iPhones: bringing you more picture-licious posts since 2011

It's been almost a month since my last post. Shame on me. A lot has happened since then, including me acquiring an iPhone, which makes this blogging thing a lot more fun and a lot more colorful. Here's what's been up.

When I got back from Christmas break, my cilantro was dead (as expected).

So since then, I've started a tabletop greenhouse for some herbs. Cilantro, basil, and chives for now. 

These little suckers grow like mad.
I just hope they keep it up.

There was a snow storm right before classes were supposed to start. First day was cancelled, which got the semester off to a slow start, but I had a great time in the snow. Improvised sledding, squishy ball playing, and kitty and chiggin' snow antics. All entertaining. 

Squishy balls + cardboard + duck tape = infinite gaming fun.

I wiped off a little section of snow from the bench and put her on it.
She didn't move the entire time I was outside. What a weenie.

Totally unfazed by the snow.

School happened. No pictures to show from that, but expect some algae pictures soon. They are such a lovely color of green. 

I've done some hiking in the Clemson Experimental Forest recently. What are the experiments you ask? I wonder the same thing. 

The bamboo forest in the Clemson forest is purty. Think that's an experiment?

This weekend I went down to Atlanta for a concert: the Head and the Heart opened for Dr. Dog. Good show, pretty packed. I woulda appreciated more dancing space, but I guess that means I can't complain about the music, right? 

Stayed with a friend Friday night, then went to the Dekalb Market on Saturday. It's for sure my happy place. It's as if you combined Sunflower and Lee Lee's into one magnificent oasis of fresh food. I'm stocked and stoked for meal time(s) this week.

The produce: Japanese eggplant, arugula, pesto, purple potatoes.
(Have I mentioned how much I love purple?)

The cheese: thick-shredded parmesan, Maytag blue,
Bruder Basil (smoked and not processed), havarti.

The lone meat: thick ass bacon.

The finely ground powders: cumin, chili powder, coffee (organic, fair trade
Ethiopian for $6.99/lb? Yes please),  blue cornmeal (almost purple).

2011 is shaping up to be a pretty sweet year.
