White
My internet friend Scott Thomas regularly posts photo assignments, and I always intend to comply but never seem to be able to make the deadlines. This time, I promised myself, I’m absolutely doing it.
Well wouldn’t you know it, I have about an hour and a half before the deadline, and I’m just writing this post now. Nice going, you over-achiever you.
The current assignment is “White.” I had no clue how to approach it, so I took the easy way out: food.
This is my white breakfast. Quite healthy, too. Oats, milk, and for added white factor, white chocolate chips and shredded coconut. I added the crystallized ginger in there because, well, its pretty color offsets the bland color of the oats, and the bag of ginger was right next to my bag of chocolate chips.
And just to prove it wasn’t just a setup shot for the assignment:
I ate it. Yes, all of it. And you know what? It was quite good. It may be my new way to eat oatmeal in the morning. (Please don’t ask me what happened to the ginger. I have no clue.)
Thanks, Scott! I didn’t expect this assignment to come with this added bonus.
Speaking of bonuses, this morning I woke up to a snow-covered backyard. So I thought I’d take one more white shot for extra credit.
I do love fresh snow. Especially when I get to look at it from inside my warm home, having chocolate in my oatmeal.

When you were wondering how you would do this assignment, I thought to myself she has a lot of white ingredients in your kitchen. A nice added bonus. This winter has reacquainted lots of people in the US with the white stuff.

Yes! And it was a reminder of how important it is to properly set your white balance. Thanks, and I’m glad I was able to join in this time!

Now that is a nice way to eat Oatmeal!

Maybe that’s how I should do all my meal planning! Monday white, tuesday yellow and orange, wednesday green (my weekly mint chocolate chunk blizzard will fit in nicely there), thursday red, friday brown (think steak and potatoes and mushrooms sauteed in butter), etc.
It’d be better than a certain someone saying “let’s have chicken”. Does he not know there are a million ways to have “chicken”? Umm where was I? I seem to gotten a little off topic. Sorry about that!
Yummy, by the way, everything is better with chocolate!

I think I need to add chocolate chips and coconut to my oatmeal! the picture is really grogeous.
I also can’t believe that you are able to look out your window and see that gorgeousness.

You crack me up, Crystal! And yes, “chicken” without any qualifier isn’t all that helpful.

I love the white forest photo. We are remodeling and I am looking for many photos to purchase. Is it possible to purchase that photo or any of your other photos?
Thank you!
