Alter Ego: Guest Food Blogger #3

The following is an excerpt taken from my recent turn as guest food blogger for A Ruby Reduction, published 18 May 2012.

It’s funny how our taste preferences have a tendency to change or evolve with age. If I were to sit down little nine year old Jamie and ask him to name his three favourite vegetables, I can almost guarantee the list would not include broccoli, cauliflower, or Brussels sprouts. However, 25 years later and rarely a day goes by in which I’m not enjoying a combination of all three.

My mother must be so proud.

(Wait a minute. If I could travel back in time and meet the me from 1987, am I really going to waste that ability by asking him what his favourite vegetables are? Of course, not. I’m slapping a copy of Gray’s Sports Alamanac in his hand and telling him to not put some money on the Cubbies).

Waxing Nostalgic

I haven’t seen your face around since I was a kid. You’re bringing back those memories of the things that we did… (Photo circa 1985).

Searching for the Ghost of Harvey Parker

IMG Gallery: Down on the Farm

Black and white photos of a family farm located in Eastern Ontario. The images were captured during early autumn 2009.

IMG Gallery: Iceland Airwaves

The following collection of photos were captured during the 2009 edition of the Iceland Airwaves music festival. From October 14 to 18, various venues throughout Reykjavik played host to approximately 150 local and international acts, including Metronomy, The Drums, Kings of Convenience, FM Belfast, and Alaska in Winter.

Safe and foolish.

Standing on the Ledge of the Skydeck at the Willis Tower, 1,353 feet separating the soles of my shoes and the streets of Chicago. Feeling equal parts safe and foolish. Resolve to strike a similar balance each day (and night).

Happy Valentine’s Day?

Here’s to me falling asleep on the couch during our first married Valentine’s Day.

I only wish I was joking.

Anyway, I did say this site would feature a number of works-in-progress. I just didn’t realize I would be one of them. Yikes.

I would be remiss if I did not give credit to our friend, Khoa, for the accompanying photo. We selected a non-traditional song for our first dance (Joy Ride by The Killers) and I think Khoa captured it beautifully.

So, do yourself a favour and check out Khoa’s Flickr gallery (khoa_sus2’s photostream).
