Friday Photos: Rhubarb Pie
May 8th, 2015
My strategy worked, bringing in freshly cut and trimmed rhubarb from my garden resulted in this delicious pie last week! Lindsay indulged my fondness for rhubarb and baked another one of her family favorites. It’s amazing how a couple days of warm weather produce enough ripe rhubarb that’s ready for the picking. The first of the corn is in already and lots of seedlings that I started inside are almost ready to plant outside in the garden. Next up- I’m hunting for heirloom tomato plants. I love this time of year, so busy, but so hopeful for what my efforts might produce.
Jessie’s Nose Surgery Series continues next week with more videos.
I Want a New Nose
April 23rd, 2015
Nose Surgery Series
Dr. Bashioum’s patient, describes why she wants a new nose. Jessie writes: Why am I going through with this rhinoplasty or nose job procedure? I found numerous sources that say the nose has the greatest impact of defining ones appearance. I hate looking at my side profile in pictures. I request to be placed in the center of pictures to avoid standing in profile; otherwise I can guarantee that I will hate the picture. I want to make the appearance and the proportion of my nose better, allowing me to be more confident with my appearance. I am doing it to achieve a nicer profile to boost my self-confidence by feeling better about my appearance. I am twenty-nine years old and have worked a second job for the past two years to save for things I want and this nose job is something I want, because I have really hated my side profile for years. My dad took a particularly unflattering photo, which still haunts me today, when I was 15 years old. The photo is taken from the side and my nose looks like a ski jump. I can still imagine that picture in my head and all I can think is yuck, disgusting, gross and how unattractive.
What happened to MY nose? Everyone in my family has a great nose, so why is mine the way it is?
