What did you cook or eat today (May 2020)?

The weather up here today is great as well. It's about 60F out and sunny, just a beautiful day. Going into the 40s tonight, we are going to have a fire in the chiminea tonight on the back deck with some wine after dinner. I am going to use some of that crockpot chicken to make soft corn tacos for dinner with pulled chicken. I have some pinto beans cooking in the crockpot to make refried beans later.

I have a Samsung S7. The camera is excellent. The problem is the user and lighting.

I'm sure I could help. I will start a new thread tomorrow about using smart phones for food photography. There are one or two really simple things which can make the difference.

Crab cakes: White and brown crab meat with a little mashed potato and coriander, coated in panko breadcrumbs and shallow-fried in oil and butter - and the usual Jersey Royals

I absolutely love crab cakes and what could be better than Jersey Royals to accompany.

My kind of temperature. I hope you enjoy the evening on the deck.

Spring is over. We actually had an extended, lovely spring. Most unusual. Regardless of what the calendar says it is summer. High temps - mid to upper 80's. The humidity has not hit it's peak. Running at about 70%. We are outside only in the early morning and late evening. The AC and ceiling fans are on 24/7. The central air has humidity control. The inside humidity stays between 40% and 45%. Comfortable. It won't be long before the humidity is 90%+ and temps in the lower to mid 90's. Triple digit heat index. We have learned to adjust.

I forgot what thread I was on. G is at the lake camp. He will be home this evening. He had a client with him so IDK if he is bringing fish home or not. If he brings fresh fish home that is what we will have. If not I need to get something out of the freezer. Time for a phone call.

I think crab is my favourite food of all

First class yorkshires with an even colour, a slight pink blush to the beef and a nice shiny gravy, first class... but what about the roasties????

My photography skills got a lot better when I got a better phone (Samsung S9+). It tasted really good. Salmon and avocado are a great combination.

Your phone camera is better than mine. You will be able to take some fantastic food photos.

This is a revelation and the result of experiments. I must post the recipe! Its Smoky Roasted Red Pepper Sauce - here its with chicken, but its a versatile sauce and would work with other meats, fish, seafood or eggs, I think.

It looks amazing!

I was amazed too - the colour is great and it has no fat in it (!) so its low calorie too - yet it is velvety and very red.
