Hello, long neglected blog. I've been busy with spice kits and other creative endeavors.
Here are some quick shots of food served at my annual Oscar party last night. I didn't have time to shoot everything but it will give you an idea of the offerings. The theme was French food, inspired by the movie Julie & Julia.
Yes, I wore pearls.
