Self-Portrait Tuesday 11.20

We are cooking and cleaning. My self-portrait is more about my mom and me than me. I clean and she cooks. My T-day cooking only involves putting the marshmallows on the yams and making the brussel sprouts. My mom cooks in whatever she is wearing and always looks great while she does it. I have had on the same clothes for the last two days trying to clean the house for Thanksgiving. Go see what everyone else wearing.





And I am wearing cleaning clothes today ... Scooter helping me clean the house.

Self-Portrait Challenge 10.02

Don't hate me for I am about to tell you. I come home every night with some delicious meal ready on the stove top. Not thanks to my culinary skills, but my mom ... who tirelessly conjures up with new and different dishes to feed us.

My favorite is Mexican food, as a result, we get lots of it. Tonight was Tortilla soup and some other bean, cheese, chili casserole which was delicious.

This week, we have been glued to Ken Burn's The War series, so have been eating many meals in front of TV. Lots of times, I just eat standing up in the kitchen. Boorish, I know.

Some of my favorites memories concerning food are nights coming home from a date. All lights off except the stove light. And there, with a towel covering it, my plate full of great food. waiting for me!
