Dessert Menu.

sometimes. 
As a chefs wife I need to help with little things like consistency.
He redid the dessert menu & wants to have every dish made the same despite who's running pantry. 
{that's kitchen code for making salads & desserts}
so he asked if I'd take a few pictures to show how he wants them made.

Both fun & yummy. 
BUT food pictures are tricky & take time.

 Bread-pudding with vanilla ice cream with a pecan caramel something something. 
I didn't write down descriptors! 
 Oh yum. 
Creme Brule with fresh berries.
so silkin smooth & OH so dreamy vanilla creamy.
Profile shot.
 his version of carrot cake.
His favorite dessert on earth & he had to put one on the menu despite mine still being his favorite
:)
 Hot in a skillet Chocolate Chip cookie.
Ooey Gooey with Chocolate Sauce  
{take the shot quick before it melts}
Vanilla Ice Cream 
My chef.
Plating. 
 now this one is a sneaky little dessert. 
Doesn't look like much-a-do.
BUT inside it surprised me!
Oh so good Chocolate Pudding with Whipped Cream & they make 
{its another dessert but no one can mess it up it comes in a popcorn cone}
Housemade Caramel Corn.
OMG is right!
The smooth rich chocolatey pudding & whipped with salted caramel crunch. Loved it.
Came out to check on me. 
And then he wanted to make sure I saw the other new things on the menu that I need to shoot [another day] for the restaurant.

a very not cute picture of me getting back to people on my phone while INDULGING 
Hello, check out my table. embarrassing.

Mother's Day.


I must say, I don't think a day is enough...
Mothering is something so much more & bigger, although appreciate-I wish it took more recognition than just A day. 
Just few days have passed....well, more than that but with all the mothering going on its been a blurrr....




 they made me cry. 
Parker in his homework had written a poem!
Abbie had gotten me a button/badge
Kenzie wrote how she appreciate all the things I did to keep our family running. 
Madeline had hearts & SO SO SO SO much written big ;)
and Mr. B was just himself, wonderful.
 oh potatoes, how I love the. 
thanks Toddy for an amazing breakfast...
 with my FAVORITE- Hollandaise sauce!


 quick stop by See's Candy to drop by my grandmother for Mother's Day. Love you Grandma!
 Then we were off to Point Lobos. 

 Lots of looking around...climbing rocks.


 finding treasure.



 and then of course-EAT. We stopped by Whole Foods and got some picnic items, "Fisher style". 
chips, salsa, amazing cheeses, bread, olives, roast chicken, roasted garlic spread, pears, pirate bootie & drinks. 
wonderful!





 These little people just make he happy. 
Each. 
Every.
one of em!
Baby seals were on the shore...learning from their mommas! 


 a nice long walk after our feast, around a couple paths along the coast. If you've never stopped into Point Lobos, its fantastic bit of true coastal california
 beautiful wild flowers & succulents growing in the cliffs.


 lots of running.
Parker & Kenzie found a path down to a beach.. 

 This view makes me feel home. 
I grew up around these parts and seeing just green ranch with Carmel in the foreground has always been part of me. I love it.
 The reason for the season- KIDS!
Thank you all for making me who I am.
For the gift of being a mother & having you with me every day, 
your all my favorite.
 And then a show-off otter. 
It played in the water and loved having an audience. 
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY. 
let make it a week next time around.

I knew it the moment I took it...

I had a picture in my mind. 
Literally. 
This usually doesn't work out the way my mind sees it when I try to make it happen with my camera. 
Sometimes it does. 
Mostly it doesn't.
Today it did. 

See. 
14 and half years ago today, my whole world changed. 
I became a Mom. 
And this precious girl became a little bit of me, only much better... right before my eyes. 
Today
I took a picture I had in my mind...and I knew the moment I took it, I'd love it forever. 
only it makes me wanta cry because she's just so wonderful & amazing & fabulous & smart & loving & each thing I ever hoped that day when she entered the world. 





and as she takes these next couple weeks to finish up middle school & prepare to graduate & head off to high school I more than ever want to capture where she's at. 
a glimpse. 
at all that she is becoming. 
I love you.
