Happy Christmas Dinners!
Christmas Eve dinner:
And Christmas dinner: …is in the oven.
St Stephen’s Day Update:
Okay, American food just doesn’t photograph well. Even the most superior piece of beef just looks like a lump of brown sitting on a platter. (Unless I was going to slice it open and watch it cool as I arrange it on a plate so you could see how excellently rare-medium-rare it was surrounded by its side of potatoes au gratin and sauteed string beans, which I wasn’t gonna do)

Superior presentation.! Have a fine Boxing Day. I got a 1/72 scale model of the SS Gato. I’ve gathered the cats together and we’re going to work on our destroy things Half is working on issues. This sucker is going to be 4.3 ft. I’ll likely donate it to the skool libary.

That sounds like a perfect present, Half.

This is where your gold-rimmed china comes in handy. A reddish light is also helpful. Stacks of what ever bread you’re having is also diverting.

Yeah. And enough light that you don’t have to use the flash or weed out all the blurry ones.
I guess this is why Thanksgiving and Christmas recipe cookbooks always have photographed a bunch of itch-inducing centerpieces that look like a turkey ate the Poconos and then threw up.
Gotta love the Japanese zen approach to food.

LOL!
And yes, I wants Japanese food to mull, soup to photograph, roast beef to eat.

Thai soups are the best to photograph. All those fresh herbs bobbing around. Actually, a good miso is quite colourful as well…
