This is why I'm Fat

There's a blog out there called thisiswhyyourfat.com and I'm thinking about changing the name of my blog to thisiswhyiamfat.blogspot.com.  And here are a couple of reasons why:

Sylvie's Double Chocolate cookies with mint?

Sylvie's Double-Chocolate Brownies

Gigi's Festive Rice Crispie Squares

Linda's Short Bread with Jelly.

Mmmmm....Linda's Butter Tarts.

More Fudge Brownies, these ones from Linda.

My co-workers Simon and Linda.

It's the holiday season and my co-workers are fantastic chefs and bakers that bring in these incredible confections that rival the pros.  Cheers to my friends at work, and happy holidays!

A slight twist on Smoked Salmon and Cream Cheese

Smoked salmon and cream cheese is a combo that's pretty common on crackers, bagels or sandwiches. I wanted to change it up a little bit so I rolled wasabi in the smoked salmon and let it sit on a bed of cream cheese and masago. The result turned out pretty tasty. This picture was taken on my birthday back in December, 2002. I was experimenting with a new camera and the flash really interfered with the image. By this time, I had cast aside the old Mavica and started using the Nikon Coolpix 4300. It's a simple point and shoot, but it produces half-decent pictures, even for today's standards. Eventually, I'll follow the rest of the lemmings and get an SLR, but not until I have a bit more cash to toss around.
