Fremont Market

Today, while exploring the Fremont Market, I decided to practice my portrait skills. Things I needed to work on: Asking if I can take some one's portrait and using my 50 mm lens more frequently. So I forced myself to only bring one lens. These portraits are my two favorites from the day. People were surprisingly friendly and okay with having me take their picture. All of this is in preparation for future portrait adventures, including but not limited to, sitting outside of Sakura Con and photographing the amazing costumes that will be going in and out of that convention.

1, 2, 3 Jalapeno!

Today I made 1, 2, 3 Jalapeno Poppers/Bacon Wrapped Cream Cheese Filled Jalapenos! I am calling them that because there is basically only three ingredients (cream cheese, jalapenos, bacon) and it only takes three steps (seed jalapenos, fill with cream cheese, bake...then eat...OK that's 4). They are amazing. And I actually got the recipe off of the Pioneer Woman website which I have not had the privilege of perusing as of yet (although I aspire to one of these days). They are amazing. And they definitely have solved my problem of jalapeno excess after buying the package at Trader Joe's. So everyone must try it! Follow the link!

Flickr

To prevent an overflow of images, I have created a Flickr account. This will also have some of the experimental, personal and fun images that I choose not to post here. So, if you REALLY want a glance into my creative psyche, http://www.flickr.com/people/tessaroche/ is where you want to go. I think.
