Take 2: Respectful Linner Pics
Ok, after I wrote last night's Linner post, I couldn't get off my brain how the pasta really couldn't be seen. When I buy a cook book, the first thing I look for is pictures of every single dish. I really dislike it when you are left on your own to know if your recipe product looks like the recipe writer intended. Sometimes I make an exception, really only for vintage cook book sales or garage sales. So, anyway .... I wouldn't wanna make pasta looking at the pics I posted last night, I'd want to make sauce lol!!! And I just wanted to inspire some pasta makin' ... wonton style, it's easy ...look into it ... and now, my attempt to give the ravioli I made some respect take a look ... other than that I just did an interview that should appear in USA Today soon, I'll let ya know when it drops. I told the guy I have a hole in my bottom lip and make a mess when I eat ... he actually thought I meant a piercing or a stud ... I was like, nah maaaaaan you know, a hole? The food drips through?? teeheehee ... he said he just didn't know what I meant cuz people talk strange these days, and he's right, they do. Almost need a new dictionary ... anyway, thought it was actually an old saying, the whole hole in the lip thing ... who knows, had fun talking to the interviewer. He has a love for New Orleans just like I do, so it was a good love fest on the phone. Glad I do a show on my love of New Orleans, even better it's the debut episode .... alright, here's the pics I was tryin' to leave before I got on a tangent ...

Thanks for the wonton inspiration earlier! I think I might just have to put a little somethin' somethin' together. I have a bunch of butternut squash puree that I need to use up. Gotta love Williams Sonoma.
hey girl!!! my better pics did the trick lol! yeah, you already know, butternut squash is like pasta's bff ... that's gonna taste good, some nuts and bacon is what i'd add .... lemme know what you do with it, send a pic if you have one. and about wm. sonoma .... i once bought a canister of crystalized ginger ... it sat and sat and sat in my cabinet, even packed it when i moved cross country, finally worked it into a dish. they should do smaller sizes at w.s., huh? still love em, i go to the one across from cafeteria in nyc, usually take myself out for brunch, then cross the street to indulge ....
Hey Sunny!
I am gradually making my way through your blog posts :-) I have to agree with you, I don't like recipe books without pictures. It is a real turn off.
I borrowed a book from my bff and was so disappointed when I looked through it and it only had like 10 pictures in the middle. I put it down and haven't looked at it since!
miss twists, hey! welcome to the blog!! glad you agree about pictures in cookbooks ... it's like why even do that? the only time i make and exception is if it's a vintage cookbook and the recipes and style are the value, not a picture of how it should look when done. now that i'm planning a cookbook, i can see how people don't do a picture for each ... it's expensive and usually means an expensive cookbook. i'm going to do my best to get pics on all my recipes and keep the price down at the same time ... wish me luck!!! have fun reading the posts and thanks so much for the support!
