So I am like your average food blogger with an obsession with photography. If/when I cook, I play with food styling and I cook with my camera in the kitchen. I always have it nearby. I used to have to worry about keeping sand or other dirt out of my camera when I went hiking, maybe clean the lens, etc. Now I have to clean the poor thing like I would my toddler, wiping food off it’s chin.
Nowadays, I can not cook because of the persistent morning sickness (which should be called all-day sickness). Not only can I not stand being in the kitchen or looking in the fridge, I have a hard time even looking at food photography! Thats pathetic to me and I have been struggling with it.
Bea at La Tartine Gourmande has been so amazingly productive lately and the sun of spring and summer shines so bright in her photography that I am slowly coming around.
I suggest that anyone who loves food photography take a peek at her site and at her flickr stream. She is on a ROLL that is awesome to behold.
Me? My breakfasts are too insignificant to consider! Nevertheless, I have included a pic of my average breakfast above, my brutal sadistic prenatal vitamins and omega-3 oil pill (which I take twice a day). Be glad you are not near when I must take them. I do not tuck into a delightful enveloping universe of titilating aroma like one might with a truffle omlette. No, when I take these prenatals, I even scare the cats (with fluffed fur and everything) with the occasional very loud and threatening sounds of a failed attempt to get them down.
I am at 3 months 1 week. Time is a forward vector, inevitable, inexorable. This too shall pass.
” by David Joachim and Andrew Schloss right now and I have to say I am LOVING this book. Will post review soon!

Hang in there, it will pass and then you won’t know what to cook (or eat) first!

IF I were unleashed, right now.. (its 10 pm) and went to the store, I would come home with gallons of ice cream and those crispy wafers with cream filling and caffeinated coffee and whipped cream and .. oh.. dont let me go on!
Thanks for your sweet words

Poor poor you! Although I have never suffered as badly as you are during my three pregnancies, I just hated that permeating nausea.. but it should be over soon for you and then you enter into the energetic part of the pregnancy so I’m almost scared of what you will produce!

I am getting some of the energy back, for sure! Hopefully I will not scare you all too much!

Baby Food: Healthy Choices You Make That Matter To Baby…
Once your baby is past 6 months old, milk alone is just not enough. Your baby needs solid food. In fact, between the ages of 4 to 6 months, babies should start getting used to eating solid foods….
