Year in Pictures: 2010/03/20

I picked up some white hot chocolate mix at the bulk store today. It was ok, even made with water, but for my next attempt I am going to heat some milk instead.



The interesting cropping is because I shot the picture with the camera at an odd angle, and then when I was working on it in software later I decided that I wasn't entirely fond of the angled shot. Unfortunately by that point I had already finished drinking the chocolate, so there was naught for it but to rotate it in software.

Shot with a flash at 1/200th of a second with the aperture set to f/8.0. Other than rotating it 45 degrees, I did very little tweaking to this one in software other than to colour-balance it (because the raw images from the camera are not colour-corrected).

Here was yesterday's picture. I put it up on Flickr, but I was too tired to post it here. Its' Merry, looking very Merry-like.

Somehow, that reminded me of a tabasco sauce bottle label.

Now that would be some "hot" chocolate!!!

I'm enjoying these pic-o-the-day series :)

Actually "hot" chocolate is better than it sounds. atara has a recipe for chocolate chili cookies that she makes once in awhile, and they are very good.

Ah, Merry. Somehow the hot white chocolate (or is it white hot chocolate?) has a higher IQ!

But, Merry lasts longer. Although, the hot white chocolate tastes better. Then again, Merry has more entertainment value. However, hot white chocolate is less messy. On the other hand, Merry is cuter. Yet, hot white chocolate won't play with your face while you're trying to sleep.

I think hot white chocolate wins!
