No, really. We never do. Usually we forget. Sometimes we don't want to fuss over our food. Often we're just really hungry and we want to eat what's put in front of us fast, before we get cranky. But we do want to remember our dishes and the delicious messes that we've made. So we usually come to our senses and shoot something, even after we're full. This is not a food blog.

Wedding dinner. Short Hills, New Jersey. 11/29/08. We’re not even sure what is on this plate. Note the one bite taken and a bit of moving things around so it looked like we were eating when the bride stopped by to greet the table. We were done. We’d already had like a million mini hot dogs at the cocktail hour. And then, after a few drinks, we had trouble figuring out what we were served. They said it was salmon. We were stunned. Rarely does a before look so much like an after, and an after like a before. They called “all the single ladies” on to the dance floor, but then they did not play Beyonce.
