    I don't really do much as far as presentation... I really want to start doing a better job at doing so.

    Im more about the eats than the looks. I don't bother to post them much anymore. Pulled pork tacos tonight, they were great. Use your imagination for the images. 
    Wife has pro photo equipment, but its just dinner. I do appreciate those who do, just not that concerned about it myself.

    My servants never leave my side, unless I'm discussing business.  No need for a bell.

    Also in that pic you will notice the misaligned knife.  I had to fire George over that.  He had been with the family for a few years.  You would think he knew better.

    I like the way you think! It seems to me that George had it coming.

    Any one else notice that the knife moved from the origional pic to the quoted pic?
    How did it become a differant pic when quoted?
    Maybe i missed something, a little hung over today.

    I just did. The initial poster of the pic edited his comment so I am guessing it was changed after being quoted. Otherwise, there is a tear in the time-space continuum.

    Good advice.

    So we are clear with my skill set and taking photos, I have a I Phone that I turn on it's side with the picture taking button on top, that's it, you are likely to find all kinds of stuff in my pictures including a fork. That's all I got! My wife still ask me why I am taking pictures of my meat/food!

    X-files .... in truth I posted the wrong pic.  It was quoted while I was editing.

    That is why I fired George.  Made my pic look like heathens live there with the crooked knife.
