LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! (with vertical video test)

I'm still sick but just at the very end of it, which is good. Boy, this thing held on for TOO LONG. But on the bright side, I still enjoyed Halloween staycation with Smoochie Face. And, we went to the oral surgeon and setup the appointment to rip out 4 wisdom and one front (ish), tooth. They called today and with insurance we have left (used some on the dentist), my extraction and bone graft (not sure if that's the right word), will be 300 smackers. We are both happy about this because we thought the cost was going to be considerably more.

In other news, I LOVE my new Canon M50 I'm learning each day how to use it. I'm learning how to use manual and what it means to let in light. And, I'm starting to see food in scenes and story, which is something I haven't really worked on before. I'm also saving for a marco lens. Much to learn but I tell you, what a fun thing.

And now, I wish you all a Happy Winter (or Summer). Here's a little vertical video I made. I set it to 720p which should upload directly to Blogger and be easy to see on phones.

Let's find out.

PS: If you can't view it, please let me know. I'm curious what works for folks and what doesn't with regards to posting native video on Blogger.

Happy Winter and Boogie Boogie.

PPS: Who else got snow? To be honest, I'm excited for winter. We had snow already but today, it's just such a pretty winter wonderland, that I can't help but smile and take lots of pictures.

DOING A HAPPY DANCE

I have a HUGE fridge. HUGE. Too big really, but I do fill it with many jars and experiments so I can't downsize the fridge at this time BUT, I can move it.

So I did.

The living room will become the extended kitchen/studio. Tim's idea is to make the studio bigger and the living room, much, much smaller. Just enough to snuggle in for a big screen movie, read a book or take a nap. And with our annual 10-day Halloween staycation coming up, why not get back to work?

Muwhahahahaha. 

In other news, it's been cold for a billion days and today, somehow, Mama Earth is giving us a bright spring day, side of the mountain. Though I hear, other areas got snow.

FQ: Riddle Me This, Batman

Riddle me this, Batman....

There were once only three but soon one exited.
Replaced by another.
Then another gone, also replaced.
Same happened once more.
In the end, there were a total of six.
Though never more than four appearing at once.

Who are we?

Bonus spiders and broken bits of glass if you can name the one below.

And in other news, I love being back to both Blogger and YouTube. To check out my latest video, click here or below. PS: I LOVE MY NEW CAMERA (in case I haven't mentioned it yet today).

I LOVE MY CANON M50

I'M BACK TO POSTING VIDEOS -- HOT DOG, I'M A HAPPY WHISK

Hey Boogerbutts!

My first food video back on YouTube. Just finished it and uploaded and I am SOOOO HAPPPY to be shooting again.

I LOVE THIS CAMERA.

And, I can use all the eyeballs I can get so if you're into Panko bread crumbs with simple ingredients, please take a look-see.

In other news, it's the weekend. Smoochie Face is home and we're about to go eat a bowl of dairy-free mac n'cheese. I'm gonna try the panko on top, too.

Yeah baby. Life is good.
Whisk, out.

WHY I DON'T HOLD ONTO THINGS (or beat myself up) + MY NEW CANON EOS M50 by The Happy Whisk

I'm just not into beating myself up at the end of the day, when everything I wanted to do, doesn't get done. I'm so not about that life because I find it cripples more than helps. To hear more about that, click the link to listen to my latest podcast.

And in other news, Frankenberry got me a new camera and oh my gosh, I can't stop shooting video. I am in happiness overload.

My old camera was a DSLR (digital single lens reflex), and now, I'm into mirrorless (a much lighter camera). Not only that but I jumped ships from Nikon to Canon EOS M50 and lemme tell you, I'm one Happy Freakin' Whisk.

Originally, I got the camera for vloggy type stuff and other videos but turns out, I'm having a heck of a good time shooting stills and ... this is the first time that I'm taking the time to learn things like aperture, iso, the differences between 15mm and 10mm. And .. I'm no longer shooting in auto. Noppers. I'm shooting in manual and soon to learn raw.

I LOVE this camera. LOVE IT!

Check out Wiggy and Bug. I shot these stills on my Canon EOS M50 the first morning of shooting stills.

In other, other news, I love October. Frankenberry gets his usual Halloween staycation at the end of the month and also, our electric is back on, my teeth are in the process of being fixed and also, in case I didn't already mention it, I LOVE MY CANON M50!!!!

HELLO BOOGERBUTTS

Hello Boogerbutts! Happy Autumnal Equinox or .. Spring Equinox depending on where you live.

In other news, I've been writing my butt off and studying for a possible nutrition course I may take next year. Some of you may remember awhile back, I wanted to go to cookery school so I started eating meats, then got all kinds of sick. Then I went back to only eating plants and even though my original plan can't work, I'm still happy because the course I'm looking at is plant-based nutrition, an eCornell certificate program. The cost is $1260 and right now, we have electrical problems and my broken tooth to deal with. But like my friend Holly said, "It's something to look forward to."

I'll take it.

In other, other news, check out these super duper cute pumpkins we got over the weekend and check out my latest podcast titled, THE SCOOP.

And that my Boogerbutts, is all that's fit to print. Happy Fall! Happy Spring!

STAYCATION .... WOOHOO!

Hello Boogerbutts!

Guess what week it is? STAYCATION week and I am over the moon to have Smoochie Face home for 10 days! Count 'em 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10. Yeah, baby. I'm a happy whisk!

In other news, I removed all the upper cupboards from my kitchen and I love the open space. I also removed part of the lowers along with the prep station top that went with it. The kitchen/studio/lab still needs a lot of work but I like where things are going.

And in other, other news, Tim's on 10-day staycation. I opened with that but it's such good news that it's worth repeating. Staycation, baby.
