4 Shots: 4 Random Things from Our Detroit Day That Made Me Smile




4 Shots: The DIA is Good for the Soul

Today we went to see the new exhibit Government Support for the Arts: WPA Prints from the 1930s at the DIA which was pretty incredible. I was so overjoyed to be at the DIA on a sunny afternoon I could have hugged the building. I restrained myself and took some photos instead.




4 Shots: Finally.... time to cook

To celebrate having time to cook rather than merely reheat, I made a few things from the new Food and Drink: turkey cutlets with Madeira sauce, cider braised turnips with pumpkin seeds and cranberries and Cauliflower Soup with Spiced Pear Chips. Here are some photos of the soup.
