Cooked and photographed in your home kitchen ...

Fried mashed potato with left over cooked cabbage (or peas or even brussels sprouts) are great - known as Bubble and Squeak in the UK. Traditionally eaten during the week/made from left over mashed potato and veg from the Sunday roast.

B&S: I always wondered what that was. I usually save the liquid from cooking corned beef to cook more cabbage, carrots, & potatoes to make it last.

[QUOTE=PhotosGuy;18087​315]Non naming names, but someone mentioned making potato pancakes with mashed potato mix. Blekhh! How could anyone possibly equate them with grated potatoes with the little crispy bits sticking out at the edges? And chunks of onion inside?
So I shot this:

Snapped this one really quickly before it was shredded to pieces...the shot is what it is but the roasted pork fillet with butter and sea salt roasted baby spuds and some salad that didn't make it to the picture, were great

Shrimp Medley with fresh tomatoes, peppers, and spinach supplied from a gracious neighbor along with some garlic, onions and cauliflower. Served over rice.

I could just devour it now, Dave! Beautiful dish and beautiful light

Thank you so much. I feel the same about many of the meals you have posted especially the baked breads and such. My neighbor has a big garden and I love fresh vegetables. Experimenting with off camera flash and a bounce card.

Thank you for your kind words, Dave.
Well, your experiments with off camera flash and a bounce card seem very successful! Keep up the good work.
I, unfortunately, never have enough time to shoot food properly. I'm always the cook, the server, photographer and the starving one, too But I love cooking

I'm in the same boat. My meals are usually half eaten before I think about taking a photo.

Nice steak! My mother cooked green beans like that. Try just a few minutes so they come out bright green. After all, we can eat them raw, no? ; )

Gene, that looks so juicy that I could demolish one right now! Love that little fork, too

Thanks. This was a bit of an homage to how my mother used to make green beans. She used canned green beans which are what I used in this case too.

Ah, got it, comfort food! I'd forgotten about canned ones.

Speaking of Mom's ... that looks pretty close to how my Mom wants her green beans. She wants me to simmer that can of beans - with bacon - for at least two hours and I will usually accommodate her since we have green beans several times a week. Seems the past two summers I haven't seen very nice fresh green beans, but when I do, I cook them my way which is to pan fry some nice bacon til crisp (set aside and crumble), then saute some onion and perhaps some red bell pepper in the bacon grease. Then layer the onion, pepper and bacon grease over some lightly steamed (fresh) green beans. Gosh, I am hungry now and I am just coming down from a nice batch of home made lentil soup and cheese toast.

Anyways, that is a good looking steak Gene; plenty of flavor (fat) around the sides. Is that a grocery store steak or do you have a butcher?

I'd call that well, well beyond "Well Done"! ; D
