I like searching a lot of the different food blogs that are out there, and trying new things. The other day I was going through one and found a recipe for Homemade Oreos! I thought that sounded interesting enough to give a try, and was especially pleased when I realized I had all the ingredients on hand already. That's a win-win situation!
leaning tower of Oreos!
I got the recipe from My First Kitchen, who adapted it from Smitten Kitchen. I think Smitten Kitchen's version is probably more accurate. I wish I could take photos like she does on SK. I hope to some day get a good lens for food photography (ideas, anyone) since it seems I take mostly photos of food. Plus, I think that'd be a nice lens to have when baby comes! Then, I'd like to actually learn how to use our camera and not totally guess at what I'm doing. Tips welcome. {Alisa, check out Smitten Kitchen's post - there's a link on her page for a celiac-friendly version. Who loves ya?}
They were pretty easy to make, so I'd recommend you make them, too. Just make the cookies smaller than you think is necessary. After all, Oreos are not that big, and when the cookie is big (like the first batch I made that went into the oven) it is just too much to deal with. The size above was just about perfect. As you can see I dug right in!
Enjoy.

so, my two cents on a camera lens... you could do some research to see what other food bloggers use. however, a fixed 50 lens is great. it works well in low lighting and (best of all) it has allows for crazy aperture. it's the type of lens that allows you to bring a single feature into focus while blurring everything else. perfect for making baby's eyes or toes pop out in a picture. or, erm, for taking pictures of food.
the only bad thing about it is that the lens is fixed...so no zooming in and out. what you see is what you get.
it's been my primary go-to lens these days 'cause i'm still working to get used to it. so you can check out some of the shots on my webpage to see what it can do.
matt, as a fellow nikon user, might also be a good person to ask. though i'm guessing he'll tell you the same thing.
now who love YOU?
