January and February, 2010

In 2008, Jon and I bought a new digital camera and on a whim, decided to photograph everything we cooked. It was a means of recording the things we liked and didn't like, recommendations for the next time around, and a way to show our friends and family how we spend many, many of our waking hours. Though at first we weren't sure we'd make it the entire year, we discovered that that we really enjoyed it, especially the positive comments from our (few) loyal readers.

In 2009, we decided to take the year off. We attended something like seven weddings last summer, including our own. We had little time to relax, much less take pictures of food. But we missed it! And so, in 2010, we decided to start a real food blog--one that looks a little nicer and that people might actually want to read.

This is the first installment. We've been photographing food since the beginning of the year, but I only recently became ambitious enough to organize everything and start writing about it. In the interest of space and your attention span, these are just the highlights of the past few months.

 Here's a yummy veggie curry made by Jon.

Mmmmmm, chili.

A beautiful, buttery apple pancake.

A proper German meal (even if my bratwurst were fake).

Jon's baked whitefish and some of the best cauliflower I've ever had.

More to come soon!
