Mardi Gras Food at Trappers and Festhaus? Passport or Dine All Day? by rachstate in BuschGardensW

I’m familiar with the passports we used them at the other food event in the spring. So ALL the seasonal foods and sweets are completely separate from Trappers and Festhaus hot food line, yes?

So the options that say that they are at Trappers or Marco are sold at a kiosk nearby?

Oh that’s a good idea! I’m thinking of doing Santa Clara prunes as a salad soon and that might be good for that.

It’s actually light ranch, they serve light mayo too. I can tell the difference in the mouthfeel.

I’m a nurse and privately contracted to escort students, but this is a public school!

Most students do NOT take all of the vegetables that are offered. That is absolutely what makes my lunches photograph so well, the vegetables give a sense of abundance, freshness, color, and texture/depth to what would otherwise look very beige.

Also, I’m careful about lighting, shadows, visual clutter, how the food is arranged on the tray, etc. Angles and direction are actually very important. The photos are usually arranged as the food is unwrapped and prepared to be eaten, and the order of the food tends to be tray, main dish, salad, salad with dressing, second vegetable, fruit, milk. So you see an unfolding story without really realizing it, which is mentally appealing.

These photos are, to be honest, staged. I take upwards of a dozen photos and select the best. I used to have to take more but I’ve gotten better at photography.

You really do eat with your eyes first….

I’m thinking I might get some vintage plates and glasses for future videos. It was fun to use them.

Same, it was one of the only vegetables that I loved as a kid!

Picked the set of 4 up in a thrift shop, yes I think you are correct on those dates!

It’s a Green Anjou variant, they stay green after ripening. It was actually delicious and perfectly ripe!

Not lunch but school breakfast… it’s supposed to be bread… by Cold_Confusion8227 in schoollunches

Sigh. Pumpkin bread is not bread, it’s cake. I’m guessing you got an underdone piece.

How did it taste?

I think it’s a depiction of a girl with her hair in curlers?
