Can I have a do over?

So it has been almost seven months since my last post. I am so ashamed. I have actually taking so many pictures in the last seven months and created and made some awesome new things. I honestly have not had more than a few minutes to sit and write my blog. I have tried to make time but it seemed impossible. Well I am tired of not writing and I want to get back at it. I love writing and I love creating new dishes. So while this has been a blog all over the place it will remain that but now food will make the majority of posts. I will keep up with some diy projects but mostly food. I have started working for the Farmer's Market for Chef Roy. I am so anxious and excited for this new opportunity. We are at the Urban Harvest Farmers Market in Houston. I am so overly happy to work with a chef and learn the ends and outs of the organic market. I want to experience all the fresh produce. What's even better is the vegan bread. Meat that is organic also. I am so in awe of all the variations I have seen so far. At our both we specifically sale kale. We have this amazing kale salad. We have a poached egg over kale salad with sticks of grilled to perfection toast. I enjoyed this for breakfast today. Let me tell you what it was incredible! I am not a big eggs over easy person so I was not sure how I would feel about the poached egg but OMG it was the best thing ever!! The smooth silky yolk ran over the kale and gave it this extra dressing and the toast dipped in the yolk..Heavenly!! My mouth was very pleased. We also sell a Croquet Mousier but more on that next week since I have not tried it yet. I look forward to reconnecting to everyone who follows my blog and I am ready to show you guys my new experiences.

Houston Zoo Free Day

I love free day at the zoo. If you get there right at 1:45pm you will be ready for the small line at 2pm which is when the doors officially open for free to the public. Some people really complain about there being too large of a crowd but I have never felt cramped by any means and I bring the stroller. Baby J loves the zoo.. not! He hates I don't understand why. He has no interest in any animals unless it's the petting zoo. We have been going since he was a tiny little thing, he would rather push his stroller blindly around the park, causing quite a ruckus. He never takes the easy route always the opposite direction of the traffic flow. Today at the petting zoo there was a goat who was laying in the hay and poor Baby J just didn't want him in there, he tried to pull him twice. Here on some photos from that:

Butterfly Museum

We got to visit the Butterfly Museum and it was so gorgeous. I just purchased a new camera and I wanted to test it out. Unfortunately Baby J ran all over the place and made it less than enjoyable chasing him rather observing the beauties inside. I did catch some great pictures I think though. Have you ever been to this Museum? We go at least once a year. I always try to get the butterflies to land on me but it's only happened once.
