Photo of the Week!

Our tantalizing food photo of the week was submitted by blog reader Sean, who wrote:

"This is how I like to eat my Lox. In this version of the Lox I have a toasted bagel, cream cheese, capers and smoked salmon, of course. Then I add a little red onion, Tabasco, boiled egg and garnished with dill. Before I put everything together I sprinkle lemon on the salmon."

Yummelicious. To see the Fridge Magnet's fine collection of food photos, hit the Flickr site.
Please contribute your own photos! If you'd rather not join Flickr (it's free), feel free to send them to me at lindsey.nair@roanoke.com.

Have a tasty weekend!

Photo of the Week!

The photo of the week was submitted by blog reader Kat (a.k.a. The Boss).

She rubbed this salmon with a mixture of French salts, then grilled it slowly on a cedar plank.
The side dishes are roasted garlic mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach that came from a Franklin County farm. Kat says it only cost 99 cents per pound.

"We first heated the pan and used pork fat as our oil," she wrote. "Then I browned some garlic in that and tossed the spinach in. After seasoning with some salt, the finishing touch was juice from half a lemon. The tartness made everything taste bright and fresh."

Do you have a beautiful food picture? If so, submit it to my Flickr group or e-mail me at Lindsey.nair@Roanoke.com. Have a great weekend!

Let's share food photos!

Feast your eyes on this beautiful rare, grilled tuna.

This photo was submitted by blog reader Sean for my new feature, the Friday photo of the week!

Since I started soliciting your food photos, I've received nearly 20 tantalizing pics. They range from Rich's bacon-wrapped wild turkey breast to Nona's famous banana pudding to Carrie's colorful beef cacciatore.

Because I can't feature them all on the blog, I've decided to start a group on the photo sharing Web site Flickr.

If you want to see all the photos, all you have to do is go here.

If you'd like to join in the fun and add your own photos to the group, all you have to do is create a Flickr account and follow the directions from there. If you need any help, please feel free to let me know!

Those of you who would rather not mess with creating a new account but still want to send food photos are welcome to e-mail them directly to me at lindsey.nair@roanoke.com.

Of course, if you can also submit your recipe to the blog, that would make this feature even better!

Pic of the week

Welcome to a new Fridge Magnet feature, the Pic of the Week.
Since you all love food as much as I do, I know you're regularly creating yummy dishes at home or dining out in local restaurants. Not long ago, I asked blog readers to send in their beautiful food photos so I can share them here. Since then, I've received several worthy submissions.
I'm feeling healthy this week, so I've decided to feature this photo of an awesome salad prepared by reader Deborah's hubby. In the foreground, you see a nice, big chunk of salmon. It also features some crumbled bacon, a boiled egg and a lovely pile of beans.
Currently, I'm working on establishing a Flickr account so I can file every single food photo that I receive there and we can all enjoy them whenever we want.
If you think you have the next photo of the week, send it in a jpeg format to lindsey.nair@roanoke.com.
Happy eating!

New feature on the Fridge Magnet

We all know a food blog just isn't a food blog without delicious pictures of food. We also know that at some point every week, each of us sits down to such a beautiful meal or snack that it would be a pity to not capture the exquisiteness on film for all to see. That's why I'm launching a new feature on the Fridge Magnet blog called the Photo of the Week.
I urge you to submit your food photos to me by e-mail at lindsey.nair@roanoke.com. Submit as many as you like; I will pick one each week to feature on the blog. Then the rest of us can drool all over our keyboards.
The inaugural Photo of the Week was sent in by regular reader Amy Hanek. Amy prepared these chocolate heart cakes topped with ganache and drizzled with chocolate. I dare you to tell me you don't want one right now.
