Spice
The Call: Red Hot — Cheryl
My tastes are rather basic and pretty simple: chocolate, vanilla, caramel, cinnamon, garlic and cayenne pepper. My, how I love cayenne. If I’m making chicken for dinner, cayenne’s in there somewhere. Black pepper on steak? No, thank you, but shake some cayenne on top. Pizza sauce, marinara sauce? Yes and yes. One of these days, I’ll even add some of the deep red deliciousness to my chocolate cake batter — but I won’t tell the kids.
The Response: Variety is the Spice of Life — Jessica
I like being on the response end of this project. I like the way the prompt forces me to think through things. In this instance, my first thought was of a cinnamon-like substance in a big pile. That reminded me of Dune but only momentarily (I didn’t like that movie). Next came “sugar and spice and everything nice,” but my daughter is not the sugary sort…so there went that idea. After a few hours of turning things over I thought of “variety is the spice of life.” A ha!
But how to show variety? After several false starts, I found my way to my daughter’s yarn stash. We both love yarn. Whenever we wander into a craft store we always leave with a skein or two. I love the colors and textures. She actually makes things with it! One day, when my hands are free, I will too.
oh! I love the glass container and the red powder! You did a fab job on that one! (I’m pretty partial to caramel and garlic too!) Although I gotta have pepper on steak. ; )
Thanks, Jessica. I have to say that I was very pleased with the way the shot turned out.
I love how you handled this prompt. Those colors are gorgeous. I think your yarn stash is like my scrapbooking/rubber stamping stash. My daughter needs to spend some time with yours.
