In case you're wondering, red dye #2 doesn't have much flavor. So, other than pure hydrogenated evil, there's nothing to interfere with the usual Oreo-flavor.
I know this isn't the best picture evah. I even got Sarah's tripod out to try and get a decent shot. But after taking over 20 pics of evil Oreos, I'd about had enough. So I ate 'em

The lighting in the house is always a problem for me. if your camera has a setting for fluorescent lights that helps a lot. if not, wait until daytime, turn off the lights and hope for the best. Or take the photo outside in the afternoon.
if camera shake is the problem, put one hand on the place where the three legs of the tripod meet and press down while you take the photo, that helps steady the tripod. also try to push the button as gently as possible.
can you do me a favor and see how the comment spam situation is? you might have to look at my email. I'm not getting the mt-blacklist messages to the account that I can check here. usually I have to add things to the blacklist every day, which would send us hundreds of spams if they didn't get added.
thanks!
