Onions and Sauce

I had the morning off last Friday. Not missing an opportunity to use my skills, Mom asked me to chop up some onions and celery for the spaghetti sauce she would make later that afternoon. And me, having a newfound love of chopping up vegetables since watching Rachael Ray agreed to do it for her. I tackled the onions first. I had to take a break four times. Ow! And putting a bowl of water nearby does not help (where did I hear that old wives tale? I probably heard a tip similar, couldn't remember it and put my own spin on it. A spin that didn't work...) My eyes just kept watering and stinging, I'd wiped them 3 times before I took this flattering and attractive picture of me. I'm sure if any of you have cut onions, you feel my pain. Know of a way to avoid this discomfort? Do share :)

And then the time when we got to mix everything together. I believe the recipe might be a little too much for the pot (See below). We got to eat the sauce of our labors on Sunday. Yum!

Boil boil, bubbalin' over

It Makes Me Laugh

A couple of other times when I was glad I had a camera:

I went to Wal*Mart the day the Emma Smith movie came out. Another movie also came out that day and was displayed next to it. Talk about your black and white! (I'm mostly shooting in the dark here, I've never seen "Sex in the City". I'm just guessing from the title).

It's too little to read, but at the bottom of the Babylon movie advertisement it says, "Sex in the City : Absolute Perfection". Ha

Another day I was walking on campus and this bike was parked outside the library. I wonder how they get to the top to ride it... I don't think I could do it. 

And this one, it's just funny

Loaded

Sometimes, I'm really glad that I have my powershot with me (Well, I ALWAYS have it with me, but charged batteries in the camera is another story). The day I was in the K-mart parking lot was one of those sometimes. 

The door looks like it's about to pop right off! There was barely a place for one person to be in the car with this load. And I think the lady who looked over at me and started walking over was that one person. And I tried so hard to be inconspicuous as a walked around the van taking pictures...

Aren't they cute?!

I did a quickie shoot of Ty's family after church. Here's a couple of my favorites.
