Cooking is like love. It should be entered into with abandon or not at all. —--Harriet Van Horne

Intentions

I intended to make Swedish meatballs tonight but the pork and beef did not defrost, so that will have to wait.  Stay tuned for the meatballs tomorrow.  Until then....

And what i ate today.....

What I ate today

"What did you eat today?"  Do people really ask each other this?  Do you post your lunch on your social networks? Do you think people care?


I have to admit that I do, now and then, ask; being keenly interested nutrition, fresh foods, and cooking.  The main goal of this blog is not to show you what I ate today, but to get myself back in the habit of picking up a camera (any camera) a few times a day.  Food is not my muse.  Photography is and photographing food is hard.  I mean really hard.  It takes a lot of perspicacity, and attention to detail to do right.  There are rules (lets call them guidelines), and tricks, and whole host of lighting and composition challenges.     


As food photography is totally outside of my photographic comfort zone, I am including photos of "What I ate today."  Another challenge will be making things I eat every day into different compositions.  (Yogurt in the grass, yogurt on the chair, yogurt upside down)


There is one other reason.....

Grilled Peach and Chicken Salad

 

This is my first attempt at food blogging and food photography, so bear with me.  

I have only started to entertain the idea of fruit and lettuce.  I think because we only ate iceberg lettuce growing up.  We made this salad green of 3 varieties. It was really good. We managed to over grill the peaches.  So don't do that.  

Here's What You Need (with pictures!):
