  1. Well I did:

    http://i1.tinypic.com/o87406.jpg

    I used chicken sausage spiked with a little Mexican chorizo and minced
    garlic. Also on the plate are a slaw made with shredded cabbage onto
    which I poured a warm garlic/salt/minced red pepper/cumin/olive oil
    infusion.

    Those are soba noodles underneath the balls. Heheh. Underneath the
    balls. Heh

    The sauce is made from reduced turkey stock (last of it in the house),
    a little chipotle powder, some smoked paprika, some Chinese cooking
    wine, a couple of bay leaves, garlic, cumin, and a bit of coconut
    milk. (I was thinking of a soup I had once at Gloria's, a Salvadoran
    place in Dallas -- the bay and coconut combo came from there.)

    Jicama strips and chopped cilantro lie on top of the balls (heh). It
    was really good. Asian/Latin fusion.

    I see a dark glob on the right. Cold that be them? You need a little work
    on the photography as the lighting is poor.

    Yes. Sausage ball details are still somewhat hidden but overall you can see
    more of everything..

    Needs a sense of ethetics, he has none... and those horrendous red/blue
    plates gotta go. Food could be good but the slovenly way it's
    presented, disasterous.

  7. 1. Don't use red plates; they skew the color balance something fierce.

    2. More light. One overhead and diffuse, one oblique and more direct.

    3. Focus. Please.

    4. Less depth-of-field; i.e., move back and zoom in to fill the frame
    instead of zooming out and moving closer.

    5. Care in plating. Don't let the food slop all over. Wipe up
    smears.

    Then maybe, just maybe, food that sounds like it should be appetizing
    will look appetizing.

    Somewhat, but the red plate and the focus and depth of field are
    smudging the entire image.

    Oh, give me a break! I'm sorry, but I really don't understand all the hostility and weird comments
    people are making about his food picture posts. So what if the plates are bright (bright and simple is
    better than fussy, hideous patterns) or the photography or plating isn't absolutely perfect - ? I, for one
    (possibly the only one; most posts I have seen have been complaints, but whatever!) enjoy seeing the
    pictures.

    Here, maybe this is more to your taste:

    No. The food looks like [censored]. And his shouldn't. If he learned to
    take a picture, it would probably look very appetizing. Or at least
    slightly so.

    This looks no different than that soup pic you posted the other day.
    Do you realize that each and every one of your dishes look the same?
    Every time it's the same thing: a sloppy mass covered with jicama
    strips with some sliced fruit that looks like you retrieved them from
    the garbage can. I keep clicking on the links in the hope that you'll
    present something that looks appealing, alas my efforts are in vain.
    BTW I hope you didn't pay a lot of money for that set of dishes, they
    are just awful.

    You speak as though your opinions were laws of nature. And that's
    never a good idea.

    Let me ask you something: What was your motivation for writing what
    you wrote above? Be honest, now. Look into what you have in your
    chest that passes for a heart and tell me what you gain from such
    contrafactual insults. Do you feel at all better when you behave so?
    Is it an ego thing, maybe? Not enough warm fuzzies in your day?

    Anyhow, you're a few days late with this bit of foolishness. The
    plates have been explained twice.

    She is being honest... something you need to learn, alibi boy. Not
    only can't you cook, you can't write. Your writing is as slovenly as
    your cooking; all sentence fragments and superfluous commas. It's
    impossible to believe that you earn your living as an educator, if so
    you're a thief... seems in Texas they ain't too picky.

    I know you intend to be a pain in the ass, but your attempt
    is falling flat.

    Several other people have pointed out the same problems
    I did.

    And if you don't think that food looks like [censored], then
    you should bring a minder to meals.

    I think the Lady is a man. TAM at Commerce is not exactly "higher
    education." It is an Texas A&M satelite campus.. which means it used to
    be a "jr" college that attracted few. So they renamed it in hopes of some
    enrollment. SOS ..different name..sorta like the red plate. I think
    Commerce was originally supposed to be in Arkansas.

    Your arrogance knows no bounds does it?
    Get off your bleedin high horse and let the guy post. Sure constructive
    critisism is useful, but you come across as a knowit all blowhard with
    all the subtlety and tact of a train crash. Where are your
    communication skills? What are you Simon Cowell or summat?

    This is all error. A simple Web search would have set you right, but
    it wouldn't have enabled you to spew the ad himonems you appear to
    love so dearly.

    Anyhow, I don't think I'll continue talking with you.
