i am noticing color today.
here is some color from my kitchen.
this is what made me start thinking about color today…
the veggie backdrop of annie.
she almost always gets to pick a donut to eat while shop.
(do you think that’s why they put them at the front of the store?)
this isn’t about color.
look at these absolutely adorable little ice creams containers.
it’s like less a scoop.
i think they were .50 cents.
i love cute packaging.
they are 2.5″ tall.
that is a real spoon…not a giant novelty spoon.
(that would be funny though)
oh ben and jerry…
you know the way to a ladies’ heart don’t you?!
Lauren - I’m with Amy on this one…the little wooden spoon in the lid is the icing-on-the-cake! It so reminds me of getting ice milk at the fair when I was little and by the time you were doen eating the little spoon was so soggy that I would walk around knawing on it like I was a doggy with a bone.
Okay – maybe that was TMI. Sorry!
Thanks for the color infusion to my day Meg!
danelle - I love the colorful pics. I never thought of laying cereal boxes on their sides either. Duh..makes sense. Love the blog!
amy - I want to see the sweet little spoon that comes in the lid!
Lee Ann - See how we all help each other with blogging. One mom gets the idea to lay her cereal on its side, another a treat while shopping and I had no idea there were mini Ben and Jerry’s. You’ve helped three people with one post of “color”. Way to go Meg – you can surely feel good about yourself today 🙂 And as always, your photos are beautiful.
meg duerksen - i was going to talk about the zweibach
but the post was getting long…
and i thought people might ask for the recipe
and then it would be one more reminder for craig that i still don’t know how to make them!
or the jam!
but yum. they are so very very good.
love you too!
lorel - for those who may not know, the 4th picture from the end features fluffy Mennonite zwiebach and homemade refrigerator strawberry jam (made by Meg’s mother-in-law). These are two of the best reasons ever to not go on the Atkins Diet.
Beautiful pics Meg, as always. Love you!
Liz - Great photos Meg. And a donut while shopping, that is a genius idea.
jeanetta - how orderly it all looks. it would never last at my house. haha
yea the ice rink is gone, can you hear my sadness… NOT. no broken bones though so that was good.
Elena - Hi Meg, I’m Jennifer P.’s friend and thought I’d better be an honest blog lurker and leave a comment after her Private Eye post. 🙂 Yes, it’s true, I pop in here once in a while. But I HAD to comment today and say, “Why on earth have I never thought to lay my cereal boxes on their side?” and “Those strawberries are BEAUTIFUL!! Even their green leafy tops are pretty.” Thanks for the fun pictures, it makes cold wintery days a little more bright.
Jennifer P. - I think you could totally get a job working for Gourmet magazine– you make food look lovely! Glad to know another mom has no qualms about sugar cereal and the “treat” (donut, cookie, whatever) to keep her kid-o’s happy while shopping. And I love the Ben and Jerry’s “minis” too, and the sweet little spoon that comes in the lid. I can buy them from the store and eat them RIGHT AWAY (like in the parking lot!), and not need to worry about self-control. Aaaaah!
Thanks again for more wonderful photos!
