Bittersweet Conclusion

10 Aug

Over the weekend i went to my sister in law baby shower,where i was the photographer of the night.   This has been the first time that i was at a social gathering  where it was surrounded by food since my transition, and boy was it tough. Even though i was the photographer there was still time for me to sit back and relax with my fam and eat. At first i was worried that i would not find much to eat that were meat free, but they had that covered.  For the first time in my life, i headed to that infamous vegetable tray that no one ever goes to, as well as the fruit and cheese tray. But then the host of the party muttered 3 words that changed the night for me: “Homemade Crab Ragoon”. Yep, these 3 words had me go in overdrive, here comes the sweet Cuban pastries, and fried seasoned dough  …. To say the least, i was full before the main courses  was actually ready, which made me  free to take pics of the event all night long. Once the cake was rolled out  i couldn’t take another bite, my body was still  working on the appetizers. Poor thing hadn’t had this much work to do in months . So i came to the conclusion that night, more fruits and veggies and less fried carb goodness. All in all It was a bittersweet conclusion to a fun filled night!
