P52 / 04 / travel

This weekend I had the opportunity to travel to Hannover, Germany with 9 other BFA staff members to attend the Association of German International Schools educators' conference. We took the train and spent about 7 hours traveling!

foody friday: wiener schnitzel

This week I whipped up some wiener schnitzel using a nifty little packet of seasoning that only cost about fifty cents! I'm sure there is a more "traditional" way of doing this, but I liked the ease of using the premade seasoning. I wasn't quite sure if I did it right, but when my friend Katrina (who grew up in Austria) came over and saw them she said they looked great. Yum!

This week's topic is Random. The collage I made sums up what was quite possibly the most random event of my week. Our staff office has two large windows that overlook a field and a small driveway. One afternoon I just happened to look up from my desk to see a group of students dressed in colorful wigs, capes, and oversized sunglasses running wildly towards Brandon, a teacher who was holding up a camera. The whole scene was quite entertaining but SO random. Turns out they were filming a commercial for an upcoming spirit day!

If I weren't relying solely on my webcam I would have much better pictures than this but a crappy picture is better than no picture at all, right?

P52 / 02 / breakfast

I wish I could say this was my typical morning meal, but unfortunately I am never up early enough to actually cook myself breakfast. Usually it involves yogurt and granola that I eat out of a coffee mug at school while gearing up for my first period class.

P52 / 01A / new

The first P52 theme of 2012 is NEW. This can be interpreted many different ways... yesterday I interpreted it literally with my brand new Ticket to Ride expansion pack, which I received from my grandma for Christmas. There's just something satisfying about breaking open the plastic wrapping and smelling the freshness of a brand new toy. Yes, I'm 25 years old and still playing with toys.

2012 Goal: Project 52

After a year of posting a daily picture, I confess: I'm tired!! I don't want to stop working on my photography, though, so this year I am scaling back a bit and have set my sights on a Project 52. This means I'll be posting on a weekly basis (52 weeks in a year) rather than daily. For this project, I will take pictures that reflect a given weekly theme. Due to the nature of this project, I am not requiring myself to post on a daily basis, nor will I be limiting myself to one picture a day. For the second reason, Double Feature Friday may be gone for awhile. In its place I will be introducing "Foody Friday" posts. By far, my most popular subject matter in 2011 seemed to be food, so this year I will be practicing foody photography and hopefully introducing you to some new European cuisine. I may even branch out and share recipes if the featured food was something I prepared myself!

And yes, I know "foody" should be spelled with an -ie.

So, if you're interested in playing along, feel free to leave a link in the comments section so I can find you and follow along with you, too.

I'm really excited for this project, so let the fun begin!

#364: got milk??

Today is the last post for 2011 (even though it's being posted in 2012!). I've known for awhile now that my numbering is screwed up because obviously this post should be titled #365. I went though every post and couldn't find my mistake, so just go with me on this one.

We bought all this cereal in one shopping trip. Don't judge, it was on sale!! I might smuggle some of it back into Germany...

Happy New Year!

#361: deja food

Spotted Salsa Verde flavor at Wal-Mart tonight... haven't seen these for sale in years!! Of course I had to buy some, and I'm pretty sure they changed the recipe...

Had my first McDonald's peppermint mocha today. The cup was happy to see me. (I know, you probably can't see the face, but it's there!!)
