Food Porn, part 2..

Some are addicted to porn, whatever porn they choose to become addicted to. In this case, it is all about the food and ingredients. I enjoy posting it out there for all to see like a giant movie rolling through the internet space. I have said it many a times, that in addition to cooking, I enjoy photography and all that it is. I always have since I was a wee lad back in the day, hell, even way before the day. Taking pictures of my food (or someone else's for that matter) has always had a special attraction for me. Addicted to my own medicine per se. Seems to be my drug of choice in my latter years(cooking, food, my posting and such). The art of the lens is much like the art of cooking as both seem to tantalize and arouse the senses in so many ways and can evoke such emotion and passion and beyond. Lately, I have held off on posting a handful of shots simply due to not having the time to get them out there. For the latest edition of the porn, I offer you this...
