HOLLOW PEAS!!

Ah for my first actual post. Steve (my boyfriend/roommate- not steve portigal, never met the guy) and I decided to cook a Chinese meal last weekend in honor of the Olympics. Sichuan style pork with veggies.

I was julienne-ing (correct term? probably not) my snap peas for the stir fry and lo and behold the peas were hollow. It got me wondering if all peas were hollow and I just hadn't noticed before or if i purchased some sort of mutant peas. I'm going to have to start paying attention from now on when i julienne pea pods (which surprisingly is fairly often).

So out of the context of my first real post came the name for my blog. Check back for more conundrums on severed vegetables and more.

I only started a blog because steve portigal told me to

My name is Bria and I am a designer. Well I like to call myself that anyway. Being a designer, Core77 is one of my most visited websites and I ran across an article by Steve Portigal who suggested anyone interested in design research (which i am) should start a blog.

uh....okay lets do it. So in my week off in between a job with a software company and a new job (actually designing things) I decided that this would be my official task. The only problem is that I don't really have a direction so we will see where this goes. My initial plan is to go basic, post pictures, articles, advertisements, etc. that i find interesting and then tell you why i think they are interesting. Even if you don't really care that much, I'm going to tell you anyway.

Enjoy and well keep our fingers crossed that it gets more interesting down that road.
