As someone who loves to cook, I think it would be a great compliment if someone photographed my food. (Of course, I missed the boat years ago and my best friend and I didn't start a restaurant, so it would have to be photographed at the dinner table in my case.)

Actually, top to bottom, those are Thai, Chinese, and Vietnamese. And yes, they were good. Remember: tomorrow (or Friday), the Pizza Showdown! |

Wow, Dona, it looks great! I must ask... what made you move to Mexico? I mean it looks like you are living "the life" but.... you left Texas! We retired here for several reasons, weather, (we have no a/c or heating per se) (it does get warm in May tho), beautiful blue skies all day just about every day, and cost of living is much much much less than Dallas, hill country is too expensive and that is the only other place I'd go. We don't even have a car, take busses or walk wherever we need to, in this area. No hussle bussle, calm and tranquil life. We have been here just short of 10 years and absolutely love it. |

I can understand why you love it. I lived in Monterrey, Mexico, for two summers back in the '70's, visited Tampico for a long weekend in '71, and later visited Guadalajara and Puerto Vallarta. (We drove to Ciudad Juarez (shudder) in the mid-'90's when we went to El Paso with my brother, but Juarez doesn't really count as Mexico in my book.) I LOVED Mexico! |

Pizza time! Daughter #2 is a vegetarian, but she's also gifted at coming up with yummy dishes. Even I, the omnivore, love most of her creations. Since she's studied Italy, read up on Italy, speaks Italian, and teaches the language and culture, pizza is close to her heart. Here are some of her more unconventional pizzas. I'll vouch for them being terrific (even though I was a doubter at first). Her crusts are marvelous, and it helps that we have access to fresh cow's milk, from which she makes fresh mozarella cheese. Here's a pesto pizza:  Here's a pepper pizza:  This one's a yam pizza:  And here we have an apple pizza:  |

This is from our last trip to Disney World. It is the Strawberry Shortcake from Narcoosee's.  This is my oldest with my brother. L~ was having his 7 year birthday party for the 9th-ish day in a row.  I am sorry about the size, I haven't figured that one out yet. |

Oh, that is hysterical!
Love this thread. BrassMan, I've been known to take pictures of food in restuarants, and my dad always took pictures of my mom's special meals!
Will post pictures of food from Finland!

 This is a molcajete - a lava rock bowl, has a pig "head", put in the oven at a kazillion (400+) degrees, with cheese, meat, chicken, shrimp, octopus, mushrooms, onions, green peppers, etc., whatever you want. Put a spoon full on a tortilla and chomp down! Guess I need to figure out how to make my pictures bigger  |

I've seen my share of molcajetes, but have never seen one resembling a pig's head. I keep looking at molcajetes in stores, thinking that I really "need" one, but so far have resisted the urge. I think my 2 tortilla presses (one brought from Monterrey nearly 40 years ago) really could use the authentic companionship, but so far they're going it alone. I've never seen the molcajete used in any way other than as a vessel similar to a mortar and pestle. Muy interesante. |

There's a taquería here in town that serves a steaming dish in a molcahete. I've always wondered about the sanitary issue with such a porous cooking vessel, but perhaps the heat takes care of that. Loved the Indian series, ladyknight33! Excellent! Wouldn't it be great if life were like this?  |

I've been posting on another board where someone asked for replies from people who've lost loved ones to cancer. There are so many of us who have lost several loved ones, and the 'bowl of cherries' gets a vote from me. |

I lost my father to cancer. He would have voted for the cherries too. How about some fall garden stuff?  The citrus are satsumas: sweet, few seeds, pop out of the peel. |

Wow, those tomatoes look good! Years ago I used to have a large garden. Now I don't have one at all. I'm hoping to find some tomatoes that look like the ones in your photos.
