Music test & Andy Julia...

Just talking with Laia about fashion and photograhy, I discovered her this great photographer, Andy Julia. I think that I wrote here about his work some time ago, but he's always a great box of inspiration... don't you think?

 
 
 
 
 

I really admire his work, it's just wonderful!

I have a new obsession: the keys. I need to go to Les Encants' market just for search keys with which I can make  myself some accessories ...

 
 

And finally, I leave you with this fun test that I've stolen from Requiem pour un con; is all about music ... I allowed myself the luxury of adding a video clip that I consider worth seeing, I hope you enjoy it!

As I has photos of the weekend, I will make a long post on it ... because it was the first in Spain Steampunk Convention, and I was there!

A song that...

...has made me happy: David Bowie - Magic Dance

my first papaya


I've had papaya before, but I've never purchased a papaya before. They were on sale for $0.94/lb and I just couldn't resist!



My 3.21-lb papaya 
(I couldn't get the picture to rotate for the life of me...sorry)



 
I peeled off the skin and cut it length-wise into 2. How pretty inside!


 
Scooped out the seeds and cut into slices. It was perfectly ripe! Almost looks like salmon here, doesn't it?



 
7 cups of fresh papaya for just over $3.00! Yumm!


Papaya Facts:
- 55 calories per CUP!
- naturally fat-free
- contains 3 grams of fiber per cup
- one cup contains 144% DV of Vitamin C
- named the "fruit of the angels" by Christopher Columbus
- contains papain -- an enzyme used in digesting proteins


Question: What's the last NEW fruit or vegetable you tried at home? 
Are there any you're interested in trying but hesitant to spend the money on without knowing when it's ripe, how it tastes, or how you can cook with it?


 I received several emails asking what my time was for the 4-mile Guinness Challenge. The results are up and my chip time was 45:53...just under 11:30 min/mi splits. Considering the Guinness-drinking and hills...I'm happy with that!



Off to play my 2 hockey games in a bit...hope you're all enjoying your weekend and having better weather than Tulsa!
