Food Photo Round-Up

I'm starting to move to using a real camera (as opposed to the camera on my phone) for the blog -- hopefully you've noticed. Still, when I'm excited about something I'm eating in a given moment, I'll often snap a picture with my Droid.

The problem is, these photos tend to remain on my phone, since many don't warrant a whole blog post. But they still represent fascinating meals and delicious dishes, so here is the first semi-annual Hungry Sam Photo Round-Up!

1) Sample plate of mom's Christmas cookies!  

My favorites are the decorated cutouts and the lumpy chocolate ones (called Chinese new year cookies).

FESTIVE

 2) Homemade eggs benedict, grapefruit, and mango! 

My hollandaise was a little too lemony, but still pretty tasty.

POACHED

 3) My colleague Peggy's homemade whoopie pies!

REGIONAL

 4) Tandoori chicken from Naan and Beyond (D.C.)! 

Pretty good, and not at all dry, as tandoori chicken can sometimes be.

RED

 5) Butternut squash soup from Le Pain Quotidien (D.C.)!

SOUP?

 6) TONS of sushi at California Rollin' in Rochester, NY

The ones with sauce are BBT rolls -- regular tuna rolls, tempura fried, with Dinosaur BBQ sauce on top. AMAZING.

ETHNIC! AND ANTHONY!

I hope you enjoyed the photos! Next time, maybe some pictures of food from my trip to Savannah this coming weekend. I will leave you with the traditional blessing of my people: May you eat brunch.

This reminds me that there are two mangoes in my fridge. And two delicious whoopie pies I ordered off of Etsy for Nathan. Must... not... eat... those.

ACK I've still never tried a whoopie pie. And I see them everywhere! It's torture! I'll have to find some when I'm in NYC. And that picture of Mols...LOL.
