Tuesday Toast - Coffee Talk - FOOD PHOTO SHOOT ( + 60,000 Steem Power Goal Achieved )

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

Good morning and happy Tuesday again. Oh hey, and guess what? My 60,000 Steem Power goal, I finally reached it!

Tuesday Toast Coffee Break with Me (4).jpg

Today’s toast is like soooooo simple it hardly needs any explanation. I mean, I guess if you’ve never seen a pomegranate before (which I know a lot of you maybe haven’t) then maybe you’re a bit curious, but otherwise I’m pretty sure the rest is self-explanatory through the pictures. You know, that whole “1000 words” thing? Yeah.

So I was thinking, I really loved the idea of doing toast on Tuesdays when I started it earlier this year, and I still do, but these post are honestly more of just a little catch-up time with you guys. They’re perfect for reading with a big cup of coffee and your own breakfast toast.

Firstly, our house has quieted down a bit this week but I’m not sure I like it. After getting used to some extra people in around everyday it’s almost too quiet. However, I’m so excited to say that my aunt was released from the hospital and got to go home over the weekend. I know I’ve told you this before, but I honestly thrive in situations when there’s a lot of people to feed. It’s taken me a while to figure that out, but I’m pretty sure it’s official now.

Secondly, we’ve had another cold bug going around in our house. Omg, I know, how ridiculous right? Would flu season just leave us alone, please. We seriously just got passed the last one. Thankfully this one is much more mild, but still, I’ve been pretty annoyed at being sick again. I’ll be honest here, being sick makes me really mad sometimes. Not angry at other people, just upset at the sickness itself and the fact that I caught it. Super aggravating. I mean, I don’t have time to be sick. I have things to do.

Also guys, I think my dad was right, maybe our Winter season really IS over for the year! Our backyard is completely thawed out with no snow left in sight at all. That may not seem strange to you, but if you’ve ever been to North Idaho in early February you’d know that it’s super unexpected. Most years we’re still buried in the fluffy whiteness until almost April. I can’t say I don’t love the beauty of the snow, but I can’t deny it’s really nice for driving purposes, not to have to worry about it.

Anyway, with having a mild cold, my temperature has been back and forth between feeling super cold and really hot these past few days and the other night was so warm that I had to open the kitchen door while I was cooking and had the oven on because I thought I might hyperventilate otherwise. I know it was because of having a slight cold, but that’s still goes to show how warm it is!

It’s okay about the cold though, today I feel like I’m almost over it. Well, one more cup of coffee, some extra vitamin C, and maybe something chocolate, to power through the day and I should be golden. Haha, if I’m ever too sick to drink coffee, that’s when you know it’s bad.

So I hope you’re off to a good day (sick free) and having a great weeks so far. This weekend is my nephew’s birthday and I get the honor of making the cake so let me know if you guys want to see it. I will probably just share it on Insta stories or something because my sister and I agreed that we’re going to keep it very simple this year, so I may even cheat with some plastic cake toppers when I’d usually make everything edible. It’s just too easy to get them, not to (#firstworldproblems). Oh, and she chose Trolls as the theme because my sister is basically the real life version of Princess Poppy and I think she enjoys that movie as much as my nephew, hehe.

The food looks delicious, I just read the cold and flu virus are made by the bodies immune system to start cleaning up toxins. I know that sounds outrageous, viruses are made by the body...I will be writing a paper on this later on this month...keep the body healthy so it can clean house eating healthy food, getting plenty of sleep, exercise, lots of hugs and hot tea....hahaha <3

Oh, I'm very interested to read more about that topic, how interesting. Thanks for the well wishes @reddust!

Great Idea and amazing content as usual, thank you so much for sharing.

Wow this is very very yummi food

The spring is on the way. Here it is a bit sunny in the last days, but still cold at night.
The toast looks delicious and yummy :)

I'm so glad you liked it. Thanks @hanen!

I feel you! Got an awful cold that has nailed me down to bed for the past 2 days. Being a very productive person like you, I really get you. It is hard to just let go and do nothing, just waiting and hoping to get better soon. Anyways, thanks for the yummy photos, I would like to try that out! And congrats on your 60,000 SP. I only have a 100, but will keep working hard to grow!

keep working at it @jessicapixie, you'll get to 60k, and thanks so much for the great commenting

Yes! ''Steemit is a marathon, not a sprint''.

Omg! I can't even remember the last time I ate a pomegranate! Now I really want one. Thank you for sharing this and congratulations on your achievement. All the best ! :)

thank you for your support, I really appreciate it

I'm a feeder too. I love making food for others and when its crowds of people, I thrive too. Sometimes I wonder what's wrong with me, as it is so much work sometimes!

Yes, I know exactly what you mean @princessmewmew. So many dishes too, haha. We can be weird friends together then.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!

I am thrilled you liked it and thanks so much for commenting @mrsbeetroo

You welcome...enjoy your posts 💞

This toast looks so tasty! And the colors are amazing! Have a great tuesday too :) And thank you for you support! You are very kind to me and my family :)

you are always so sweet @sweetcarol, I appreciate your support as well. I see something in you, your sister and your Mom and I would like to see that succeed. We need more ladies on steem and of course more people from Portugal is great as well.

Oh, here is an interview I did with @wadepaterson - https://steemit.com/life/@wadepaterson/20-questions-with-gringalicious-the-steemian-series

Lol @gringalicious..."my sister is basically the real life version of Princess Poppy." It's because of great comments like that (& of course the food) that I have you on auto upvote. You come through with wit, even when you're sick. Best wishes for the flu bug to die a quick death & leave your house. Just don't send it over here. When I first moved to a warm climate, I thought I wouldn't get sick in winter anymore. Hmm...guess it doesnt work that way. We still have the flu here in SoCal. 😉

What part of SoCal? My sister @fullofhope and had a trip booked to go to San Diego. We had to postpone it because of my aunt being in hospital. She has returned home, so we're trying to plan for when we can go now. I haven't been since I was really little, I am really excited about it.

And of course, thanks so much for your great commenting!

Hi @gringalicious! I am in Pasadena. It's about a 5 hour drive north of San Diego. Pasadena is really lovely. If you get the chance to come anywhere near me, let me know. As I told your sis @fullofhope, when I saw a past post of hers where she mentioned the upcoming trip, we could all have lunch and a "micro Steemfest." I look forward to hearing about your Cali adventures!

Paving the way forward! More power to your elbow! :)

I love the photos, so colorful! About the sickness, try not thinking about it, when you don't pay attention to something it won't have the power to get ahold of you, that's in my opinion the easiest way to prevent getting sick all the time. :)
