I've always believed you CAN have your food and eat it too. Surely, I'm not the only one nutty enough to take pictures of food before it's eaten. Surely some other wacky folks here will have their own shots. Here's what I'm talking about: a cranberry/apple pie with vanilla ice cream, and a bottle of cherry lambic, a champagne-like dessert beer. Yummy!  |

Hmmm. Maybe I really am the only wacky food-photographer here. One other Boarder contacted me by pm to say she was going to take a picture or two in the future. That's cool. For the time being, then, maybe I'm doing this just for myself. OK, then. Here's Father's Day food, or as my family calls it, Fathead's Day. It's self-explanatory, except for the pie, which is key lime, with a good dose of mango blended in. Thanks, Daughter #2! I say again: you CAN have your food and eat it too!    |

Looks delicious! I haven't taken any photos of Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, or any other big holiday food spreads for awhile since I usually make most of the food now that my mother, mother-in-law, and sister are gone. Megan and her sister bring some food, too, but I've been too busy to photograph it all. Will have to change my ways if this thread lasts long enough! I guarantee you I'll have some 4th of July food photos, though.

Good deal. Can't wait to see them!
After spending all that time cooking and making the food look scrumptious, why let it get away when it's so easy to shoot a picture? Maybe we'll encourage some other KBoarders to shoot some. After a little practice, I'm not even embarrassed to snap the food in a restaurant. Some day I'll post some.
Cheers!

Yum! This thread is making me hungry. By the way, how do I make pictures smaller on here? These are way too big, and I did a search but couldn't find anything. Thanks! Wait! I figured it out. Answered my own dumb question.   This is a picture of a rice pot thing. I have no idea what the actual name is or if there is one in English. I was on vacation in South Korea and thought this was so neat I had to take a picture. The rice is inside. You take it out of the pot, put it in another bowl, leave the burned rice in the pot, add water, close it and then at the end of the meal open it back up and it's like rice soup.  This is a picture of dessert or at least dessert for this restaurant. It's noodles in a cold, somewhat sweet broth. I prefer chocolate cake, but this was pretty good, too.  This is the best duck I have ever tasted. You cook it at you table and you can dip it in the sauces and then wrap it in lettuce.  Here's the dog we picked up to eat. I'm just kidding! I swear! I just always get the question, "Don't Koreans eat dog?" I couldn't help myself.  |

That's a dog?? It looks like a baby seal after an encounter with a blow dryer. |

I was going to ask if surely the dog was an aperitif.  That's a JOKE, OK? We had a friend, a math prof colleague, who was from China. Regrettably, he left to become an actuary, for serious dough. He cooked up a big dinner at our place several times, using things we just had to trust him on. For example:  . He claimed not to be exactly a marvelous cook, but he could have fooled us. It was the WAY he planned a menu that I found interesting. He strove for balance: something cold with something hot, something sweet with something sour, smooth and rough, hot and cold, colorful and plain, on and on. (I don't know if he ever went for umami and non-umami.) The results were always surprising and frequently excellent. Here's a beef dish, pot stickers, a pork dish, and seaweed soup:     And here he is going crazy. (If anyone prefers these pictures smaller, let me know. I think the size helps one "taste" them!)  |

What kind of rice/steamer/cooker etc. did you get? Have you looked online for the manual/user's guide? |

I love Tex/Mex and authentic Mexican food, so those photos are making me hungry! My peach pies are getting close to going in the oven, and will try to remember to photograph them before we leave tonight. Spinach dip's finished, eggs are hard-cooked and ready to turn into deviled eggs, crab dip ingredients are gathered together, and the fruit for the fruit salad is soon to be washed. Hope I can find an available flat surface so that I can photograph it. (If I think of it, I'll take my camera to my best friend's home. She is a wonderful cook, and the spread will be gorgeous. She's the woman who did the buffet (photos earlier in this thread) at Megan's wedding.)

I keep reading people posting places saying "I saw someone taking pictures of their food in a restaurant the other night. They should get a life!" But I find that so funny, because a lot of people actually do this like other people might take pictures of architecture or the like. I wish my History professor from last semester (and probably this semester coming up if she'd leave Greece and answer my emails!) was on this board. She travels all the time and her husband keeps a log of just about everything they eat in pictures. She would give slide presentations in class and invariably start each one with a half dozen shots of food from all over the world. It was pretty interesting. So some folks say crazy, I say keep taking those pictures!
