last night for dinner we had guac and chips, tom kha, and berry pie.
whiskeygoat came over to eat and made sure i put enough salt in everything (my mom never put salt in anything and thus i'm prone to forget it). i like making pies because i think they're beautiful. plus, i took my mom's huge marble slab last time i visited (she was complaining about sitting bowls down on it too hard and breaking them) so i feel like a real pastry chef even though all i know is how to make a good pie crust.
it does appear that what i need for better food photography (besides more personal creativity) is more light in my kitchen. i brought in a lamp for the pie pic.
