This week, Patti leads Interesting Objects challenge. She gives us an opportunity to share images that we captured as walking through a city, the country, a museum, or a beach.
I’m choosing a few images that I captured in different restaurants.
I like how they arranged the chopsticks and spoons at the Japanese restaurant:
“Good food is very often, even most often, simple food.”
― Anthony Bourdain
This one is pretty unique:
“The smell of good bread baking, like the sound of lightly flowing water, is indescribable in its evocation of innocence and delight”
— M. F. K. Fisher
“Good wine, well drunk, can lend majesty to the human spirit.”
— M.F.K. Fisher
How wonderful you can enjoy the artwork while drink good wine.
Special thanks to Tina for hosting the fun Double Dipping Challenge. We have enjoyed your beautiful images and many creative photo challenges you chose.
This week Patti invites us “to share images that feature Interesting Objects. Have fun searching for them on the street, in your home, in your travels, …” Please include a link to Patti’s post and use the Lens-Artists tag.
Next week, it’s Ann-Christine’s turn to lead the challenge, so be sure to visit by her beautiful site.
Great choices, Amy. I love them all, as well as the quotes you’ve chosen. What interesting displays for the bread and chopsticks! The bread and the wine look so tempting. Is your header image dozens of jellybeans? Have a great week, Amy.
Thank you, Patti. It’s always fun to take photos of happy eating; also fun to view these photos and remember the food/restaurants we’ve enjoyed. Yep, those were jellybeans. 🙂
Hope you are okay during the snow storm.
Your food close-ups put them in a category all their own, and an artsy one at that. There truly is an art to making food look good (or so I’ve been told), but you did it. Very interesting objects indeed.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment, Rusha! So glad to hear that an art to making food look good.
This one is challenging. It took me a little while to put these together.
Fortunately, I’d just finished dinner when I read your Post or I might have been tempted to raid the bread basket again. Those photographs really tempt me.
I’ve never been to a Japanese restaurant that did that with the chopsticks. Fun. I like the shot through and around the wine glass and the one with the loaf of bread being cut. I love good bread, although it’s difficult to find, and sometimes when I cut a slice, I can hardly wait to get a bite. A world/diet without carbs is not for me!! Oddly, around here lots of the bread is sourdough. You’d think we were in San Francisco or something.
Thank you, Janet for liking these photos. Like you, I love good bread and pasta. I normally get bread from the Whole Foods Market; often I buy more than I can chew. 🙂 🙂
Amy, what a delicious post – in words and photos. M.F.K. Fisher was the best food writer in my opinion and I cherish her books and so was very pleased to see her passages in your quotes, along with the more popularly recognized Bourdain. Speaking selfishly as a foodie, I would love to see a Lens Artists challenge based on food. Wonderful post today!
Thank you, Babsje! I enjoyed reading MFK Frisher’s joruney in Dijon. I agree, she is the best food writer.
It’d be much fun to share food through our photo challenges.
A celebration of table settings and bread, Amy. Well shot and composed. Wishing you a year ahead filled with happiness.
