My focus is food, or anything related to what we put in our mouth every day. Food is one thing we all have in common. We all eat every day, more than once if we're fortunate. I hope to document what goes into our mouths this year, share recipes, and have a place to go to jog my memory when I don't know what to cook. The collection will be over on Flickr as a set: The Daily Bite.
Here are the first ten bites of the year:
Sorry, this one's kind of gross. But she let me pull out her tooth, and I love pulling teeth. The loss of this molar certainly affected her bite.
OK, so I'm giving myself some freedom with this project. While this is a picture of an inedible branch, it's a sign that in about five to six months, we're going to have cherries. I can't wait to take pictures of those!
Two beer related shots in ten days. Don't be surprised if you see a lot of beer in The Daily Bite set. We bite a lot of beer around here.
And that's the news from A Foothill Home Companion, "where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average", and if I might add Mr. Keillor, all the food is photographed.

These are beautiful shots! A great beginning to your project! I love the theme too.
ReplyDeleteLove it all! Even the blood.
ReplyDeletethese are impressive photos.
ReplyDeleteclever you.

ReplyDeletenot that i would expect anything less.

you have definitely upped the anty in these pictures - they are great! the blood one is gross!! I love the flickr set. fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteI love your theme. I failed last year. Am contemplating starting again when the baby is born, so I have a picture a day for her first year of life. Am I crazy?
ReplyDeleteExcellent idea!
ReplyDeleteWell, I like the theme. The blood is unappetizing, but I can understand that losing the tooth affected her bite. I wish you persistence in accomplishing your ambition!
ReplyDeleteThose photos are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese are amazing! I can't believe you like pulling teeth! It was my least favorite part of childhood. I was so terrified that I made my mother belie the toothfairy.
ReplyDeleteYou take the most gorgeous food photographs. Really.
ReplyDeleteI did the photo-a-day thing last year and despite the work, was reflecting today as I slid the last photos into the album that I'm so glad I did.
Nice photos. I love that the first beer picture looks like a beer sunrise to me. =)
ReplyDeleteum... wait.. can we go back to the part about how you love to pull teeth???? ::laughing:: I'd bite a lot of beer too hehehehe
ReplyDeleteHello! I have been one of your lurkers for years and I really love the simplicity and yet imaginative your blog is.
ReplyDeleteYou are really a talented photographer...

Well I love your new banner! The girls are all looking in perfect directions for this shot! I loooove making banners too, just what am I going to do now with my new one!? lol Your photos are fabulous, I love this idea, the first photo looks like it could be a calendar shot or a book! hmmm... this would be a great idea for a book hint hint ; ) I find some food dishes really hard to photograph, I look forward to this series.
ReplyDeleteAlways love anything you post on your blog. I am hosting an art giveaway that you might find interesting. Stop by and take a peek when you have a chance.

I love this project. Does it make you feel that you see the world with more clarity? I love the 2010 photo in blackeyed peas.
ReplyDeleteYou're so creative!! I'll enjoy your new project, I know, and look forward to duplicating some of your dishes!
ReplyDeleteThat next to last photo with the cake (?) in the pie plate?? Looks yummy! Please share what it is!
ReplyDeleteWe are food lovers, too. While we are eating our current meal, we talk about what we will eat for the next meal! :o)
I could do w/out the bloody mouth but it's all part of life, right? I love all the other shots.
ReplyDeleteDo you deal in home brew? Would love to see a post or two (maybe more?) about that whole process. My husband would love to do that.
I was noticing that you had more on flickr than the typical shots for the blog!
ReplyDeleteI tried to do a photo a day last year, and made it all the way through July before it started to disintegrate. I'm still playing with how I can do it, without putting too much pressure on myself when I fail.
Did you make tamales?
I was thinking tamales too....slurp! Beer, slurp! Bloody tooth (gah!) I luv pulling them out too but spit already! ;) Cool project, did you get the new lens yet??
ReplyDeleteLOL, love the "quote". Glad I got to be part of the tamale picture! I love the banner of the girls. Guess I'll be taking pictures of our beer soon.
ReplyDeleteI second Nancy's request for more beer info. My husband has been toying with the idea of home brew for the past couple of years, and yours looks tasty. Lovely photos of the food as well!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes me smile. :) I love your photos.
ReplyDeleteZoe is so proud whenever she loses a tooth. She's lost faith in the tooth fairy though...kinda sad really...great pics.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the inspiration...Did I ever tell you that you rock? because you do.
Rock on sister.
Wow Molly... that's some great lookin' food and drink ya got there!
ReplyDeleteWhat did you make with the peppers?
This set/project is surely going to be a favorite of mine! (even the lost teeth :) )
ReplyDeleteLovely, photos, as always. And how did the tamales go?
ReplyDelete"we bite a lot of beer around here" hahah i love that. I look forward to your set !
ReplyDeleteOk. I just love this. That's all.
ReplyDeletecheers, Molly!
(Do you do mole to go with your tamales...mostly because I want to write comments that include your name and mole, but also because that would make a lovely bite. Ok. Loopy. Must go to bed.)
I LOVE these photos! And I love your description of A Foothill Companion...sounds lovely, like my kinda place.
