Happy Thanksgiving. Here’s what I had for dinner. More food than the Pilgrim’s could have imagined.

The condiment carousel at a chain restaurant in the Northern Virginia suburbs. I am forever grateful that I don’t live in a place where the only options are these soul-less outlets.

It seems that all I do these days is take photos of food for other websites. I’m so glad to have the work, but I’m not sure if I’m investing my energy in the wrong place. If only my own site paid real money.

Fish plate! The only thing for serving cranberry sauce.

Clean-out-the-fridge chicken soup.

Apple cider from Hands on Earth Farm at the Rittenhouse Square Farmers’ Market.

A fall day on West River Drive.

Another sandwich story outtake. This time, the tofu bahn mi from the Fu Wah Mini Market. One of my very favorites.

I got a great writing gig recently that had me running around town tasting and photographing local sandwiches. This is the meatloaf parm from Paesano’s. It’s an amazing sandwich.

A messy, end-of-evening dining room table.
