Focaccia

Continuing my failing efforts to take good photos of beautiful food.

I am not hungry.

Food

Charlotte makes excellent food. I try to take photos. I am crap at taking photos of food, and it’s something I want to get better at. So many people on Instagram take these excellent, effortless photos of food and I consider it unfair.

A little outtake, which I thought had a certain charm. Or an indication of a lack of awareness of the Live View feature on a camera. Plus, yellow socks. I love them.

Cake!

A pedant might call it a gateau, I guess. Still; looks nice.

First Proper Meal

Jasper — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 09:11:05 +0000

We’ve been having our kitchen re-fitted for the last two weeks, which has meant takeaway pretty much every night. It has lead me to the conclusion that takeaway should only be an occasional thing. It is not nice food to eat regularly, let me tell you.

Hey, Hot Shot

Jasper — Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:44:36 +0000

Remember that scene in Hot Shots! Part Deux at the start where Charlie Sheen is going to bare-knuckle fight that guy in some warehouse or wherever? And before they start fighting they dip their hands in sweets? That’s what my lunch today reminded me of.

It’s important to bear in mind that sometimes I just like wandering round taking photos of whatever. With the 50mm 1.8 on the D700 is a lovely, light (it is, shut up) camera. These hopefully won’t be the best photos I take all week, but they’ll be amongst the most fun I had holding a camera, for sure.

Also, fuck you I know my lawn is a mess. I hate gardening.

Breakfast

Here’s the deal. If you say you’re going to allow yourself a lie-in, you’ll be up at 6am. Wide awake. So that’s what I do on weekends now. I’m pretty easy to trick like that.

I made this thing. It’s a Facebooks page for this here website. A friend brought it to my attention that RSS is too nerdy for some people, but Facebooks is OK. So I guess I’ll use that to syndicate this for people on the Facebooks. If you like what I’m doing here, it sure would make me happy if you liked me officially. Because I like you so much, I’ll make it real easy. Here’s a button for ya (not in your RSS reader):

And here’s a photo of some food I ate. What a morning.

The Posh Omelette

I do love a good omelette. Hello, protein.

I cannot wait until we get our new kitchen. These work surfaces are so ugly it hurts sometimes.

Tuesday

In the west wing again. Dog has conjunctivitis. I used Reggae Reggae ketchup in lieu of Humous as a dipper. Failure all-round.

The Correct Antidote

Jasper — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 08:28:25 +0000

The correct antidote to walking around in the sun all morning is, of course, an afternoon watching (surprisingly) crappy movies and eating delicious, home-popped popcorn. Apparently popcorn is healthy. Healthier than Toblerone, I suppose.
