Chefs have taken to Instagram to challenge each other to a #7daypastrychallenge: to Instagram a meaningful / impressive / beautiful pastry each day for seven days. So far my favorites include a Chocolate Ganache Tart with orange pate de fruit, pistachio crumble and milk sorbet from @pastrychefmia of Flour Bakery and Cafe, a Peach Tart with a hodgepodge of interesting flavor profiles which include vanilla creme anglaise, peach fluid gel, caramel corn, almond streusel, and sweet corn ice cream from @erinsteidley, and the eye-popping scrumptious S'mores Poptart from @justinbsamson of Modern Gramma / Trademark Tarts. Can't wait to see what's offered up next.

One of my favorite things is to take long walks through Liberty State Park in Jersey City. It's beautiful any time of year, even in stark winter. I often pause along the way to take photographs. Lately, I've been using primarily Instagram. I just don't think it's possible to take a bad picture with this app.
