Spring Rolls



(photographer's note: the challenge wasn't so much lighting this time, but styling and props, which amazingly, we do have. Except for that $60 square plate at Williams Sonoma that I wouldn't mind owning.)

There's nothing like enjoying a plate of spring rolls in the dead of winter. This particular appetizer (once again, takeout) is probably as relevent to Asia as Taco Bell tacos are to Mexico. However, relevence is rarely heeded in this household because if it tastes good enough, we'll just pretend.

Truthfully, this plate was part of dinner a few weeks ago. What we actually had for dinner last night were pinto beans with a hambone which, I'm sorry to say, doesn't photograph well, although it was truly very tasty. I know my photographic limits and this was much prettier.
