I'm starting to move to using a real camera (as opposed to the camera on my phone) for the blog -- hopefully you've noticed. Still, when I'm excited about something I'm eating in a given moment, I'll often snap a picture with my Droid.
The problem is, these photos tend to remain on my phone, since many don't warrant a whole blog post. But they still represent fascinating meals and delicious dishes, so here is the first semi-annual Hungry Sam Photo Round-Up!
1) Sample plate of mom's Christmas cookies!
My favorites are the decorated cutouts and the lumpy chocolate ones (called Chinese new year cookies).

| FESTIVE |
2) Homemade eggs benedict, grapefruit, and mango!
My hollandaise was a little too lemony, but still pretty tasty.

| POACHED |
3) My colleague Peggy's homemade whoopie pies!
 |
| REGIONAL |
4) Tandoori chicken from Naan and Beyond (D.C.)!
Pretty good, and not at all dry, as tandoori chicken can sometimes be.

5) Butternut squash soup from Le Pain Quotidien (D.C.)!
 |
| SOUP? |
6) TONS of sushi at California Rollin' in Rochester, NY
The ones with sauce are BBT rolls -- regular tuna rolls, tempura fried, with Dinosaur BBQ sauce on top. AMAZING.

I hope you enjoyed the photos! Next time, maybe some pictures of food from my trip to Savannah this coming weekend. I will leave you with the traditional blessing of my people: May you eat brunch.
