Joy

How does it feel to experience Joy?

To be caught up in one of several moments

Taking snap shots of my surroundings

Reflecting

Like being inside a vaccum sealed bubble

Paul is on the couch reading a book

The girls are sleeping

The sun is filtering through the windows

The garden is pretty and green

It is blissfully quiet.

I am sitting on the red ball

Taking in all 360 ‘ views

Breathing softly and

Smiling widely

Since the age of 9, I picked up a camera and never looked back. To me, a  photograph is like moving images in a film. When I look at one, either physically in my hand or on a computer screen, I can see, feel and experience things as if they were unfolding before my very eyes.

Enjoy

My fascination and love of food flourished at a very young age, where I would eat til I burst and then start all over again! We’ll nothing much has changed apart from fine tuning my photography and documenting how dishes are prepared, cooked, presented and consumed in my home and that of my family and friends.

While I was born in Australia, my parents herald from Malta, a small old world place in the Meditteranean. I grew up accustomed to stewed rabbit, baked or fried fish, minestrone soup, baked rice, macaroni, egg stew, chicken noodle soup, pastizzi and meat with crispy potatos.

Through Paul, his mother and my family and friends, I have learnt the Joys of Cooking and Eating. I hope you enjoy my photographs and commentary. Some of the asian dishes have come from my mother in laws kitchen and others are a result of my own adventures.

It is my dream in the near future, to provide a resource on asian cooking that I have experienced from my husbands motherland ~phyllis
