Wow! What a rant! I think Pinterest “works” because it’s a highly visual medium. I know sometimes I look at pinned images and crave/want something! Perhaps there’s a lesson here for all of us! Anyway, I’m loving your tomatoes and jam Angela…your magic hands in the kitchen make marvellous things!

Angela, Great post! You had me cracking up. Tomato number 7 did fight you back, didn’t it;)
I also have mixed feeling about Pinterest. I so appreciate the beauty (and fantasy), but it is just another way for me to get sucked into gazing at the world through my screen instead of at life itself. Hmmmmm…
xxoo

In reply to Kiki D.. Kiki, Thank you for your comment. I think what happens is that I love all the beauty and creativity and get overwhelmed seeing so much at one time. I've been a part of the world of design and I know how much effort it really takes and so much practice. So, yes, you can improve and so can I, but we do it in the midst of a lot of real life and chaos. Happy tomato picking.

Wow.. reading this post makes me realize how we are always in search of what we don’t have.. and most times never are happy with what we have been blessed. We tend to not see that what we do have in front of us is what our God meant for us to have.. no more, no less! But we still chase after that “better than perfect world”? I think much like you that Pinterest is taken and used as a source of craving for material things of this world.. while it could/should be viewed as a source of personal expression and/or a platform to spread awareness for certain issues/topics. Not to say that I too have been disappointed when I see the pictures posted and wonder why my pictures aren’t that nice and or sat in awe at certain “things”… but it’s also a form of motivation for me to get to where I know I CAN be if I apply myself appropriately. And I must say that after this post Angela, I am so inspired to improve! I’ve never really thought about the story behind the pictures.. I would only see the perfect shot.. so thanks for making me see that other side! You are so awesome to share this with us and I can’t wait to try this recipe (after my silly tomatoes finally decide to completely show their cute little faces in my imperfect garden).. LOL
Peace and blessings

Just what I needed to read today!! The fabled life of other food bloggers and pinners makes me simultaneously fantastize about the “whimsical” life I don’t have, and want to throw my dslr across the room in a fit of unworthiness… all while being guilty of pinning and blogging only the pretty stuff out of my own life!! It all comes back to balance, as usual.
That being said, your tomato jam looks banging and I’ll probably pin it 🙂
