Annie Smith: What’s in Your Fridge Friday?
A few months ago, I stumbled upon I Live Here: PDX, a blog that tells the stories of people who live in Portland, and tweeted that I thought it would be a cool project for someone to start for Austin.
I met Annie online and volunteered to write my own I Live Here story. It took a few months, but I finally wrote my story this week, and she photographed me yesterday at the Cathedral of Junk, where I lived when I first moved here six years ago. She posted the story this afternoon.
Anyone can submit their love letter to Austin; all you have to do is email Annie to get things started.
Annie is still on the hunt for a tech job that suits her, but in the mean time, she’s making beautiful photographs wherever she goes.
When I asked if I could show off her fridge, she hesitated when she opened it up and didn’t find much in there. After all, she just got home from a trip and is used to living across the street from a grocery store. “I still haven’t gotten re-accustomed to this ‘drive to the store and stock up concept’,” she says.
What three things are always in your fridge?
1) Cornichons, preferable Maille. I fell in love with cornichons while living in France and haven’t recovered. Go try them immediately. No really. Go. Now.
2) An avocado. Salad, sandwiches, eggs, toast - everything is better with avocado. I usually get the Haas because they are enormous, and for some reason I also have a knack for picking them when they are just right. I can’t seem to master the art of selecting the smaller ones.
3) Amy’s Veggie Lasagna. Technically in the freezer, not the fridge, but it’s my go-to “I’m in a hurry and I’m starving” frozen meal. Love. Favorite condiment? Mustard. Honestly I’m surprised I only have 2 types in the fridge today, I usually have 3 or 4.
Hardest food to photograph? I’ve never been able to get a good photo of pizza. Drives me crazy! But I do have an idea of what I’ll try next…
