I am the feast this kitchen was blessed to prepare
waiting for you to enter open mouthed in awe
in the mystery we've been given,
our holy feast.

Sooty is recovering in his side of the playpen, but Poppy is a bit confused by his strange smell after the vet. She is flipping between trying so snuggle up to him and growling and nipping. We're not quite sure what to do at the moment as she came to the vet when we collected him and and spent all last evening near him. They were only separated by a few feet in their night hutches to sleep last night.
He's taking it all very well tho and is such a brave little bunny :)
Legs & legs :) :) #dog #love #me #home

The challenge was to make a Twinchie (2" x 2") and attach a coordinating Inchie (1" x 1")! I made two sets of four for my partners.
It's been a long time since I've taken pictures. I tried this winter with all the snow but everything seems to be done before. Sometimes I feel photographs come to me, like it's just my point of view in that moment of time. They feel more personal which makes me feel more confident that I can take an original photograph.
I love home cooking and blogging about the recipes I try out in my own kitchen. To see the recipe with step-by-step pictures follow the link www.rkhomemaderecipes.com/5licious-almond-coconut-candies...
These are all photos I used on my blog so I apologize if there are duplicates already published and also for the really large watermarks :)
This photo was taken when mattomatto and I were back home in Japan last month. We miss Momo sooooo much :)
Playing around with mosaics... it didn't come out the way I wanted to but here it is. Anyway, it's something different.

Let's face it, we love reality TV shows. Whether it's watching shenanigans from the latest
When it comes to reality TV, HGTV has it perfected.
From shows like Property Brothers, Design on a Dime, or World's Most Extreme Homes -- none have captivated the attention of consumers like Fixer Upper.
Chip and Joanna Gaines are a slice right out of classic Americana.
Whether they're working on a project or horsing around, what's not to love about this couple?
So why is it that we're so obsessed with these kinds of reality shows?
Perhaps it because we want to see a bit of ourselves living vicariously through the heroes or heroines of our favorite HGTV shows.In an article on Country Living, this very topi is addressed:
Your favorite part of Fixer Upper might be the house hunt or the decorating, but over the years, HGTV has learned that what you really want to see is the entire renovation process. So, as opposed to shows like Gardening by the Yard, which just focused on landscaping, they've got shows like Property Brothers and Fixer Upper, which cover the whole spectrum of the home-buying process.
Diversifying their topics also puts them in the perfect position to roll with the punches of the real estate market. For example, when the 2008 housing bubble burst, fewer people were able to go out and buy a house, and were, instead, looking for ways to improve what they already had—on the cheap. So, those of us who aren't in the market for a new place can tune out the house-buying part and take inspiration from the reno.
HGTV's most important focus, though, is casting incredibly relatable and watchable hosts, like Chip and Joanna Gaines. And thanks to social media, we all truly feel like they're our friends: We see their kids grow up on Instagram, we're the first to hear about their new store openings on Facebook, and we get first-hand inspiration by seeing what Joanna pins on Pinterest.

I hit a rock dead center of a lightening bolt... Kind of. The best part is we both reacted like four year olds. #andthelightening? : @robmakestv (friendly chuckle by @matsumoto818 )

What?!? Fixer Upper Is Not The Most Popular HGTV Show?
It might be surprising, but fixer upper is not the most popular show on HGTV. What?!? My mind is blown... How could the Gaines' be bested? As Apartment Therapy columnist, Megan Johnson explains:
It may or may not come as a surprise, but HGTV’s “Flip or Flop” scored the number one slot. The program, which follows former spouses Tarek and Christina El Moussa as they purchase dilapidated properties, renovate them, and then sell them for big money. We’re guessing the show reels in viewers for a few reasons: Not only are the properties they purchase often absolutely horrifying, but the whole intrigue of their tumultuous divorce adds an entirely new dramatic element.
It seems that, we as consumers, love to watch the draft unfold as someone purchases a large ticket item. That is, of course, as long as we can do so from a safe distance and it's not our money being used.
"Real" Reality
It's hard to believe anyone would argue that most of the reality HGTV shows seem to defy the capabilities of even the most experienced general contractors.
Not every home project will have a "happily ever after" ending. In fact. most home projects can be downright frustrating.
In an interview to Kiplinger, HGTV, which produces several popular shows, including “House Hunters” and “Love It or List It,” had the following to say when asked about the behind-the-scenes quirks that aren’t disclosed to viewers:
5 Things Home Improvement Reality TV Shows Don’t Tell You
“Our goal is to respect the home-buying, selling or renovation process, while still creating fun and entertaining programming for viewers. When we’re telling a real estate or renovation story for television, we may abridge and adjust timelines to help manage production and time constraints. In some cases, a program is a competition series or a crazy experiment designed to play out the ‘what if’ fantasy of our viewers. Today’s viewers are savvier than ever and know that the development of an entertaining program does require the occasional use of a creative license.”
Conclusion
While there is certainly a place for entertainment TV, it's important to understand that most HGTV shows are intended for entertainment value. Rarely, could someone pull off the kinds of miracles.

When I moved into my dad's (then my sister's for dad moved to Oklahoma to be with his now lovely wife then fiancee) old home in either 2000 or 2001 this couch was a part of the deal of getting the old house. My dad had it in the living room. When my sister moved in a bit later I inherited the couch and put it in the Basement where my bedroom was at along with some other furniture that I have.
I have kept this couch in the den of our home for the past 4 years. I still hang on to it out of fear of leaving my house. I love my partner dearly but there are those times........... I guess it too should also be retired.
