Crackerjacks and baseball go together like peanut butter and jelly. So when I spent the evening celebrating my father’s birthday and watching the Yankees defeat the Mets, it was essential I took out the camera to get some shots of the great All-American snacks, pulled pork sandwiches and hotdogs. There is no better place for this kind of dinner than stadium seating in the Bronx, cheering on some good old-fashioned baseball.

Pig Roast

July 26, 2011

Although not the most beautiful looking food shots, pig roasts have become such a tradition in today’s food culture, I just had to post it. This past weekend, two wonderful friends of mine got married in Ellicottville in Western New York, and to keep the festivities going all weekend long, had a pig roast at the family camp Sunday afternoon. Other highlights included picnic favorites– the famous salt potatoes of Syracuse and steamed corn on the cob.
