I used to look at some of my meals and want to photograph them. When I got my first digital camera, I did! Most of the time it's breakfast I photograph. This is because I rarely cook much else on my own account. Breakfast is also my most important meal. It's always been the meal I put my effort into and which usually includes my most nutritious food. Once I start my day I am often too focussed on it's activities to worry about food and will grab things that are easy, like prepared soup (make my own soups) and things that can be cooked in 10 minutes. I used to enjoy a lot of junk food but it makes me sick now. I used to eat almost the same thing every morning but of late have been having trying various different things to ease health problems and am likely to add to these pages.
Tea is always cheap orange pekoe with milk and sweetener of some kind. I'm very fussy about my tea and will drink it only at home made in the right cup with the right kettle and the teabag removed soon after it reaches color. However, I have found an instant tea that delivers the flavour I like, chinese imported "Milk Tea" and I now enjoy this when I'm out or at work. I carry a few sachets in my purse. Oranges are always sliced the same with the core sliced off neat. Berries usually come from my garden, strawberry and raspberry. Fried eggs are usually sunny side up and noodles usually include an egg and often also garlic, tomato and maybe some greens. Grapes are always seedless and fruit is always cut to remove the pits and cores. A little effort in preparation makes the eating so much more relaxing.
These pictures may be boring, but it's just that when the oranges are arranged just so, or the eggs are fried to perfection, or the whole becomes sublime, I think "It's pretty enough to photograph." And I do. So what else does one do with a collection of pictures but share them? There is no order to these images.

This last is taken some time later. I quit doing pics because the food was too predictable and I was too hungry, but this time, gosh, it was just so pretty! I've been on a calorie restricted diet this last year to lose 50lbs, I'm down to the last 10lbs and so my breakfasts are less lavish these days, but no less tasty! |
