afternoon brunch.

You may recall that i love love love breakfast, so a sunday morning waffle brunch bonanza with mike sounded simply parfait! it took us a little while to get cracking - grocery shopping to be done, holgas to pick up (OOOHH I CAN'T WAIT TO POST THEM - holga stopped being so darn finicky and finally produced some AMAZING photos...), ate a snack, oohed and ahhed over the holgas for about an hour - all before finally starting on the waffles.

but once we got rolling, pure breakfast magic occurred: rich buttercream waffles, heart shaped bananas, white béchamel sauce (two attempts), and smoothies (again, second smoothie was considerably better than the first attempt). aaaaaaaaahhhh, c'était absolument délicieux...

(and you may be wondering: why are these pictures a million times better than janis' usual attempts? well, it may have a little something to do with this boyfriend of hers...he has pretty mad skills...)

edit: mike wants me to mention that i took some of these pictures. we are a talented duo!

  15. i'm really excited for these holga pictures. Especially because for the longest time I thought Holga was just what you named your camera. But now I'm thinking not? It's kind of cute..

  17. Janis, I don't know what to comment on first: the breakfast or the photography! They are both so great (although I'm sure one is more delicious than the other).
    I love the little heart shaped bananas!
    Have a lovely week and keep taking pictures. I can't wait to see more of your Holga ones.

  24. Hmmm, the pancakes look just delish! and so pretty as just with the berries.

    I love a cooked breakfast too.

  25. so cute! makes me wish i'd photo-doc'd our waffles endeavour a few weeks back... though it was definitely not as ambitious. (think frozen waffles from safeway.) but we did whip up some toppings!
