Color Week – Green
This is the first week of my new schedule. I’m going to start working from home on Thursdays. This allows me to have some more freedom and flexibility around my work day. I sat at the computer in my jammies until about noon. Then hubby came home for lunch (he had a dentist appt so he was in the neighborhood). Then I went back to working. Around 2 I went out to the Farmers Market, to take some green pictures, and grab some things to make for dinner. Sure, I had to work a little later to make up for my hour and a half break, but its worth it in the end.
So here are my green pictures. Enjoy. Be sure to check out all of my Color Week photos on my Flickr set.
This fence is along Harvard Ave on the back side of our building. It’s a very tree-filled street.
Took this picture at the Farmer’s Market. They had some great veggies. I picked up some ground turkey and some goat cheese (some smoked and some chocolate). I know, chocolate! I don’t know what I’m going to do with it. Any suggestions are welcome.
Saw these flowers while walking home from the Farmers Market.

Looks great!! I love the history info too 🙂 Congrats you did an awesome job!
Love the history info and your buttercream looks so silky. Nicely done!
good job! rolls like the yule log and the pumpkin roll really aren’t too hard to make, but they’re great to bring to get togethers b/c everyone loves them 🙂
Congrats on your first “real” yule log. I wasn’t crazy about the buttercream either, though I did like the coffee flavor!
Yum! Very nice, creamy-looking buttercream. Looks delish! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I went for raspberry inside too – and agree that chocolate frosting would be tastier. Good job!
You did an awesome job, Jen!
Your log turned out so pretty – as did the mushrooms!
Way to go!

Your log looks wonderful, so silky creamy. Happy Holidays!
Your log looks awesome. Congratulations on completing the challenge.
Very pretty! I thought this one was harder than the “Buche” I made in French class too.
I love your texturing – nice log!
Job well done. I made it with chocolate buttercream and I think it would have gone lovely with raspberry.
I love the idea of the raspberry filling with the coffee buttercream. That must have tasted incredible.
As worldly as I thought I was at the time, I never could have attempted anything this complex in high school. You did a great job with your… it looks luscious!
I hope you had a joyous holiday, and that 2008 brings you health and happiness, laughter and love.
Great bûche de Noël and I loved reading your post.
Happy Holidays!
