What Did You Eat - Tuesday 30th Sept?

[creative]

I tried out a recipe for Warm Fig Salad - it had lightly grilled figs (intensified the flavour), added to a plate of parma ham, torn up mozzarella, watercress, harissa dressing and toasted hazelnuts. It was a wonderful combination of complimentary flavours and textures. I ate it with a crusty baguette spread with boursin.

(My first attempt at a photo here....think I need to edit it on photobucket rather than vivitar image manager)

I had some more spaghetti squash with the last of the putanesca. I am going to make that again. It was really tasty and is great for a meatless diet. Later I am going to have a wrap with black beans, avocado, lettuce, peppers and whatever else I can find.

TB had some squash with a meat sauce I made up for him, and raw veggies on the side.

What's everyone else having?

Sounds very nice

Look for a macro setting on your camera - the icon is a small flower. It sets the focus to make close-ups more sharp.

We have leftover Thai takeout from lunch. DH got Drunken Noodles with chicken, and I got Pineapple Fried Rice with shrimp. There's also a little bowl of Hot and Sour Soup. Good stuff.

Easy and greasy! Chicken fingers with Cajun spice potato wedges. Sliced cukes, tomatoes and green onions....
Sweet Thai Chili, peanut, honey mustard, sauces for dipping...

Yes I have that symbol on photobucket images. Unfortunately it would not activate/edit and I assumed it was because I already edited the photo on the vivitar image maker, i.e. could not edit twice (once on vivitar and again on photobucket)? Will just edit it on photobucket next time since I have got good results that way.

You should be able to edit an image as many times as you want and, unless the file is set to read-only, you can do it with different editors. But there's only so much an editor can do if a photo was blurry to begin with. Btw, I've been doing graphic design/image editing for over 20 years and have taught it in the past, although I use image editing software on my PC.
