Blessed rains and a stylish weekend
Today the rains have finally arrived. Those much needed and much loved soaking rains that usually arrive in autumn to break the dry summer are finally here. Welcome rain!
I had the most fun weekend working on a photo shoot for SBS Feast magazine's September and October issues. This is a picture of a set up in progress. I really love doing food styling and want to do more. I'm currently putting a little portfolio together to showcase some of the work I've done to date. I will show you when it's finished.
Meanwhile, with the forecast for rain all week, out in the weather is a hardworking wwoofer from Japan getting some jobs done in the garden bless her. This week I see gyoza and okonomiyaki on the menu! Pass the kwepie mayo please.
What's happening in your week? What's on the menu at your place?
oh blessed rains! so glad you all finally got some.
ReplyDeleteas for your photo shoots portfolio: I am absolutely positive it will be beautiful. can't wait to see it!
menu for our week is tapas. tapas. tapas. and wine. xo
Tapas! How lovely. I've been learning about Izakaya - Japanese version of a tapas bar that serve beer and snacks..my favourite way to eat!

We have had rain too Michelle. It is so welcome.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to more of your beautiful photos. I have a matching partner for your little sieve in this photo, although mine has peely paint on the handle.
Menu at our place tonight, freshly caught Murray Cod with roast potatoes. Enjoy your Japanese cuisine! x
Your menu sounds delish Jane. I love Murray Cod!

Ohhhh gyoza! You lucky thing! (Could you pop some in an envelope and send it my way?)
ReplyDeleteI would but I reckon the postie would eat them!
DeleteHaving such a willing worker in the garden must be a lovely treat.

Thank you Zara, I do love getting those jobs crossed off the list!

It's rained here for three straight weeks...if I never see a gray rainy day again I will be a happy girl! My tomato plants are hanging on by their drowned roots. :)
ReplyDeleteI love food styling and photography and can't wait to see your portfolio. I admire your photos because they have such a warm simple farmhouse feel to them...just what I love.
Thank you so much for saying that Sarah, you made my day!
DeleteSorry to hear about your tomatoes : (
I'm so looking forward to seeing the portfolio of work you've put together - I love your food styling shots (and your shots in general!)
ReplyDeleteThat's so lovely to hear Naomi! Thank you so much.

Yum, Japanese sounds great! We've got lots of simple meals on the menu.... not much energy, and bleak weather brings soups and stews and bread and butter pudding! But might be inspired to try a bit of Japanese though!
