Yesterday I found myself craving the opportunity to pick up my camera and be creative. So I grabbed my camera and my youngest son and set out to find some beautiful fall foliage worthy of a picture. But it's too late. I missed the peak of the fall colors already. I headed back home a little bit dejected and remembering all the work I had to do. That work included making chicken noodle soup since the kids and I have been sick for a week now.
Resigning myself to my house work for the day, I suddenly realized I didn't have to give up on my photos for the day just because I was cooking. One look at my beautifully roasted hens quickly inspired me to not only make the best chicken soup I could, but to also photograph the beautiful ingredients. So here you have it, two wonderfully roasted hens courtesy of my new convection oven that makes me oh-so-happy!
Some beautiful veggies sauteing in a pan waiting to be tossed into the stock pot with the chicken bones:
And my 4 year old son keeping a careful watch on everything in the pot. He anxiously stood there watching it cook for a while until I told him it had to cook for 4 hours. Then he abandoned his post.
At the end of the day, I remembered that I can enjoy taking pictures anywhere. And I also realized that I don't want it to be so long before I pick up my camera again. I truly enjoy taking pictures and I need to make time for it in my life.
That looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteI agree, keep picking up that camera and sharing :o)
Hope you all feel better soon!
