an open letter to my dear food-photog Andrea:

Dear Andrea,

Several times a week my Facebook page is graced with your annoyingly beautiful photos of food.  I get it.  You're a great baker, a great cook, and an awesome photog.   Which means I get to eye all your pears and cherries and scones on teal saucers with envy - wishing I had the motivation or skills to whip up something as beautiful to look at as it must be to eat.  

Well, Andrea, today's the day.  

Feast your eyes on my Red Dye #5 cakey Zingers:

That's right, Andrea.  You may have sparkly photos of home made ice cream made from cows you milked at a recent trip to a farm...apples you plucked from an orchard...and fresh baked breads and desserts made from stone ground flour...but do you have a photo that captures your recent stop at the L&L with a macro shot of the salted goodness that is crunchy corn nuts?

Or better yet...do you have beer bokeh?

Anything you can do, I can do...sorta.

Love,

Crystal

This made me chuckle. :) Thanks for a much needed laugh to start my day!

never did "get" corn nuts OR zingers... nor for that matter scones :) come to think of it, we didn't do much in the whole way of dessert or treats... sorry! forgive me? i *do* remember you telling me you wished you'd had a mother who baked. fell short there, too, i'm afraid :)

I think the Red Dye #5 cake zingers is my favorite photo... Brilliant. In more ways than one.
