No Holga Yet....



About a week ago I ordered this beautiful little bundle of JOY! I've been saving up for one for absolute ages (I wanted it the minute I saw it, but I was good and just started putting a bit of money away each week), and now it is almost miiiiiine!!! I'm still waiting for it to arrive via Hong Kong Post (the cheapest way to buy it), and meanwhile pretending my Android is a Lomo.
It actually does a pretty good job. Especially with multi-exposure.

But soon Miss Holga will be here, and she will match my shoes and all will be right with the world!!! And though it will take forever to get photographs developed, I will post all sorts of fun things!
For now, here are some photos taken with my other bundle of technological joy...

Maple Crepes with Wild Blueberries and Maple Whipped Cream

This is one of the most delicious, easiest, quickest and most painless breakfasts to make, and what I've eaten for nearly every meal this week.... It's also gluten-free, low carb and entirely sugar free.
As usual, click on the photo for the soundtrack to this recipe ;)


*These Ingredients + butter for frying*

*Whisk all ingredients together*

*Heat griddle to 320, add 1/2 tbs butter, then 1/6 of the batter*

*Flip when there is only a small pool of batter in the center, then wait about 30 seconds and remove from griddle*

Now, I didn't photograph the whipped cream process because it became chaos. Whipped cream everywhere. If you use the proper sort of bowl, however (one with high walls), you won't end up with whipped cream on the ceiling and in your hair.

*Whipped Cream*
Pour 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1/2 tsp Maple flavor, and 1/4 tsp stevia in a bowl (WITH HIGH WALLS!!!!) and beat on high until fluffy.

Add a bit of the whipped cream and 1/4 cup of blueberries (wild are best!) to your crepes and Bon Appetit!

The Beach! And hugs :)

Teeny surfers,

Waterlogged playtime,
