Today's Scavenger Hunt photos are brought to you by "black and white" and "in the kitchen".
The prompts are noted in the text under each photo.
(whimsy) I have lost my marbles.
(create) So I decided to make a chocolate cake.
(I use the recipe on the Hershey Cocoa container. Yummy!)
(dust) There is usually a cloud of dust when I start up the mixer.
(seed) These beans have nothing to do with chocolate cake,
but they are seeds. And they are in my kitchen.
(drop) Oh. Cake. Drop blobs of icing on the cooled cake and spread it around.
(extra credit...) A good cook always tests what she creates.
(dropped) Dropped a few crumbs there.
My cake may not be pretty, but it really really tastes good!
The bigger the mess the better the cake, right?
I love your takes on the prompts, and I love a good chocolate cake! It's my favorite.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I think I've lost my marbles some days too ;)
Jen,
DeleteThanks for stopping by and commenting here. I wonder if we can really be 'bloggers' if we still retain All of our marbles? Something to think about...
That cake looks so great!! And of course, a good cook must taste as she goes along!
ReplyDeleteThough the cake really wasn't very "pretty" as cakes go, it really did taste yummy. I tasted it a lot. A Lot.
DeleteYour photos make me smile...wonderful set! And now I'm hungry for chocolate...lol (your cake looks delicious). Thank you for sharing! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sherri!
DeleteGreat set for the challenge. Did you really have to make it so chocolaty????
ReplyDeleteYes, chocolaty was my goal and it worked. :-) Did you go out and find something chocolate after seeing this?
DeleteI bet that cake tastes so good! Yum!
ReplyDeleteSara,
DeleteIt did taste good! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
Deb - what a great series - love the black and white treatment. And I couldn't agree more as far as that testing the results. The best part of baking is licking the bowl.
ReplyDeleteBrenda,
DeleteMy siblings and I used to fight over who got to lick the bowl and the beaters. It is the best part of cooking!
This is a creative set Deborah....you looked pleased as punch (love that saying) with the tasting. Lose those marbles anytime, you totally made this work.
ReplyDeleteSusan,
DeleteI was pleased and it was very very yummy. Come on over and I'll share some. Take you a few hours to get here, but, hey, I can always create another!
I can never frost without crumbs!
ReplyDeleteNeither can I! Why have a perfect looking cake anyway when we're just going to eat it?
DeleteI'm right there with you on taste testing :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cake post. I can almost smell the cake and your pictures are great. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat cake is still...and I'll have to keep my husband out of it now so it will last!
DeleteYou did a beautiful job with all of these! And I agree...you have to taste test. :)
ReplyDeleteTaste testing is such a difficult job, but somebody has to do it, right? Thanks for stopping by Michelle!
DeleteGreat set of photos, love the licky bowl one and the look of pure bliss. Suzy x
ReplyDeleteThanks, Suzy! I always appreciate your visits and comments here.
DeleteI love the idea of a theme for your photos. You're right about the mixer throwing up a lot of dust :)
ReplyDeleteAmanda,
DeleteI have chosen a theme a couple times for the SHS series, and it adds just a bit more challenge, but I find it to be fun. Thanks for stopping by!
Such a fun post!! I absolutely love your dialog!! This is such a great group in black and white!! My favorite is your tasting shot!! Perfect!!
ReplyDeleteCathy, I'll never tell how many times I tasted that icing...let it be our secret.
DeleteNow I want chocolate cake. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat series!
Wonderful and inspiring series. Love the b&w processing!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Marcie. My own personal favorite is the marbles. All these were originally in color, and when I changed the marbles to b&w it just looked so different and interesting. I appreciate your comments!
DeleteSuch a creative way to showcase your finds for the prompts. Really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteFun post! I love how you incorporated all the prompts in one place. Even a extra credit, which in will gladly help you with!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kim. It was fun to put together.
DeleteSo not fair, there's no cake in my house and I want some now!!
ReplyDeleteLove that these are b/w, looks more intersting that way.
Great self timer of you taste testing, love that job!!
Laughing at your first photo, that is so good!!
Your a queen at these prompts!
Thanks, Dawn!
DeleteIf I knew where you lived I'd bring you a piece of cake! Seriously.
Cake? I want Cake!
ReplyDeleteVery enjoy series. Got a good chuckle over your Whimsy - I too have occasionally "lost my marbles"
ReplyDeleteSeed - Okay I laughed on this one too, mainly because of your caption as to how it did not relate to the chocolate cake!
Which by the way did look yummy.
Ida,
DeleteThat recipe on the Hershey's Chocolate container is fabulous! Very moist and rich. And I was a good girl and put half of the cake in the freezer...
I enjoyed watching you work in your kitchen, making your cake. It looks delicious and I wish I had some. I love the marbles, too. They look good in black and white. I like the light shining through them.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lee!
Deleteclever take on the scavengerhunt! ;) esp. love the marbles... he he he
