Flickr Macro Monday ~ Pasta!

I almost passed on this Macro Monday theme: Pasta.  I thought it kind of  boring.  I had meal planning to do and so I turned this photo shoot into fun and a productive event one afternoon.  Nothing like multi tasking to get things done!  Dinner, check.  Completing MM theme, check.

Flickr's theme consisted of:  "Your “Pasta” photo can be of uncooked, cooked or be part of a pasta dish. It will greatly help us if you tell us the name of your pasta."

I chose tricolor spiral pasta as my subject.  I cooked it, then played with it a bit, sampling as I went, then turning it into a salad with lots of good and bad things mixed in, adding a little Italian Dressing and dinners done.

I can't decide if these shots are slightly out of focus or just simply slimy looking.  I snacked on them though, and they tasted perfectly al dente, the way I like them.  Probably my eyes are just out of focus.  Which should I submit this Monday, Sept. 2? Only one is allowed. I'm leaning toward the third shot.

Update: I submitted #3.  It was just a little different then what had already been submitted to MM.

Happy Click'n!
