Granola-in-Waiting



I love everything about making my own granola except the heat in the kitchen. Today seems cool enough, and I've got a sick kid on my hands, so it's granola day. In the current spirit of "full" shots, I like the reflection in the toaster oven: the Hendrick's bottle, the top of the rad, the window that I need to lean out of to catch laundry on the line in back. But it's the colours and textures of the granola-in-waiting itself that I like best....


And a couple of hours later, ta-da! (Bonus second photo....)

  2. The heat is the very same reason why my granola recipe didn't get made as often this summer as I would have liked.

    This is a busy, homey shot. It is warm and inviting (as is the granola, I'm sure).

  3. I like the first shot a lot. It's elemental. My daughter likes to help me make granola. When she measure out the ingredients, she assigns them nationalities: the oatmeal is always the English for some reason--I've pointed out that Scottish would be more appropriate--and the oat bran always seems to be the French. Lately the coconut's been Kenyan. I have no idea why she does this but I get a kick out of it.
