I was trying to decide which thread to put my meal. Here is the original meal I ordered at the Restaurant with my husband celebrating our anniversary of our first date.

ā€œSorry, we canā€™t abuse such a lovely piece of meat by overcooking it, ladyā€

(Michelle isaacson) #967

When the meat is bleedingā€¦The act of watching it bleed out is demented. :smiling_imp:

(Running from stupidity) #968

Itā€™s not really bleeding, itā€™s just haemoglobin :slight_smile:

And itā€™s not an issue once youā€™ve eating it anyway :smile:

True since the heart is no longer pumpingā€¦

Funniest part of the entire evening is my husband surprised me with the Restaurant; he thought we were going to a steak house (I was hoping we were). We had reservations and as soon as we looked at the menu I realized we were in a Sushi/Shashimi restaurant! HA!! I am not only allergic to fishā€¦but I donā€™t like Raw Meat! He asked if I wanted to leave and I said ā€œNo, this is fine.ā€ I told him to order his Sushi/Shashimi and I found the one item on the menu that was Keto and Seafood free. :slight_smile:

Good problem-solving skillz :slight_smile:

Beautiful eggs. Why are yours more orange and mine are from my free ranging chickens?? They need to eat more bugsā€¦

(Running from stupidity) #972

Maybe a little push on the saturation and vibrance in the post-processing. Maybe :slight_smile:

(I Am The Egg Man ku-ku-kachoo) #973

Oh. Well, you may have just saved several chickens a vicious berating, then. :rofl:

450g rump steak special - a 24-hour rump steak finished on a blazing-hot skillet in chefā€™s special blend of macadamia oil and bacon fat, and paired with hand-turned daikon noodles in an Alfredo sauce, alongside locally-sourced green beans, both sauteed in a cast iron pan with beurre noisette.

Ooooh, just discovered I can show net carbs instead of calories in the nutrition panel above! #cronometerwinning

Sorry about two pics, I was completely undecided as to which one to use, so I broke through the paralysis by posting both.

Actually, you may need to have a word to them, I went back and looked at the unprocessed image and the difference is minimal once the exposure is corrected :slight_smile:

Green vegetable pot (cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, asparagus, green beans, with red capsicum, home grown baby spinach leaves, sautƩed in duck fat and butter) served with sensational pork rashers cooked in a homemade Smokey barbecue sauce. Best dinner ECHA!

I love fish and so does my wife. Both kids not so much except smoked salmon and sushi. What is up with that?

(Running from stupidity) #978

Your kids are just better people, it seems.

:grin:

Yes, but barely. No choice when shooting with a real camera where the JPG is setup for B&W :slight_smile: I select in PhotoMechanic, then export to Lightroom, where I add a touch of vibrance and saturation on importing (canā€™t add much or it looks weird anyway) along with a little sharpening, then Iā€™ll usually crop it a bit, make sure the exposure is good, maybe deepen the blacks a little, add a very subtle black vignette, and then export. Itā€™s all presets Iā€™ve written for it and tweaked over the years, so itā€™s usually just a few button presses as itā€™s usually pretty good SOOC (which is an ancient Fuji X-T1 with 90/2 or 18-55).

Sometimes Iā€™ll also use an external flash through an umbrella, but I havenā€™t for a while as itā€™s light later in the evening now summer is approaching (and daylight saving time is here) so no real need. (Unless Iā€™m shooting something like the fatbombs at the top of the thread where Iā€™m using the reflections on the black perspex so I need the light.)

I canā€™t believe this was the thread I opened this morning. Iā€™m fasting, and now Iā€™m salivating and my stomach is making it very clear that it is EMPTY!

Oh, JUST that? :rofl: I just grab my iPhoneā€¦lol

(Mike W.) #983

I donā€™t really know where else to put this soā€¦LOOK WHAT I GOT!!! Straight from the UK. Tastes just like those orange chocolate balls that you used to smash! Good thing the serving size is 1 barā€¦
