It's been a couple of weeks since we've taken a peek into our day in the test kitchen! Yesterday we cooked up all things mint for our current contest -- you'll see plenty of photos from the shoot in the coming days, but meanwhile here's a meta-look into how photographing all those recipes went. It was a busy day!
Things were a little touch and go yesterday in the test kitchen -- our beloved test kitchen manager Jennifer was out for the week and we missed her badly! Without her prowess at planning and cooking, we all jumped in to lend a hand with the recipes on deck. Here were our top three moments of the day -- and as always, follow us on Instagram @food52 for more.

Our associate editor Kristy stopped at Eataly yesterday to pick up some ingredients for today's photoshoot. On the way she spotted these beautiful yellow-orange citrus labeled Weikiwa Tangelo Oranges and stopped to snap a quick Instagram shot with the caption, "Exciting citrus alert! What do you know about these beauties?” Not too long after, we had an answer! FOOD52er, Instagram user, and biologist roguehousewife shared her knowledge with us: WEKIWA TANGELO, unusual hybrid between a Sampson Tangelo and an unspecified (we would call it "mystery") grapefruit. The irresistible result is a very juicy tangelo which looks and tastes like a pink grapefruit (red-blushed pulp, yellow rind), but is sweet like a tangerine, and the size of one. Sometimes known as pink tangelo (or "Lavender Gem"), it can be substituted for grapefruit. Easily separated into 12 segments with few seeds. I can't wait to taste these! Fruits ripen in January. Self fertile. Zones 8B-10. We'll definitely be returning to Eataly to buy these -- and we'll keep using Instagram to share mystery fruits and vegetables to see what we learn!
I'm really dedicated to packing my lunch for work every day -- it's budget-wise, it's easy, it's healthy, and it keeps me from eating leftovers more often than I want to! So I'm always thrilled when other FOOD52ers pack their lunches, too.Read more about our three delicious lunches!
Our Associate Editor Kristy was in charge of snacktime today ("I'm going out to get a healthy snack -- does anyone want anything?"). She did a great job: mandarin oranges, pistachios (unshelled!), and hazelnut-laden chocolate. What are you snacking on this afternoon?
