58. Eat at every restaurant in Our State magazine’s 100 Foods To Eat In North Carolina’s 100 Counties. Chatham County. Foie gras at Fearrington House Restaurant. I’m not super into goose liver, but the meal as a whole was the best I’ve ever eaten. Plus a bonus carved root vegetable from Halloween. Fearrington’s pumpkins were awesome.

life list: 100 foods, 100 counties
One off the 100 foods list … Hot Dipped Fried Chicken from Keaton’s Barbeque, in Cleveland, NC, Rowan County. I need to go back because I think the chicken suffered from a drive to Augusta, GA, in my trunk, which is not Keaton’s fault. But when they say hot, they mean hot. The spice is…

The Maternal Unit is also into eating, so she was totally down with my life list goal of eating all 100 foods on Our State’s 100 Foods To Eat In NC’s 100 Counties.

Beer Fest, even tempered by mid-afternoon rain, is always a good time. And a photographic paradise!
carrboro farmer’s market
carrboro farmer’s market, originally uploaded by minervacat. A few weeks ago, shep. shared this New York Times article on people who photograph their food on Google Reader, and I just wanted to echo her sentiment from the original share: food photography on that level will make you a lunatic, and I still both miss it…

the night kitchen launch party, originally uploaded by minervacat. Saturday evening, I took some shots of delicious cupcakes for my friends Heather & Kala, and their bakery the Night Kitchen. (I took headshots for them last month, as well.) After a year of shooting all my food, I enjoy taking photos of food so much…
