The way to my heart is paved with black beans and a gooey four cheese blend.
Megan made some quesadillas and a black bean corn salad which were both quite amazing. But don’t take my word for it- visit her blog, get the recipe and make it for yourself!
Tonight Megan and I had our weekly date night. After sampling the festive fare of the inimitable Salty Iquana, complete with Iquana Dip and sopapillas, we headed out to Crown Center to walk. It has become one of our favorite spots, as there is lots of room to roam and plenty of things to do and see.
Crown Center also holds some special memories for us, as our engagement pictures were taken there as well. In a fit of nostalgia, we grabbed the camera and captured some of downtown Kansas City for your viewing delight.

Megan made some really amazing dessert tonight- fruit cups! The fun twist on these is that the fruit is the cup.
So simple to make- just hollow out a huge strawberry, fill it with whipped cream, garnish with blueberries, and prepare your mouth for ecstasy.
While we were eating these, I snapped some pics, including an HDR shot.
Enjoy!

This past weekend Megan and I took a trip down to Wichita to see my family and just enjoy a relaxing few days away from KC. As usual, we made the pilgrimage to The Nifty Nut House and The Spice Merchant.

Downtown Wichita, like many downtown areas, is a decided study in contrasts, with its share of degradation side-by-side with some truly magnificent beauty. It is, in a sense, a sort of microcosm of human nature, with a latent beauty and goodness often disguised beneath a veneer of ruin and devastation. Continue reading →
In my last post I gave a few tips for creating HDR food photography. However, in this one I am going to go step-by-step through the process of creating this HDR image of some chocolate chip cookies. Continue reading →
