It was lunch time and the kitchen was bare. Well, mostly. I found some salami, mozzarella, and some artichoke hearts, lathered on a smidgen of olive oil for good measure (and because I didn’t want nor have actual olives) and slapped it all between two whole wheat tortillas, got it hot with some fire made from really old dead plants (natural gas), cut it up, took a picture, and subsequently, ate it.
It was lunch. Not so much a masterpiece of fine cooking, just lunch. Nay, it was good. I’d totally make it again. Italian-Mexican fusion. I should start a restaurant.
On a side note, I’ve decided that food photography is all macro lense in-focus/out-of-focus hokey pokey. Every. Single. Shot. Go look at TasteSpotting.com (who haven’t posted either of the two submissions I made, elitists). Find me a picture that looks well composed that is NOT selectively focused with a large aperture. Well I’m going to do something slightly different. I’m going to make sure that there is something in the distant background that is mildly interesting. See the car? I took this on our front porch. I think the car adds to the fusion theme. Now it’s Italian-Mexican-German fusion. Booyah.
