Obviously. I had something sort of prepared to write about the weather but I've already bored myself, so I won't burden you, dear readers. The idea was that the recent boon of heat had me ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=682 Somewhat ironically, considering yesterday's blog post written from my environmental soapbox, I had beef for dinner. It wasn't grass-fed and I bought it from a major chain grocery store. I'm a hypocrite! I know! If it makes you (because it certainly makes me) feel better I eat beef maybe once ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=678 I went to pick up sea shells for a new project I'm working on and ended up going home close to tears. As I was walking, scaring sea gulls away so I could photograph the crabs they were picking at, I started noticing these multi-colored bits of sea foam. The ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=667 Exposing your life to the internet is commonplace these days. I barely remember the years before my mom brought home our first dial-up modem, which I used to play some online game for the movie Casper starring Bill Pullman ( http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=661 I love this stuff. I know I've said it before several times on this blog and certainly in person. I don't think people think of me as being a fiend for ramen as much as they think of me as a nut for pizza or Chinese food, but my appetite ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=656 I used to think that old saying "breakfast is the most important meal of the day" was a load of you-know-what. Unashamedly I admit I held this opinion because most breakfast menus in America feature and expound upon the disgusting egg. I find eggs inedible and anything but incredible. This ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=649 It's true, I do. Paris was really awesome and I really enjoyed spending the 2006-2007 school year abroad there. I mean, it's Paris. How can you not miss it? Well, not everyone loves it, and not everyone loves the French. Some of you out there hate the French, whether for ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=641 So I braved the crowds on Saturday at the Ferry Plaza Famers' Market. Among the bridge and tunnelers, the tourists, and the other locals who slept in, were scads of fabulous looking produce. Although the Ferry Plaza market has more variety in terms of vendors and prepared foods, it's more ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=639 I know what you're thinking, "Charlotte, you should TOTALLY give up photography and get into graphic design cuz you're sooo talented, obvi!" But seriously, there is a multitude of take-out options in my neighborhood and I rarely take advantage of any save the pizza place down the street after a ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=633 It's been a little over two weeks since my 10-day vacation to Portland, Oregon.

Apizza Scholl's was at the top of my food to-do list, which didn't have much else on ... http://charlotteann.com/blog/?p=626
