Appetizing Muse

The other day while "housecleaning" my computer files, I came across a selection of old digital "foody" pictures. I'll be the first one to admit I'm a terrible food photographer. I can never seem to sharpen close shots, even after manipulating them with Photoshop Elements.

Nonetheless, I'm posting a few dusty samples:

I think that's enough nostalgia for one day, don't you? Perhaps I should do some present-day cooking now...
