Hello followers. Another week, another round of food.  Not much else going on. Hopefully getting the subaru fixed today because there is a lot of snow coming our way.  Also passes and snowboarding coming soon for real this time! We get a semi-break between now and mid February.  We had a fish-etarian stay with us for 10 days which was a fun challenge (no sarcasm intended), so there are more veg friendly meals than usual.

  3. Again, all I can say in Mmm-m-m-m-m! I like the photos as well. I assume you're taking the pics, Leah. Good idea to use white plates for the food, keeps it a very clean, sharp, simple, elegant background. Of course, some of the lighter foods might show up better on darker china, but that would be nitpicking in a Gourmet Magazine way. ;-)

    I'm going to link your blog to my blog so people who like food can get their mouths watering over the pictures. (Don't get too excited. If I get two readers of my blog in a day, that's a lot.)

    Happy Birthday, Leah. Twenty-one, eh? That snuck up on me. Seems like only yesterday you were a little kid.

    Love,
    Chris

    1. Yes I (Leah) have been taking the pictures. We were only provided with white plates, but we are thinking about investing in some black ones.

      I can't believe I'm going to be 21 in less than a month either! seems like yesterday i turned 18 and graduated high school!
