“Hey everybody, this is important!”
Food is on the table
Getting ready to pray
When I look at the spread before us
And notice
Hey, this is a bi-color dinner!
Quick, grab the camera!
People need to know!
Edamame – green
Massaged kale salad – verdurous with splashes of bright yellow (mango) and sage green (pepitas)
Italian quinoa salad – social butterfly yellow, green pepper green, yellow corn
This is my unintentional bi-color dinner, everybody!)
Within arm’s reach, a shaker of homemade celery powder, made in my dehydrator
Over to the side
Popcorn – hints of soft yellow amidst the white explosions speckled with Fire Dancer seasoning
Then I realize, WHOA!
Coincidentally
The plates are
Green plate swirls
and
The Pyrex bowl containing the roasted kale (brown green), you ask?
Cut the Mustard gold
I love all the beautiful colors in Pyrex!
I exclaim, “Hey, guys! This is really important!
But no one else noticed,
Neither, the Hubs nor the orange hair, freckle face OS cared.
They were just hungry. Phooey.
This blog post was brought to you by the colors yellow and green and by the word observant
Find your colors at Sherwin Williams and this amazing app on Sherwin Williams ColorSnap. I didn’t know about this app until I started writing this post. But you can use your smart phone to match real-world colors with paint colors. All for free! You can take a picture of your dinner (like I did) and it will tell you the names of the corresponding paint colors! How cool is that!

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve started to serve dinner only to realize that the whole meal is yellow. Or brown. Or whatever. And when I make a comment to the husband and the boys about the color of the meal (or lack of color in the meal) they look at me like I’ve grown a third eye. It must be a female thing!
Or tan or a sort of beige! I’ve heard that the more colorful the food is on your plate, the more healthy it is. I get you, gf! Thanks for writing! Next time take a pic of your dinner and check out the app. You might be surprised to find there is more color in that meal than you think! ❤
