Bright Yellow Fruit Salad
I like yellow. Not mellow yellow, but the bright sunshiny kind. It’s irresistible! Like fruit salad. Also irresistible. Plus, easy to make. Just chop any fruit up, mix together in a bowl and eat.

Food Photography

Pad-thai with tofu
In a food mood today, so I snapped these photos of what I made for dinner. It’s a vegetarian Thai dish, often found at street corners in Thailand for a few bats. It’s my favorite. When I found the recipe in the most recent IKEA Family (page 76) magazine I knew I had to make […]

Lemonade or as we say blandsaft
