This could have been a Thank You Thursday and Foto Friday all in one, but the alternate title for this picture was “Why Tracy and Peter spent Thursday night in food coma mode,” so…. Yeah. Also: Mmmmm.

Cheesesteaks. Nom.

I mean, that is just so much win!

So last month Ze Frank blogged a video that made me super-hungry:

EAT from Rick Mereki on Vimeo.

It also inspired me to make a little photocollage of some of the gastronautic highlights of my travels this summer:

Pastry break! Mmmmm, pastries. Awesome pastry shop display. Sitting down to late lunch/early dinner. Coffee and an Obidos specialty
Awesome lunch is awesome. Coffee and pastry break! IMG_0299 Close-up on heroically huge lunch. Coffee and pastry!
Have arrived at lodgings in Lisbon, where they left us the Portuguese equivalent of mints on pillow: pasteis de nata (custard-filled pastry cups). Setting up for breakfast. Breakfast at a sidewalk cafe before heading to the airport. Big lunch! Coffee and treats break!

So, yeah, that was pretty great. You can click on any of those little images to go to bigger versions on Flickr. Some even have descriptions! Others I may have to write about at greater length some other time, and still others I did not photograph but should describe in glorious detail before they get any more faded in my memory. (Also note that these are only the pictures I took of our trip, which is why I am not in any of them; Peter has the pictures of me going “OMG NOM YES” but they aren’t in a place where I can link to them yet.)

Update, 8:45 PM: I just realized that this is my 500th TracyFood post. Congratulations to me, even if this is kind of a silly quick one.

So last month I put out a call to Facebook and Twitter asking what kind of monkey bread to make (with this article‘s recipes in mind): buttery plain, garlic-herb, and cinnamon walnut. In the end the voters wanted garlic-herb, but my sweet tooth won the day, and I have pictures to prove it. (Garlic-herb lovers, scroll all the way down for your favorite, which I made a few weeks later.)

Check that beauty out.

This Foto Friday I would like to present you with the bread machine recipe I have been using most frequently this summer. It’s adapted from a recipe that came with our current bread machine, the Breadman Ultimate I learned to stop worrying and love, pictured here with the bread ingredients, on our kitchen counter:

A bit crowded on the counter, yes.
