More fiddling with pictures. On this one I didn’t use the flash and let pshop auto correct the levels. The color is a wee bit off – vanilla ice cream isn’t quite that yellowy and the rim on the plate is green. Note on that – those pyrex plates are ones that I’ve been eating […]
I don’t have the patience for lovely staging of food photos for my blog. I tend to just snap a quick shop before digging in. The flash always winds up washing everything out until it all looks white. Believe me, though, when I tell you that this cake tastes amazing and actually looks fairly pretty. […]
Yesterday, I had to work. This is not normal for a Saturday, but it was a special case. Being that I had to be there super early and would not finish before the farmer’s market closed, this means that I had to wake up super early to make it to the market before work. After […]
The weather is still horrible. It was raining all day yesterday and must have been about 40 degrees. I was freezing, but braved the ick for opening day of our local farmer’s market. I nearly had the place to myself. As I had expected, most of the produce was trucked in from much further south. […]
By the time I get finished cooking, I’m always too hungry to remember to get a picture. I tend to remember it when I am looking down at a half eaten dinner. The menfolk have obviously decided that if they want anything other than a sandwich, they are going to have to start doing the […]
I’m still dealing with the lack of interest in food. I don’t watch food network as much as before, nor do I surf the food blogs as much. If something strikes my fancy in the little perusing I actually do, I’ll throw myself into it with zeal. However, nothing has really struck my fancy for […]
I went to Gran’s for turkey day, that means that my own turkey had to wait. We cooked it today, just a turkey breast. Pop rigged us up a safe turkey frying contraption rather like Alton’s. And of course, we did that thing that all people do when they deep fry a turkey – we […]
Yeah, I’ve been slacking on the blog lately. I haven’t been cooking all that much lately due to some problems I’ve been having with my stomach. Seems that my gall bladder has to come out, I’ve been passing stones as of late and I’m not enjoying it one little bit. Food has been pretty minimalistic […]
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes you try to asphyxiate your guests. This weekend was filled with experimentation for me. Let’s start with the pumpkin. Or not. See, I went to the farmer’s market in search of pie pumpkins. I was determined to give another shot to making a pumpkin pie from scratch, it’s […]
Dad and I have been rather bummed since all of the Winn Dixie stores here have gone belly up. This means no more Palmetto Farms Pimento Cheese for us. It truly is the best brand that we’ve ever found and we’ve tried nearly all of them available in this market. Over the weekend, I picked […]
