The last batch of tests

I was pretty out of it today. Having trouble with all kinds of things, including forgetting to get the milano cookies as test foods and had to go back for it...at least I remembered just before I walked out of the store. After finally deciding I should get some coffee, I brought it back to the car and dumped it head first into the cup holder. It was unintentional -- it slipped out of my hand -- but it made a big mess none the less. But hallelujah, I survived the day.

So I mixed the ketchup and nutella. Another tasty combination. Printed on the cutting board nicely, but it doesn't look very red.



But the cheese slices (havarti and provolone) continue to resist. The pear slices didn't work nearly as nicely as the apple slices either.



Then I cleaned up the kitchen.

Then I turned around and saw the milano cookies sitting on the counter, unopened. The cookies that I had to go back to get...

So another batch of ketchup+nutella. And here are the results. Not too bad, but the cookies are not flat, they have this intentional 'drip' built into the cookie surface, I guess to make them look hand formed or something. So it's hard to get a good impression around that bump.



And naturally, I got the wrong kind of milanos. I meant to get the new half black half white ones, but instead I got the raspberry fillings.

I got started on the piece I'm doing for the Portland Art Center fundraiser. Picture tomorrow, in better light.
