Well hi there. It's great to see you again. It's been roughly two months since I last posted, and if I am being honest, I didn't cook much during that time.

You may recall my trip from last year, when I posted about 10 Tips and Techniques That Improved My Food Photography, and told you about delicious grEATings™ as I launched ... view more
