Post Your Food Photos !

as I obsessively take pictures of most everything we cook.

We like that in a person! Welcome to WLDG!

Couple of recent items in the last week...

Sweet corn soup with egg, pork and chillies

Hi all, for my first post I thought I'd jump into the Food Photos, as I obsessively take pictures of most everything we cook. This is Pad Thai we made as the first dish in our new wok over the weekend

Wow, Dana, you don't just obsessively take pictures, it looks like you obsessively take great pictures! Thanks for posting and welcome to the forum!

Salil, they look delicious. I love, love, love chick peas!

Hi Dana, I think I recognize you from a particular (ST) travel board that I frequent - glad to see you here.

Thanks all, and hi Chris! How funny, and what a small world the foodie world is.

Fries on their way to becoming chile cheese fries for dinner tonight. They were perfectly done, crisp on the outside, tender on the inside. We ate way too many.

Could you share the recipe for the chile?

Sure, Salil. It's New Mexican red chile, not Texas Chili. It can be found in this thread. We usually have green chile too, but we were out. We had some of this in the freezer from a couple weeks ago. (I now need to make more.)

We came home today and found this wonderful tray of figs at the back door - a largesse from generous neighbours.

I want your neighbors instead of the one I have. Yum!!

Beautiful dish, Dana.
As it turns out, we made Pad Thai this weekend as well. Didn't look as pretty as yours though -- but, mighty tasty. Welcome to the forum.

Cynthia, those look criminally good. I don't own a deep fryer because I don't want the power to make things like that at home--the things I can do are dangerous (dietarily speaking) enough!

No kidding! I didn't own a deep fryer until last autumn. A woman I call my Cooking Fairy Godmother* - whom I've known for 15 or more years on a cooking discussion list - sent it to me when her husband was told he had to lay off fried foods. We make onion rings, and French fries, and sweet potato fries, and falafel, and......

Yeah, it's dangerous.

*Over the years, she has also sent me piles of cookbooks and extra whisks and beaters for my Kitchen Aid mixer. When I was given a trip to Paris, she sent me all the French cookbooks she could find on Amazon, along with "The Food Lover's Guide to Paris." She is just so generous and thoughtful to everyone she knows!

About half the figs in the photo above became Pete's Fig and Rhubarb Jam :

I sooooooo want that tomorrow morning on toast!

Happiness is.... warm ricotta.

I was given a kilo of crabapples today, and we made jelly from it :

Happiness is.... warm ricotta.

Did I mention that I hate you?

You don't get warm ricotta in Montana, Stuart?

Hmm, must have forgotten to mention it. I hate you.

There. Now I feel better.

See, I'd send some to you in a vacuum sealed pack, but by the time the man with the donkey had delivered it up the steep mountain path...well...it probably wouldn't be warm anymore.
