I’ve been trying to think of easy and quick ways to add excitement to dishes, so here is what I conjured up last night. The base of the mix is left over carrots, cauliflower, and yellow squash mixed with some fresh frozen green beans (does that make sense? fresh frozen?). So that looked really boring and plain, so I chopped up a handful of Marcona almonds (they’re softer than the typical almonds, and I think they taste fabulous) and tossed those in.

Voila

I think I need to work on better presentation.

How silly of me to have forgotten to introduce myself. You know my bed more than you know me. Oh joy. So my name is Mateo. Hi. I’m no good with introductions so maybe you can learn about me through my posts. So um, I’ll be eighteen in a week and a half, and with that I’ll be allowed to smoke, vote, play in the lottery, move out, et cetera… You know, all the things I will definitely be getting into. I live somewhere in or around Chicago, Illinois, USA. It’s an alright place but I want to leave as soon as I can. Well actually I can leave now if I really wanted to but I wouldn’t get very far in life.

I have created this blog in order to share photos, and things associated with photos. I might throw in life changing moments here and there, but this will mostly document what I do in my spare time. (which I have quite too much of as it is) Oh yes, there is another reason for creating this , it gives me something to do. So I hope people will read it and enjoy it. I take photos of practically everything, I won’t say if I plan to post more about a certain topic over another, because I’m just not sure at this point.

My website is www.sphiorx.net, it’s pretty basic right now. I use it to showcase some of my graphics and photography work. Eventually I’ll find some new things to add to it, but for now I’m going to focus on this blog. in the midst; I call it that because my life is in the midst. I’m beginning to move on to another chapter of my life, and henceforth I want to document it.

The look of this blog will be changing over the next few days/weeks, as I am deciding how I really want it to look, so bear with me.

Bed making is a process that we humans have been equipped for for well, eons. So you ask, how could something so simple and boring be fun? I will answer you with this. You ask, what is this? This, my friend, is a quilt. With the look of dark, dark chocolate, and the feel of silk, there is only one material that can achieve this phenomena. By speech of the gods, this material has appeared on my bed, this material called polyester silk. In Wendeng City China, this quilt was made to last. (unlike the last, which is stringy) Thanks to Shandong Yunlong Embroidery Co LDT and a local department store.

Behold.

 

The finished product/six pillows.

 

As you can see, my bed is food coloured. I have a graham cracker duvet cover, a dark chocolate quilt, milk chocolate pillows and striped pastry sheets. Striped pastry sheets are also a product of a recent shopping endeavor. Egyptian cotton, oh yes. The previous sheet set was the colour of the milk chocolate two pillows, though it had succumbed to the queen of wash. It faded, with the addition of orange blotches, as if bleach had touched their sacred threads, and tore away their precious colour. I will forever mourn this loss. Notice the wrinkled pillow, thanks to a little spider that fell from the sky. I took a photo before disarming the beast, but alas I had focused more on the threads than the beast itself.

 

It’s called the thread count game, because you can never trust what the package says.

 

The gap in front of the standard pillows to be filled at a later date. These things take time. And hey, you can’t rush perfection. Neither can I.
