what does your blog look good in?

This month's Does My Blog Look Good In This? (often known as dmblgit) is being hosted by Andrew over at Spittoon Extra.

My pickings for December were a bit thin, but I managed to come up with one action shot of my friend Jessica rolling out some danish pastry dough.

Entries so far are here, as is info for those of you who want to enter a picture.

the incredible, edible cake: recipe and backstory

This is a well-loved cookbook. When I pick it up to bake a cake--it's usual purpose--I can tell which page I need based on how the pages feel. Can you tell that this page is where my favorite cake lives? It also happens to be the cake that was selected as most edible in the most recent DMBLGIT? competition and I've been promising the recipe so I'd better get on with it.

apparently MBDLGIT!

Wow! I am honored to have one of my photos selected as most edible in the August's edition of Does My Blog Look Good In This. As usual, this group of DMBLGIT entries has some gorgeous photography; I am so glad I didn't have to pick!

I am particularly tickled by the judge's comments, "Now THAT is what in-focus looks like. Very graphic and powerful." because I am still rather new at this whole "good photography" thing and thus focus and framing are somewhat hit and miss. I'm freshly inspired to go cook something just so I can take pictures of it.

Two days left to look marvelous

...and you do look marvelous, you know... as does this chunk of bread, which has no purpose but to give me an excuse to post a picture of my bread that has "holes for the little people to live in" as my good friend J says. It's taken a while to be able to pull this crumb off reliably and easily, but is it ever worth the effort!
