this week in my camera
Y’ALL. I have been processing this internally but the other day I was transferring some photos from my camera (sony zv-1) to my phone, but I accidentally hit “delete all with this date” instead!! RIP THOSE PICS!! I should just be picking from my phone instead to prevent this lol.
The only thing I really lost was a food pic (with my new plate/dishcloths!!) but I wanted to print it out for my journal... anyways I drew a version of it here:

meal of the day
- Rice mixed w/ lentils and other grains (I think). Rice is such a staple for me so incorporating other grains make it feel better…
- Bok Choy (it was in the soup but I took it out)
- Salmon (My protein of the week that I alternated for lunch/dinner)
- Soup (UMMM no recipe I just like having a soup side, though this one has chicken stock and onion) also added some green onion
- Enoki mushroom side dish
- Small tomatoes - I can’t remember which tomatoes these are
- Sliced persian cucumber and carrot salad - I have a mandolin and my sis gave me a safety glove (she got it free from work b/c they have a test kitchen/test food products etc).
You could put all of this on one plate but I like the ritual of multiple plates and also it really just makes home living very fun (even though there is more cleanup later - though I get to use a dishwasher thankfully).
I’ve found out that I really like preparing veggie side dishes that can be combined to a set meal like this for home/work. I also have been doing more frequent trips to pick up fresh veggies to use immediately instead of a bulk grocery shopping day. I have 4 different grocery store options (ALL DIFFERENT) that is on my way home from work (that’s why I have the Enoki mushroom side dish - cuz I was able to stop by the asian store on the way home from work and saw them on sale).
Also this reminded me that I have all my (4) baggu reusuable standard size totes by my front door area. I try to keep one on hand when I go out - today I picked the pink one!!

Daylight Savings Time has hit which means more sunlight after work YAY. I also want to be more comfortable with using my camera regularly so I took this sky pic. I love the colors in the cloud/sky for inspo:

Sneaky cross stitch progress photo (you will see this photo pop up again when I do the cross stitch update):

Except that pic was from yesterday morning and I have made more progress in the upper blank areas since then. Also I noticed I was skipping some stitches by accident. Oops.
