FMS PhotoADay is a photo challenge hosted/led by Chantelle of FatMumSlim. She posts a prompt for each day of the month and you can interpret them however you like! It’s a fun way to look at the world around you in a different light (and actually look at it more). I joined partway through March and have been having fun with it. It’s quite rewarding! I liked how Chantelle summarized and looked back on her month’s worth of photo a day images on her blog, so I’m going to do that too!

I started on March 10th; here’s what I did through the month. 🙂

Snow cream

It was about a year ago when I was first introduced to Blockheads, this mysteriously new dessert place that was all the craze. Maven took me there upon discovering that I, his foodie friend, hadn’t tried it yet!! This whole “snow cream” idea was something new to me – I knew ice cream and I knew shave ice, but shaved ice cream?? I had to see what the fuss was all about. The moment I tried it, I was blown away. From then on it was a long-distance addiction for me. I live too far to justify going there whenever I want, but when I get a chance, I always stop by.

My very first Blockheads order! What a cute mascot they have.

I love how you can see the delicate, intricate texture of the shaved ice cream that makes up “snow cream.”

Digging in to my half-strawberry, half-green tea snow cream topped with boba and rice cakes.

I just had to try the seasonal cantaloupe flavor! It was great.

Missy was really loving that seat in the kitchen!

Doesn’t that hurt?

Loafing so she can fit.

While we sit here hoping that spring is finally on its way for real this time, let’s enjoy some of the great things that will grow…

giant mushrooms the size of a fist

Massive mushrooms that grew on their own on the UCLA campus!

a homegrown eggplant from our garden

This cute little eggplant was all my mother’s hard work.

freshly picked avocado, lemon, and lime

So many wonderful fruits all freshly picked from one yard.

This little orange tree is barely waist high but it’s already producing a nice big orange!

Ribbon braiding

When you’re stuck on a plane for hours, sometimes you do what you can with what you have. I happened to have some ribbon…

Here’s a place that I enjoy going to whenever I get a chance. I love their sausages and their sauerkraut!

I looove burying my sausages in sauerkraut.

Don’t be fooled, this is a different sausage but same topping.

Panda opted for a more exotic flavor.

The Belgian fries make a nice complement to the sausages.

A typical meal involves about two sausages per person and some fries.

After reading about Neko font on Catsparella, I couldn’t resist trying it out! I wonder if I can make letters based on the positions of my own cats… must go investigate now.

My favorite by far: the Y!! The lettering looks better and better as it gets smaller, so try looking from further away! 🙂
