I am still using chillies for every meal part from breakfast. :-) Although I have heard that hot chocolate and chillies are a great combination. But then again I am not drinking hot chocolate for breakfast.
I am enjoying learning how to cook/steam vegetables for dinner. I never really ate them growing up and have never really made a dinner with vegetables unless they have been part of a stew, so I am surprising myself in how much I am enjoying eating them. Today I even had raw cauliflower as a snack. Not too shabby I must say and very healthy don’t you think?
My hubby laughed at me the other day when I asked if you eat the green leaves on the cauliflower. I just don’t want to waste any food and don’t mind cooking them if you are supposed to but apparently you don’t eat that part.
Just so you are aware I grew up on salads not vegetables my hubby grew up eating vegetables and very over cooked ones. Me I prefer them to still be almost raw at least crunchy. In my pursue of the perfect steamed vegetables I can say that it is much yummier to eat vegetables that you have bought fresh and not the frozen ones.
I have had a great start work wise this February with a few jobs coming in and that is without me really looking for any so that is great. I am very pleased since I know that being new in town I probably need to crank up the marketing a bit in the beginning.

I am tomorrow for instance photographing a ski tournament in Dubai which will be great fun. I am doing it Pro-bono to market myself towards the Scandinavian market. http://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=183419385030995&id=699197495&ref=notif&notif_t=feed_comment_reply#!/home.php?sk=group_143110569081030

I am also giving away a Free Family Portrait session as a prize. Thinking that I need to do a few things like these in the beginning to get seen so people know that I am back in town again.

Next week I will be busy with photographing golfers during the Dubai Desert Classic tournament. As well as a golf clinic with Richie Ramsay at Al Badia Golf Club. http://www.albadiagolfclub.ae/
So happy days but busy ones for sure.

Aperitifs by Chefs at Marriott Red Sea Resort - Egypt

I was attending The Race to Taba Heights golf presentation the other night. Taking the photographs of that days winner, runner ups etc. of the golf tournament. The evening presentation was held at the Marriott Red Sea Resort and the Chef had made these gorgeous and very tasty aperitifs for the event I of course could not help but to take a few snaps of them before everyone indulged, they were gone pretty quickly so if you wanted any you needed to be swift. But that is always a good sign for the Chef so all compliments to him well done on the aperitifs. My personal favorite was the pastries with blue cheese in, the chocolates were of course very good as well!
If you are interested in the presentation images I took you can find them all on the Taba Heights Golf Resort facebok page, http://www.facebook.com/tabaheightsgolfresort
