Honestly, using natural light and getting close to the subject is 99% of it. You can take great pics with an ancient 2mp camera if you follow those rules. Of course there are some lovely cell phone cameras out there, though.

Get the same or more natural light than the flash produces

My kitchen faces east though that's kinda tricky. I'm overdue for a phone upgrade though but I'm not in a big hurry to drop cash when it works.

Yeah natural light works best. My pics look shittier and shittier as the sun sets earlier. My ugly kitchen lights don’t do much for the food. Luckily I started a new job that I don’t have to be in until noon. So I’ve been cooking my dinners in the bright morning sunlight the last few months.

 A poor photo of something that nearly brought me to tears. Kimchi Fried Rice, with a small amount of pork loin diced in. Apologies that the small bowl hid the actual rice, and I overcooked the egg slightly due to being Friday Lit. However this was... amazing. Like really freakin good. Like sad I finished it good. Dang.

My brother dropped off a present for me earlier today: So I made pan-seared seabass w/ tomato and garlic couscous, roasted San Marzano tomatoes and a garlic lemon butter.   6h from sea to plate, can't get much fresher than that.

BraveUlysses posted:Thai satay pizza, used peanut sauce for the pizza sauce I miss peanut sauce. Our daughter is allergic and I could theoretically just make it for myself and my wife but I worry too much about cross contamination. Might try to make a fake peanut sauce this week. We have this stuff called Wow Butter and it's decently similar to peanut butter in texture if not flavor. It's made with roasted soy beans. Naturally my child doesn't like it, so it's just been taking up space.

 Homemade crunchwrap. Used ground turkey instead of beef with a homebrew taco seasoning, cheddar, shredded iceberg, tomatoes, onion, sour cream, tostada in the center of course, and added some quick pickled jalapenos. Topped with guacamole and cilantro when I ate it (not pictured). It was unbelievable.

I had leftover pancit, some Japanese curry, and a strong desire to try making a tornado omlette Honestly not as hard as I thought it would be (this was the 2nd one). If my non-stick wasn't such poo poo it would have been easier

  Dinner tonight is this loaf of bread. It has been an incredibly long time since I baked a loaf of bread and I've never been good at it anyway, so I used this week to get try and learn the process again, using what limited resources I can get my hands on (no access to bread flour, or a good dutch oven, or etc). It's my dinner because this is attempt #3 this weekend after two incredibly bad gently caress-ups. But they were gently caress-ups I learned from that eventually got me to this passable loaf, so I can't complain too much.

Hell yeah bread! I know there’s a baking thread but I’m a newbie baker too just baking to stay out of the grocery store. I made a sourdough loaf and a couple white loafs. Which I have used for all meals including dinner!!

Made some ramen for dinner. Started the noodles (https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2020/04/easy-ramen-noodles.html) last night, then tonight made a soup base from turkey stock made with thanksgiving's bones, dashi, miso, etc. Cooked some pork belly sous vide then crisped and glazed it in the bag juice, agave and soy sauce. Also started some soy eggs the other day for tonight. Had some mushrooms that needed to be used so sauteed them with some onion and seasoned with togarashi. Not exactly authentic, but tasted great.   Bakedbaking soda is kind of a pain in the dick and it smells weird, but the noodles had that classic ramen bite to them so I guess I can't argue with the results of making your own caustic powders at home.
