Cooking
So am I daft or what?! I just found out that my camera has one of those macro buttons. I thought surely, that was some fancy thing only very expensive cameras had. Nuh-uh. Mine does too. It's the little flower one. And it makes a world of a difference - now I can actually get as close to the food as I'd wanted to get, but never could! Horray! Not that I'm promising this place is going to start looking like some sort of gourmet magazine or anything, but I thought I'd share the news - maybe I'm not the only one that hasn't fully understood the capabilities of my fairly standard digi-cam?
And uh - Rachel taught me how to post multiple pictures, too. Man, soon this blogging business will be child's play!:-)
One more thing - a lot can be learned from the newly established Food Blog S'cool - so if you haven't already checked it out, do!
- Goodbye, Gourmet
I am definitely going through the five stages of grief. I could not believe the news on Monday that Gourmet was closing--denial. I quickly became angry. How dare they! Don't they know how important that magazine is? Bargaining came next. Why didn't...
- Out With The Old, In With The New...camera
new camera! These are the last photos taken with the old camera...thank goodness. What a difference a good camera makes. My birthday dinner: I didn't get the new camera until after dinner!! vegetarian Italian wedding soup yuba-wrapped Veat breast...
- Just Like 7th Grade Home Ec Used To Make
Forgive the crappy picture! Bad lighting, still no photo-box (Matt promises it's coming soon), bad camera. Sticking with 'some sort of made-at-home, take-out style food' for Fridays (SciFi goes well with that sort of thing, you know), instead...
- Wine Blogs At The Wine Writers Symposium
Here's a talk I gave at the Wine Writers Symposium about blogs and wine writing. This isn't a transcript but an idealized form of a presentation that's fresh in my mind. I wrote it as I intended to speak it—maybe I should have formatted...
- Bienvenida A Miami!
The first sight of land, after 12 hours of air-borne time. Not too bad. Right now, we're in Lighthouse Point, Florida - it's been kind of hard finding wi-fi access (something I thought would be as easy as scratching your ahem, but there you go!)...
