Food presentation on the forum

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

For those who want to get freaky with it, here are some cool videos on plating from Chef Steps:

This is my everyday dinner setup.  No need to pretty it up.

very proper...eating forks on the left...work your way in with each meal

Where the hell is your service bell? For shame!

Around my house, that's all finger food why all the hardware?

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.

all i noticed was the missing bottle of wine next to the glass, i would never setup my plate without the  bottle (maybe its welches grape juice)

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.

Another Where's Waldo - can you spot the difference?

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.
