Dinner tonight was leftover smoked brisket (from the freezer) bolognese over purchased fresh pasta. It was okay, but not a make again per Craig, though he did have seconds. I thought it was pretty good and would make again with a couple of tweaks but oh well.

I'm expecting a grocery deliver between 18h and 20h (6 and 8 PM), so the plan is a country omelette and toast.

A crunchy dinner salad and the last of a family size box of SeaPak frozen butterfly shrimp.

I have Jasmine Rice in the rice cooker, ready to push the button. And, mise en place is done for Phuket Sweet and Sour Scallops. I've not made them in a while...can't wait! Once you remember something, it is hard to get it out of your head!

It reminds me of the Short Ribs dish I made for New Year's. Looks very good!

Pan seared pork chops with roasted potatoes and carrots, and a small loaf of home made bread.

The plan was shrimp and veggie stir-fry. The reality is take-out pizza, a chicken-broccoli-alfredo version.

Chicken pot pie, stewed apples. Vanilla ice cream for dessert. Popcorn later as a before bed snack.

Thai Green Beef Curry (hot!)
The curry was actually a very pretty bright and vibrant green which hasn’t translated to this picture

Jade, play with your camera settings. I finally found a button the does a "natural" colour instead of the yellowish hue so many of them have. I think it's a type of filter but it is not under/in the filter button. On my android, it is a little wand in the upper right corner. I use the "natural" setting that is the first choice i a long line of different hues.
Hope this helps. Wish I could be more tek savy to explain.

I usually fix the colour, contrast, and brightness after the picture is taken. I use Google Pictures or Irfan View. I'm not great at it.
Wow, you have patience taxy! If I miss on the setting before the pic is taken - too bad, so sad. that's the way it stays.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I will definitely try this out.
LOL, either way, the curry was delicious and I was slightly surprised because MrJade happily wolfed it down even though it was a bit hotter than he is used to. Baby steps and all

Actually, I meant to mention it LOOKS hot with those red peppers. Those would be giant steps for me!
