Popcorn


I love popcorn - sweet or savory. I was buying bags of herb popcorn but I can't find it anymore so I tried making my own.

Popcorn is easy enough to make so I might as well just make my own. To start, I thought I would try this packet of vegan salad topper. It was okay, but no enough oomph.

Then I thought... when in doubt... turn to Pinterest. I now have an entire Popcorn Pinterest board and will start experimenting soon. I even found a sriracha popcorn recipe!

Rochester Subway on Film

When we were in the subway I shot film. I got some shots on the end of a roll of Kodak BW400CN.

And then a few shot on the beginning of a roll of Kodak Portra 400.

Doughnut Muffins

I think I feel a muffin trend coming on. I wanted to make a batch of muffins for breakfast this coming week. I had planned on making some healthy muffins, but the first ones I found were these doughnut muffins. They look more like doughnuts than muffins and they tasted like them too!

New Dryden & Sideways

These past few months the Eastman House has been refinishing the Dryden Theatre. This evening was the reopening. Everything has been upgraded - new seats, lighting, sound, screen and curtain. Our friend Tom invited us out for the evening and it was a chance to catch up and see the theatre changes.

A screening of Sideways was scheduled for the repopening of the Dryden Theatre. Before the screening was a dinner with wine accompaniment. I liked how my twitter handle was on my place card!

After watching Sideways, the director, novelist and screenwriter did a Q & A session on stage. Sideways won best adapted screenplay in 2004 so it was interesting to hear them.

First Friday

I feel like I let the cold of February make me lazy and too eager to stay home in front of the fire most nights. Along with exploring Rochester Subway, another thing we haven't done in Rochester is go out for First Friday. I decided to start March off right and hit a few spots tonight.

First we went to Genesee Center for Arts and Education. Their artist-in-residence, Andrew Cho had an opening in the gallery. I loved his work that featured a plain white ceramic portrait bust behind a piece of glass with the matching portrait in black ink. When you view the ceramic through the glass, it's as though the details are projected onto it.

Over on the book arts side we found prints from Carla Bartow. I saw her rabbit poster over a year ago at Orange Glory and have been wondering where to get one ever since. I was happy to meet her in person, put two and two together, and get a rabbit poster for our house!

It was the last day for the Girls vs Boys show so we hit up 1975 Gallery too. This T-Rex cracks me up with his wee lil' arms hanging underneath.

My favorite was this big tentacle though. Note that cardboard is the medium that both teams had to work with. Very creative.

After 1975 we went to The Yards to see the girl's work. They really outdid themselves with a cardboard cabin in the woods, dollhouse/stage and a ship.

I spotted this little rabbit first thing. No surprise.
