NEW FOOD PHOTOS: Desserts & Drinks from yesterday's photoshoot at client's restaurant

[Amerigo Vespucci]

I completed this Website a couple of months ago, but at the time, they didn;t have their desserts available and wanted them on the Website. I told them I'd come back. That happened yesterday:

#1: Flan



#2: Cheesecake



#3: Chavela (Beer and the juice of half a lime in an ice-cold, salt-rimmed pint glass). (NOTE: I've seen recipes for this drink which include tomato juice, but my client clearly leaves it out):



#4: Michelada (beer, lime juice, tomato juice and assorted spices, served in a chilled, salt-rimmed glass) w/ Chips & Salsa

1. My dear Amerigo Vespucci!

Ooooh, yummy!

These look wonderful. Very classy set-up. The colors and angles are perfect.

Nicely done!

They almost look too good to consume...

Congrats!

3. Thanks CP...I keep sending out knee vibes, hope you're doing well.

I've probably missed many of the threads that have contained your post-durgery updates. But the uninterrupted flow of vibes headed your way remains constant.

4. Thanks, sweetie!

My knee is doing well...

Now, if I could just get some vibes for this lousy chest cold...

I really appreciate the flow of vibes!

2. It all looks so good

The contrast of the white dessert plates with chocolate drizzle, on the dark table top works beautifully. And the beer looks so inviting, now I want a Michelada with chips with salsa

5. Well, as long as the Flan wasn't made from that cookbook discussed ...

... yesterday on the Cooking and Baking forum, I'd say, "yum."

[siligut]

6. Oh, ack

WTF? I think it said one of the pluses is that there is a plentiful supply?

[elleng]

8. Right. UCK!!!

[elleng]

7. NICE!

Any Rugulah or Hamentashen???

10. .

The flan is something I have served (decades ago) and we called it a "creme carmel" It is a variation on a creme brule' because you pour carmelized sugar into the the bottom of the cup you cook the flan in before the flan batter itself.


I hate to say it but the cheesecake looks like the Sara Lee frozen pre-portioned product. The salsa looks like it is right out of an El Paso 1 gallon bottle too.



Still makes me hungry though.

11. Salsa's homemade...don't know about the cheesecake's origins

On virtually every Mexican Restaurant review on Yelp, someone makes the claim that the salsa is "straight out of a can/bottle" so I always ask. They make their own salsa.

12. YUM! I want some. ALL of it!

Great photos.

13. you said you'd come back?

I hope that was on the assumption that you could EAT these after you photographed them.

the photos make everything look delicious.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

15. No, I didn't eat them...

...sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Yesterday was one of those "warpping up loose ends" days and I really wanted to get in and out fast.

Thanks for the kind words!

16. Yeah, I'd read about how it's prepared with tomato juice "or" Clamato

I have to wonder about anyone who thinks that the one thing their beer is missing is some "clam."

Thanks MFM.
