Day 53/365

Made some shawarma meatballs this weekend and the oil from the meat after being in the oven gave it a very odd shape. That peaked the desire to take a picture to realize that the photo balance is completely out of whack.

Day 47/365

I didn’t realize the beets were photographed so badly until I was looming at it again. However, its what we have. It also serves as a reminder that I should eat more beets as they are so delicious. Plus, then I can do a take 2 of this. Perhaps vegetables in general might be fun to photograph.

Day 46/365

Oh..I do love food photography. While this wasn’t plated and has a rather messy feeling somehow I do like it. These are some Dan Dan noodles that we made . It might not look like much but it was really delicious.

Day 38/365

This is turning into a foodie week or something. Today’s photo is banh mi from a relatively newer Vietnamese family restaurant that I hadn’t been to before. I also got the vermicelli but forgot to take a picture before eating it. I am loving the food feature on my phone.

Day 37/365

A quick Costco visit has lead to discovering pineberries. I did some research and they are relatives of strawberries but has hints of pineapple, pear and apricot. I have yet to try it but looking forward to it.

Day 36/365

One time in the year for Chinese New Year, my mom makes fried taro shrimps. Its a huge hit with family if we still had any living in town so with healthy living and such, the batch has decreased to just a few for congee. They do make for some lovely looking food picture especially contrasted with the congee.

Day 21/365

A random picture for the most part as I scooped up the glutinous rice balls for Lunar New Year’s Eve and though it formed like a flower. Tried to use the food feature to take it but the steam was making it a tad blurry.

Day 14/365

Playing around with the food feature in the phone’s camera. I use the Samsung Galaxy S21. While I take a lot of food pics usually, I never had tried it out and it turned out pretty cool. These are Hong Kong style Rice Rolls. Definitely going to play with this feature more.

Day 13/365

Homemade pizza day as my husband continues to attempt to perfect his pizza dough. Our toppings always change but I do have to say this looks pretty inviting with the little mushroom slices, green pepper contrasting the red and orange from the tomato sauce, pepperoni and the cheese (mine is lactose-free mozzarella).
