whipped up a batch of chef chuck’s homemade espresso marshmallows, and i’m happy to report that it was a success.

i figured, since i love eating so much, it’s time i tried my hand at making my favorite stuff for myself. for a noob in the kitchen, i’m pretty proud of myself. i know it’s marshmallows, but there was gelatin involved! =P

to my friends in the ny area, do yourselves a favor. drop by the no chewing allowed booth at bryant park and indulge in some melt-in-your-mouth truffles.

remember to follow the rule!

rant of the lil “catholic” girl

only He has the right to judge whether or not i NEED to find my soul. while countless people set aside an hour of facetime with Him on sundays end up behind bars for ungodly activities they engage in during the 167 other hours of the week, i know He holds my soul in His hands, intact and strong as ever, despite our non-conventional relationship. i know He listens to me. i know He knows that i am always grateful for all the good AND bad times in my life. i know He knows how i continue to keep Him in my life. i know He LISTENS to me, and i know that we are fine. no matter how much i explain it to you, in the end, His is the only judgment that counts. so think what you will of me and my soul. i am done defending myself.

added to my bucket list: swim with sharks.

awesome photo from wilfried niedermayr, btw.

Sharks, Bahamas

Shooting over/under photos is a fun alternative to just shooting underwater. The use of the over/under water camera for this shot is perfect - it highlights the tension inherent in any shot of a shark in the water. Seeing this view of both the water’s placid surface and the creatures lurking below makes me feel like a swimmer at the surface with my legs dangling below. The closeness of one of the sharks, and its size, adds to the drama. The contrast is also emphasized by the beautiful turquoise sea and the puffy white clouds. It’s not easy to get these over/under shots, and one needs to shoot many frames and be well positioned close to the fish.
