Ferragosto 2005

My older brother and sister-in-law took my Nonni’s biscotti recipe, made it their own (with minor revisions) and toyed with the idea of opening their own Italian Bakery.  They even funded and, with the help of a big portion of the family, cooked up a ton of biscotti and ran a booth at Salt Lake’s Italian festival, known as Ferragosto (August fair).

We used the kitchen facilities at Free Wheeler Pizza, which worked perfect for baking biscotti.  His oldest daughter arranged a biscotti eating contest at the fair, and even got a local station to include the contest in one of their ‘local interest’ spots on the fair.  That’s how my two brothers and I ended up having our own biscotti eating contest on the local morning news.

Here’s an edible guy.  Um, well, a guy who is representing something edible – Precious® String Cheese.

Biscotti crumbles, or pieces that we were giving out as samples.

And finally, what’s biscotti without coffee? (really dry and hard to eat)

Monster edible

Back in 2002 I took a bunch of pictures for the owner of the almost defunct Free Wheeler Pizza, (mentioned here, here, here and here).  Here are a few of them that fit well into Thematic Photographic’s ‘edible’ theme.

Mmmm, pizza: a lot tastier than buildings!

One whole pie isn’t enough, gotta go for a slice too.

Godzilla; not the neatest eater on the block.

Photographic Edibles

The theme for Thematic Photographic this week is “edible”, a theme after my own heart.

I’m having a couple friends from school #5 over for dinner tomorrow, and of course I’m making my famous home made spaghetti sauce, for my famous home made lasagna.

I won’t be assembling the lasagna until tomorrow, but here’s a couple shots of the sauce cookin’ on the stove.

Hungry? C’mon over for dinner tomorrow.  Or click on the banner below to see a bunch more appetizing photographs from all over the world.  It’s pot luck, so bring your favorite food photos, pull up a chair and join in the fun.
