WE NEVER TAKE THE BEFORE PHOTO
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.

Chocolate pudding he made, accidentally, with my anti-anxiety medication. His kitchen. New York, NY. 12/08/08
The before photo would have involved a box of cocoa powder, a few cups of heavy cream, some eggs, a stand mixer.
The after photo should not include my Xanax in the bottom of the bowl. He was preparing for a very long flight. And cooking chocolate pudding from scratch. I could only really help with one of the two situations. I should not have placed the Schedule IV drug I was giving him for the flight into the mise en place glass. I thought it a safe space for a small pill. I guess he’ll have to take the pudding on the plane.
