While all of you ( well, most of you) spent time traveling or frolicking with the kids in the water, I spent much of my summer keeping up with my food blog. (You can find it on my profile page).  Twice a week I update it, which often means trying out new recipes, shooting photos ( in the rain!), and wandering through cookbooks and magazines, stopping every once in a while when I'm seized with an idea.  So here are some of my "how I spent my summer" photos, with much appreciation for all those professional bloggers out there.  And kudos to our Gather Food Correspondents, who've been doing this all along!

It sure is a good thing I already had dinner, because you just made me very hungry:) Your photos are great as always Katrina.

Wow, your blog is great Katrina.
Katrina Hall Aug 26, 2008, 7:13pm EDT
Thanks, j r! I really love my blogging but where the time goes, I do not know. Crazy.
Katrina Hall Aug 26, 2008, 7:14pm EDT
Ah, music to my ears, j r! Thanks so much for checking it out!

You already know I'm a fan of your blog but I'll tell you again anyway that I enjoy your recipes and fine photos very much, Katrina.
Katrina Hall Aug 26, 2008, 7:36pm EDT
Toute sweet, Madame and thank you! The feeling goes both ways, as I've so often admired your own foodie articles and photos. Exhausting, isn't it? ( the work, I mean). Today was the most frustrating day yet - "My Dud". Oy.

Great photos, Katrina
I have your blog bookmarked to my Google Home Page, but have to admit I haven't been in to read as much as I would like :-(
I adore your recipes, photos, and descriptions! Thanks for these!

Wow...these pictures had my mouth watering.
Katrina Hall Aug 26, 2008, 10:33pm EDT
Thanks, Sonia - and I just realized I've neglected to read yours ! All this food research and hands on cooking, food exploring, and writing has left me short on time - but I'm not complaining! I get such a charge out of the constant challenge it's always exciting.
Katrina Hall Aug 26, 2008, 10:34pm EDT
Oh, Aaron - what a lovely thing to say! Thank you!
Katrina Hall Aug 26, 2008, 10:35pm EDT
Thanks, elizabeth! Delighted you enjoyed the pictures!

Looks delicious!!!
Katrina Hall Aug 27, 2008, 8:18am EDT
Thank you, Sherrie!
Richard Frisbie Aug 27, 2008, 11:12am EDT
Yeah - TIME! Looks as if you could write about how to manage it! Quite a luscious body

(wait for it. . . )

of writing and photos and recipes here - Well Done!
Katrina Hall Aug 27, 2008, 12:36pm EDT
Richard - was that pause you or Gather? Gather's been suddenly refusing to finish typing a word, so I - yes - wait for it. Course, my brain seems to be affected, too...the "wait, it's coming" as I search for that elusive word I want!
Thank you so much for your kind words!

Your summer pics look delicious. I think I'll make a point of finding your blog. I don't write about it much on Gather but I love food and cooking too.
Katrina Hall Aug 28, 2008, 7:24am EDT
Thank you, Andrea! I'd love to have you stop by for a look at my blog - and maybe it will inspire you to do a little food writing and photography of your own!
jessie voigts Aug 28, 2008, 9:00pm EDT
oh, yum! i didn't know you have a food blog - i'll go find it! yahoo for you! gorgeous pix.
Katrina Hall Aug 29, 2008, 7:40am EDT
Hey jessie! Thanks for finding it, and lots of enthusiastic messages!
Rose H. Aug 29, 2008, 10:39pm EDT
Katrina, your photos are awesome as always - good thing I just had a bowl of ice cream:)
Katrina Hall Aug 30, 2008, 9:33am EDT
Thank you, Rose! It's funny how blogging ( and photography) is - some days it's one shot, or one unrevised article and it's perfect. Other times I spend hours, ranting and muttering under my breath, before I get an acceptable photo or recipe. But it's a challenge, and it IS fun ( most of the time)!
Mary G. Sep 13, 2008, 5:36pm EDT
I love food. Thanks for sharing the photos.
Katrina Hall Sep 13, 2008, 6:56pm EDT
Another foodie! Thanks for taking a look , Mary!
