I love to cook! And in addition to loving to cook, I love taking pictures! “But how are they related?” you ask. Good question!

There is a fantastic store in town here called Vinaigrette which specializes in olive oils and vinegars from all over the world. There are varieties that are infused with all kinds of flavors making them amazing to use in all sorts of cooking. There are so many different nummy choices, I would be thrilled to stock my cupboard with all of them! Because that description comes more from my taste buds and my belly than my brain, let me post a little blurb from their website to describe what they do:

Vinaigrette is a retailer of specialty, imported olive oils and vinegars, as well as olive based skin and hair care products. We have brought the finest, freshest and most unique olive oils and vinegars from around the world to the Minneapolis / St. Paul, Minnesota market. We have a commitment to the consumer to provide an exceptional product with exceptional service.”

And the reason this is related to me taking pictures is because the store has kindly agreed to let me put up a display of some of my images in the store! Starting next weekend, February 6th/7th, I will have some lovely images on display (and for sale) at the store and would love for people to come out and visit. Just think, while you are there you can try all kinds of fantastic oils and vinegars as well as see me and my art! One of the neatest aspects of the store is that you get to try all of the different vinegars and oils right there so you know what you like and want to take home. For more information about them visit Vinaigrette’s website. Their hours are: Monday to Saturday – 11:00 Am – 7:00 PM and Sunday – 11:00 AM – 5:00 PM. If you plan to stop by, either give me a jingle or send me an email and I can make sure to be there when you are!

And because I have a rule that no post is complete without some photos, here are a few sample images of what will be on display:
