The only cloth napkins I own are for photo props and for little slipcovers I made for the backs of my dining room chairs! We, too, use paper towels, there's often smoke filling my kitchen, and we're always re-heating something or other--or, more often, just gobbling whatever it is cold. Laziness is my motivator. And realism--because real life is the occasional burned food and ugly (though delicious) bowl of something-or-other. Your photos always look delicious, and your writing shows your love for the food, that's for sure.

There are so many amazing meals I've had at home or out that only exist in memory now, because lighting was bad, or there was no way that braise or stir-fry would look good to in a photograph, to anyone who wasn't smelling the luscious aromas. And you don't always need amazing Donna Hay-type photos for a food blog (though the cavatelli does look delicious.) You just need the passion to write obsessively about food, which is already evident in your entries.
