On February 16, 2007, I posted my very first recipe on this here blog. A seared tuna salad, in fact. The post contained a single image (shown above, top), and a measly 3 sentences of text (apparently I was much more concise back then). Despite the fact that it was a recipe for seared tuna salad, I did not include the seared tuna in the actual photo. As you can see by the unpublished image underneath, it wasn't exactly appetizing. Apparently that image was so horrifying that it took me 6 years before I finally attempted to photograph tuna again. My my how far we've come. I've said this before and I will say it again, as much as those old photos make me cringe, I will never delete them. I will never rephotograph those posts. They are my history, proof of just how much I've learned and how much I've grown as a cook and an artist in the past 6 years. What do they say, you can't know where you're going until you know where you've been? Well, I know. And where I've been is publicly on
