Tuesday Favorites!

I'm literally just back in town from a fun weekend in NYC catching up with old and new friends. Thanks C, J, W, L, and Joanne for making this a weekend to remember! Before we get to this week's favorite food photos, I just want to quickly share that a food photo of my own (last year's bloody rat cupcakes) has been published by the Danish magazine BoligLiv, both online and in print! I was especially awed when I got my complimentary hard copy and saw the gorgeous food photos published in the same issue as my photo (including the first photo below). On top of that, I'm bursting with joy to announce another big milestone for 6 Bittersweets: the number of you subscribing to this blog has now surpassed 2,000! Thanks, as always, from the bottom of my heart. I wouldn't have accomplished any of this without your incredible support and kindness!

    Xiaolu: Can you share the URL for Cintamani's blog. I couldn't get to her blog through the flicker photos. Her pics were stunning, would love to check her space.

    Thanks, everyone!

    Vijitha, I don't think Cintamani has a blog. I think she simply photographs food without posting recipes. I think the link on her Flickr profile is related to her profession and not meant to be a blog site. But she seems very nice, and I'm sure she'd be happy to answer on Flickr if you are ever curious about a recipe.

    Oh joy, owls, my favoritest of cute bird friends!

    Despite having a wide array of shortbread cookies under my belt, I've never considered adding strawberries in any form - genius!

    Congrats on the foreign pub that I can't read:)

    Thanks again, all!

    And Vera, I could scan it but my scanner quality is not that great unfortunately :-/. It's basically just a bigger version of the online version: http://www.boligliv.dk/Gode-webadresser1/fridage-i-bornehojde/ My photo is pretty cropped and only takes up a small portion of the page haha. But a published image, no less!
