I live in a sub-level condo, so I really don't get any good natural light, and my camera was a $100 deal from Best Buy. I stopped food blogging altogether when my last hand-me-down camera broke. I say sometimes, you've just gotta sacrifice a good photo for a good recipe! ;)Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020986406730749423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188422504749742968.post-60913638651527836332007-11-02T16:27:00.000+00:002007-11-02T16:27:00.000+00:00Funny how it was being enjoyed until you mentioned...Funny how it was being enjoyed until you mentioned the orange!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06100295997954408204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188422504749742968.post-49924107770336721132007-11-01T03:08:00.000+00:002007-11-01T03:08:00.000+00:00love the chiffon covered with glaze. you did a fab...love the chiffon covered with glaze. you did a fabulous job!Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01632639896426211250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2188422504749742968.post-27291513245491270852007-11-01T01:36:00.000+00:002007-11-01T01:36:00.000+00:00Hey...we all cheat sometimes, right?
