Wow. That crab mac looks fab. With my thanks to tester, MiniPanda, stylist Kristy Mucci and photographer, James Ransom. By far, you've improved my efforts in the kitchen. Congrats to all.

Thanks for the kind words! All of that credit is due to our lovely photographer James Ransom, (and his trusty stylist, Kristy Mucci).

Great photos, as usual. And your oregano leaves on that pizza are huge! The leaves I picked from my herb garden to make it were so much smaller. And I really like the dark brown parchment under the pizza. So evocative, I can just about smell that pizza. Congrats, all!! ;o)

Congrats to all of the CP's! AJ, thank you so much for such a lovely review. I thought the same thing about the pizza photo; my oregano leaves are tiny in comparison! Making it again tonight for pizza night. Yay!

Thanks to LucyS for such a lovely review of my soup. I love the immersion blender idea, and need to get one that can tolerate heat!
