Okay! I decided it's time to jump in the game. This morning I was finishing up a chicken soup (from a stock I had created yesterday from a whole roasted chicken I made for lunch) and I decided to put together a little fancy breakfast. Here're some pics and info about what I made
The egg dish is a spinach and sausage (jalepeno-mango chicken/turkey sausage) frittata with carmelized onions and a little bit of sharp cheddar cheese.
The other dish is roasted sweet potatoes and yams with shallots and a bit of heirloom varietal purple garlic, rosemary and a slight bit of olive oil.
The coffee is single origin, locally roasted Ethiopian Yergecheffe.
Here's the cool thing. The only added fat is the bit of cheddar cheese (maybe 1/3 of an oz) and the olive oil, less than a tsp. The yield was somewhat greater than the pictures show.. but I am currently devouring the last little bits
Oh, and no, I didn't magically get a table.. that's my little kitchen cart - I decided it was a better backdrop than my computer desk _________________

Oh... some more fun - here are some of my favorite food and table pics I've taken in the last couple of years:
It's so much work to do, but it's so pretty when you're done. Yum. Made this far a family garden party in 2007.
Pretty table setting and food preparation for having some friends over one weekend. Yum.
Christmas Eve dinner shot from December 2007. I've made a point of trying to get this difficult low light shots at Christmas because they're so neat. Not so much a food shot, but an eating environment shot
The only one not taken at home: The aftermath of an espresso tasting (3 different espressos) I had in March at Seattle Coffee Works on Pike. _________________

Those are awesome!
I love a Caprese Salad! So tasty and refreshingly light. You already know I love green beans because I threw them on the side of the steak I prepared. Great pics.
Since I have a couple of foodie outings planned in this month I'm going to try and remember to take some pics, if I don't forget before I inhale the food.

Oh I missed these tasty looking breakfast pics. Great melange of flavors. Yum.

I used this French Brie (Brie Couronne) when I made a Jambon de Paris/Brie Baugette Sandwich. It was a good match with the French ham and crusty bread.
