    Meh. Anyone can take pics of food. B)

    the illustrations, otoh, are a different story. nicely done, jeff. my son got his bfa in illustration, though he wound up doing web design/art direction for a living (so far anyway).

    nice surprise for your dad! good on ya.

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    aw gee, shucks (kicks dirt). thanks

    there are a few guys in my line of work that were smart and got BFAs. i was not one of them. i went about it in a very roundabout way... took almost 20 years. ah well.

    here's a detail of that same image (the other two images posted are just one drawing)

    this is my favorite part of that image. the drawbridge was "the story", but i like the left side best

    Now them are lobsters.

    I bought two tails from Costco the other day. Was really excited. They were brown with spots and came from somewhere far away. Our mouths were watering until we found they were tough as nails even when cooked perfectly.

    From now on, it's Maine Lobster or nuthin!
    Cheers

    someone asked about cooking direct, and i realized i hadn't had crisp skin on salmon in a long time, simply because i usually plank it. so that night, or soon after anyway, i did that chunk.

    yours look better. mine was just dusted in rub.

    Pics look great... food looks delicious. I have become a huge fan of curing and brining. I bought Charcuterie by Ruhlman a few weeks ago and the processes rock!

    Your stuff looks great!

    thankd DE.

    I got Ruhlamn's book when it first came out, and it has really been addictive...

    I also picked up "American Charcuterie" by Victoria Wise, on the recommendation of LittleChef. It's a valuable resource also.
