Made from Retro Mama's elephant softie pattern with some Toy Poodle fat quarter fabrics in my stash.
..from start to finish.
I'd already got bored and missed the inbound working so was all set for the outbound one later in the afternoon. With the light rapidly fading, I waited...and waited and waited.... Then just as I heard the warning bells on the level crossing down the line, I remembered I needed / wanted to switch to continuous shooting; this I did, with frozen hands inside woolly gloves. The train thundered past but my camera would not take a picture, despite my jabbing the shutter release button furiously. Then, just as the last wagons were going round the corner it took one. Stupid Boy (in the words of Captain Mainwaring)! I'd selected the self timer at 10 seconds rather than lo-speed continuous! A salutary lesson - get all your settings changed in good time and then check them!

This recipe and more on my blog Girl Interrupted Eating - <http://girlinterruptedeating.wordpress.com/2008/01/02/stuffed-cabbage-rolls/
I stuffed these mushrooms with either Asiago, Bleu, Gogonzola or Feta cheese. Then I baked them. They were part of our New Year's Eve buffet we serve traditionally every year. My mother began the tradition when I was a child and over the years we have added many tasty tidbits to our buffet.

SMASH! Droppin' Stuff, 2008
The Custodians of Destruction - Toronto, Canada
Performance Art, Multimedia Installation
Celebrate the transcience of Stuff. Treasured possessions and household objects get a moment in the spotlight before meeting their demise. Stuff is dropped from above and smashed in this intense ritual of destruction, with dramatic soundscapes and live projectio. ;Humans create a lot of Stuff, all of which inevitably breaks down or wears out. When that happens, the Stuff gets put outside with the trash for someone else to take away. But not tonight. On October 4, 2008, these objects will be given a final farewell and then meet a glorious, cataclysmic end.
SMASH! Droppin' Stuff will take place in twelve installments over the course of the night, with video replay running in between shows. Each show will feature several objects, each one introduced by an emcee and dropped to musical accompaniment. Live video feed of each object will be projected on the wall for close-up action shots. Come for a whole show and participate in the increasingly intensifying ritual, then stay for slow motion replays afterwards.
It's all the glamour of a public art event combined with the raw power of dropping stuff from great heights. Come celebrate the beauty of everyday objects, the inevitablility of destruction, and the glory of finality.
