Like the time when...I have wonderful food memories. Like the time when my dad used to take me out to breakfast on Saturday mornings (w/o my mom who got to sleep in). He'd take me to this one particular McDonalds with a "train" inside so we'd always sit there and I'd have pancakes and patty sausage in a foam container. Or how about my memories of me and my grandmother making pot stickers and wontons from scratch? And how after wards I'd have an eating contest with my grandfather to see who could eat the most? I'm happy to report that we have now started new food traditions and I hope that one day M will recall them fondly. Come to think of it, maybe that's why I love to photograph the food at celebrations.christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10217012553723666813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604255956226638420.post-37199840859327257422009-12-24T09:51:45.870-05:002009-12-24T09:51:45.870-05:00Zach and I love exploring different foods, and of ...Zach and I love exploring different foods, and of late (to join the bandwagon) have been adjusting ourselves with glee to recommendations in Michael Pollan's wonderful books. Two years in a row now I've failed to launch my project to photograph our cooking processes and final meals to assemble a recipe book for our families. I think this is the year though (2010, I mean) because we've added a little more "seasonal" eating to our diet, and have been learning to cook and to like things formerly unexplored, like kale, turnips, beets and winter squashes. So, come January, I'll be photographing a couple of meals each month for a 12-month recipe book due out at Christmas time next year!<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your own thoughts and inspiring me!
