I like Saturdays. Simple, relaxed, cozy -- just how I like it. And when you throw in an early morning, making waffles for the fam with the radio on and rain drumming on the roof? Perfection. I prefer to be alone in the kitchen, mixing, sifting, creating, waiting for the moment when I can open the door and walk out with a steaming platter of goodness. And so I can take photos undisturbed, too, of course ;)
But now it's the beginning of a new week, work and school have resumed after Thanksgiving break, and the quiet loveliness of Saturday is just a distant memory. I'm looking back at photos, counting down the days until Christmas -- just eighteen days until break! -- and listening to Crazy Girl on repeat (in other words, I am such a sap). I love my folk+indie artists, but there's something about country music that gets me every time. I blame my Texas roots.
What's your idea of a perfect Saturday morning?
Waffles are the best! And so are Saturdays! :)
ReplyDeleteWait, am I comment number one? YAY!

ReplyDeletemy saturdays usually consist of sleep in's, coffee, work on mine and my sister's business, movies, lollies, gourmet lunches, family time and late night.

ReplyDeleteThat right there? I could not agree more. Well, unless it was you in the kitchen with me. Because we wouldn't think each other was crazy for taking copious amounts of food photos. ;)

I love Crazy Girl. It’s my ringtone, actually!
ReplyDeleteSo since you’re 15 now, do you have your permit or do you have to wait until you’re 15 1/2?
In WI they make you wait, which I didn’t like, but that’s the way it goes.

Sounds like the perfect Saturday morning to me! I have a waffle maker on my Christmas list - I am looking forward to being able to enjoy homemade waffles on a regular basis!
ReplyDeletecrazy girl is the best song ever, cue the sap.
ReplyDelete@leah: unfortunately oklahoma is one of those fifteen and a half states...so I have to wait until march.
ReplyDeletemmm mmm mmm. those waffles look delicious. I always love your pictures :)
ReplyDeleteAs always, gorgeous food photos!
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are gorgeous. I just love how you see life. Its lovely! :))
ReplyDeleteGirlie, I am quite jealous of your kitchen...and its beautiful light. And the fact that you can cook in private. :)
ReplyDeletewaffles = the best! <3

ReplyDelete-jocee <3
Aaaaah... waffles and rain. Perfect combo. I love the B&W photos!!
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect! Your photos are amazing!
ReplyDeletei'm not sure what my idea would be, but yours seems to sound pretty good, so i'll take that : )
ReplyDeleteand those photos are...i've run out of words to describe your photography, carlotta! you are truly so talented and such an amazing girl, i don't know what to do.
and your exactly like me. i like cooking on my own, then delivering the goodness to every one after : )

did you know that i ♥ your blog just a leetle bit more than little!
A perfect Saturday morning is being able to sleep in and waking up to hot coffee and pancakes! :)
ReplyDeleteCrazy Girl is my ringtone.. LOVE that song!! :)
PS I love all the B&W Photos!! B&W will forever have a soft spot in my heart! <3
ReplyDeletemmm, I love waffles. Those pictures make me hungry! :) Ofcourse, that may have to do with the fact that I haven't eaten breakfast yet, and I haven't had waffles in a while. :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
~bree
waking up late, eating at a bakery, skyping with the guy & going on an adventure
ReplyDeletewanna know what i love about your blog?! how your photos are so beautiful and peaceful.
ReplyDeletexoxo
Beautiful pictures Carlotta. :) My idea of a perfect Saturday is sleeping in and then doing something fun and spontaneous.
ReplyDeletei LOVE these pictures. they make me want to be all cozy and stay inside.
ReplyDeleteLindsay
Mmmm, waffles! I love to bake in the kitchen with the radio on, especially when it's a little nasty outside so the kitchen feels extra cozy. My idea of a perfect Saturday morning is snuggling with my dog while watching a movie. Or just sleeping.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are gorgeous! Have you seen Woman Of The Year? It's a Katharine Hepburn film; she goes into Spencer Tracy's apartment and begins to make him breakfast, using the waffle maker. But she's never made waffles before and adds yeast, which results in the maker breathing in the corner, and in the end it, along with the coffee percolator, explodes. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even begin to explain how heavenly homemade waffles are. In fact, Mom made some yesterday morning...and because of this post, I asked if she could put some chocolate chips in them. And they were beyond heavenly.
ReplyDeleteThe photos are very pretty too! Typically I hate food photography in black and white, but these are great!
waking up and sleeping through rain is so soothing, i got caught in the rain the other day and couldnt feel more relieved
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever think of doing food photos in b&w, but this post seriously has me reconsidering it. I love how all of these look, the light is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour perfect Saturday sounds much like mine. I really enjoy going to our farmer's market too. Above all though, making breakfast is the most important start to a perfect Saturday, for sure.
food just looks better in black and whiye :)
