A is for Apricot

Well, made if through the first letter of the alphabet. Apricots are yummy. I hate to say I'd never bought them fresh before. I was missing out. What I was not missing out on however was turning on the oven in July. Maybe this is a Fall recipe. Or just when its not 30+ degrees outside.
The recipe is Apricot & Almond Bread Pudding. I added raisins..and vanilla sauce... both necessities.

Link to the recipe from Cooks.com <-------- LINK I also ordered an umbrella/stand to get goin with lighting. Here I'm only using 2 cameron continuous lights and a small diffuser. And the light from the cloudy day outside.

Back in the saddle - with a new project

Wow, haven't posted since Feb 2010! What have I been up to - just a little TV show. Got a new kitchen!! woot woot. Show will air in December 2010 on the W network. Which means that I now have no excuse to not be photographing my arse off.

New project - since I don't yet feel up to the grueling 365 projects. How about a 26 project? Go through the alphabet and photograph 2 things for every letter.

Each letter must have a photo of the item (lets say A is for Apple) One photo of the apple and 1 photo of the item in a receipe.. ie apple pie YUM!

Goal is to finish this in 52 weeks. And of course build up my portfolio.
Start date July 17th.

This means off to the market tomorrow.
I'm thinking apricots to start. Apples are too easy.

NO EASY FOODS!!!
