I guess it's squishing this pesky lamok that's been hovering around me since two minutes ago. Yeah, that's definitely more appealing.
Okay back to it's-nice-to-blog-today, I've been making halungkat our pictures (Pogiji's and mine and ours back when we were dating) and I found these:
Aren't they a beauty? They are photos of the food that we ordered in one of the local restaurants in Roslin, Scotland where we went to see the beautiful Rosslyn Chapel in 2007 (yep, that's the Da Vinci Code chapel).
These dishes are the epitome of how I want my food to become: healthy, delicious, home-made and utilizes local produce.
Something about these dishes makes them grounded. Perhaps because they are country food but I've eaten in a lot of carinderias in the probinsiyas and I don't remember any of them serving food as good as the ones in the photos (except my mom's -- my mom always cooks a masterpiece).
And this is one of the reasony why I ♥ Jamie O. For one, he cooks food like these. Very grounded, very home-made, and very healthy. I can't say very delicious yet because I haven't eaten any of the stuff he's made yet (but soon I will! yiiipeee!!!), but I'm sure they are, judging from their appearance (and I've followed some of his recipes to the letter and they turned out ...oooops, warning, R18: orgasmic).
My hope today is that in my future entries, I will be able to come up with dishes as fantabulous as the ones above. Maybe better presentation, I dunno. But I definitely have to go beyond what I already currently offer.
Di ba?
DISCLAIMER: Sorry for the blurred pics, and for lacking description. I don't remember the names of the dishes anymore.

I especially liked the presentation in photo number 1. It's so palatable. =)
I love Nigella Lawson how she cooks and present it very simplistic. You get that "homey" feeling while your watching her cook :P
i was gonna ask pa naman the name of the first dish. it looks yummy! :) kinda nice reminiscing when it's raining, don't you think? :)
Hey now! You make good food! Waaaaaay better than most people I know! And though I haven't tasted/eaten any yet (*hint*), we've tried cooking a few, and those have become home favorites.
Cheers to more fantabulous and as you say orgasnic treats in the future.
what???? you mean to say, you dont consider your dishes fab, grabe oc, heheheh joke sistah.
Rico's so right, you make good food, sa looks pa lang panalo na what more sa taste pa!
mai, my favorite chef is valentine warner, of What to eat Now. i like his show because he cooks what're currently in season. aside from sharing the same name, i think he's hot too. ^-^
doncha worry though, i'm buying J.Oliver's sauces for my cooking, i've long wanted to try his pesto!
those dishes look very very fresh!! Looking at those photos made me think: comfort food. yummy!
Garandee's a big fan of Jamie and Nigella too.
