked cabinets, fridge, and freezer – we may not eat exactly what we want but we will not starve anytime soon!
Tigger and Roo are my cats. :)
I loved this post as well. Mine were 1) making dinner for friends so they didn't have too. 2) chocolate chip cookies....yummy and 3) my kitchen itself. I love my kitchen!
