by Leave a Comment

Bizarre. I know. But I am obsessed with taking pictures of food... And, don't roll your eyes... I know I'm not the only one! Nearly everytime I'm about to consume something scrumptious, I snap a quick pic with the camera on my cell phone or my Nikon.  And... this would all be for naught...
