Best Friends

Friday, October 24th, 2008

Remember the days when you spoke to your best friends every day, and were utterly inseparable?!  These two remind me of myself and one of my oldest friends, Brooke.  We would talk on the phone every day for hours and hours when we got home from school, much to my mother’s dismay!

Banana Bread for Breakfast

This recipe is so easy, and so good!  I love that it uses ingredients that I usually have in the house, and it’s the perfect way to use those last two bananas in the bunch that have gotten a little mushy.  It makes a great breakfast, house gift or snack throughout the week.

Ingredients:
2 eggs
1/2 cup oil
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
3 ripe (or over- ripe) bananas, mashed with a fork
1 1/4 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350

Combine eggs, oil, sugar and vanilla.  Mix until creamy.  Add banana and blend well.  Add flour and baking soda.  Lightly dust walnuts with flour and fold into batter.  Pour into a greased loaf pan.
Bake for One Hour.

Capturing Kids

Friday, October 10th, 2008

These pictures say it all.  I love when I capture the moment a child’s eyes lighten up, and they are really connecting with their surroundings.  The photos below are of Ethan Kaufman and his grandparents, from our shoot in Central Park last week.  Mom Sharon said,”These are fantastic.  I am so thrilled with your work”.  Just what we love to hear!

A Centerpiece Tells a Story

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

This intricate and winding centerpiece of a Rosh Hashana dinner (that probably covered up to 100 feet at the Harmonie Club on Tuesday night) was created by Gale, the woman in pink.  She explained it illustrates the story of Abraham and Isaac, as interpreted in the Hebrew Bible.  It was quite impressive!1.jpg3.jpg4.jpg5.jpg
