Is this better?
For those of you who told me to resize my pictures, my wonderful design team--Leah & Justin--walked me through the process and now we can compare the results. This is how a picture used to appear on my site: And this is what it looks like when I resize it in iPhoto to have a 425 width before uploading to Flickr: Is the second one better? To me they look exactly the same--but I'm not very image savvy. And in case you're wondering what you're looking at--last week I made a vegetarian chili I found on Epicurious (recipe here) and served it with Dorie Greenspan's magnificent cornbread muffins, a recipe I almost made again today (which you can find here on Serious Eats)....
Elise's Fritters & An Heirloom Tomato Salad
Do I hold the record for fastest re-blogged recipe? Probably not. Elise put up her recipe for spicy corn fritters on August 12th, I made them "today" (technically yesterday) August 13th, and now it's 12:22 AM and I'm blogging about it on August 14th (my mom's birthday: happy birthday mom!) But no matter. The point is, these corn fritters are truly excellent and a cinch to make. Head to your local farmer's market to load up on corn and then do what I did: buy a basket of strange looking heirloom tomatoes and make a little salad to serve next to the fritters. Just add olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper and basil if you have it. That's it! A perfect summer meal. Thanks Elise, your fritters make me twitter with joy....
