Challenge 4: Stir Crazy! - Concluded
Those of us in the Northern climates are facing cold, dreary days, with very little opportunity to get out and get shooting.
Therefore, in honor of all those going stir crazy while stuck indoors, this Photo Challenge is limited to shots taken in the house. Show us the kink-knacks shelf, a piece of interesting furniture or architectural element of your house. Get out your Macro lenses and crawl under the bed to get an interesting shot of a dustball (don't pretend you don't have them!).
Pets, plants, people, toys, whatever is in the house is fair game. Search your basement, search the garage, search the attic and come up with something interesting. Maybe it's just a unique angle or composition that turns something ordinary into something interesting.
This challenge will have a specific end date, the end of the month. One photo only, all standard challenge rules apply.
The winner of the challenge wins a free trip to their refrigerator for the food or drink of their choice, which we will declare calorie free! That and the pleasure of knowing that their entry is better than everyone else's!

Re: Challenge 4: Stir Crazy!
Yildiz, that is making me hungry -- it is almost lunchtime here. Nice photo! What are the foods you show in your photo?

Re: Challenge 4: Stir Crazy!
Hey bakubo,
Thank you and yes, it's indeed lunch hour for you. Just checked!
This is a type of pudding made with wholewheat, milk, honey, sugar, chickpeas, beans, fresh mandarin+grapefruit+orange slices, pomegranate, raisins, dried figs and dried apricots topped with various nuts like walnuts, pistachios, coconut grates or any other topping you'd prefer.
It's very nutritious and smooth.

It's fine Yildiz, an interesting composition of ordinary items that makes the mundane a good picture.aster wrote:Hi Dusty,

Re: Challenge 4: Stir Crazy!
Thanks Kevin,
I wish there was a way of getting a genuine opinion on the pudding's actual taste when on a forum as well. Maybe not too far in the future we shall be able to exchange more than just views on photos.
I'm sure you can cook one as delicious though!
