load pictures up on the net.
However I am beginning to wonder if our food pictures are not, at the very
least over done. The radio forces the listener to use their imagination. A
book cause us to create a word picture in our minds that is in line with our
dreams or fears.
Some how the word Porterhouse brings forth a lovely picture of a well
marbled piece of steak ready for some salt and pepper .
Then I click on the link for tiny-pic, lo-and-behold, there is a piece of
dead cow in someone's less than clean kitchen.......
I suspect with few exceptions I may discontinue clicking on these
unappetizing photos. Maybe photos should be restricted to our animals and
the occasional spectacular creation.
(Maybe that is why we're called amateurs)
With all due respect - proof your photos.

Geez, D, I'm not posting for a photo contest. I post to a.b.f. for the
helluva it and to my blog for my family. If I posted an uncluttered

I think my ISP provides some access to binary newsgroups. I forget who
it contracted out to, but it's a different newserver and has limited
ports. Their standard newserver has few binary groups and no limit to
access (although if you aren't logged in through the ISP then you are
prompted for your ISP password). If I'm interested in a post on this
group and there is a URL for pictures, I will often click it.
I have enjoyed Steve's pictures.

You're not posting pictures to r.f.c., Dude.
You might be posting links to pics, though. (I make the distinction.)
Is that what you meant?

The flavor (properly cooked) more than makes up for the texture. ;-)
Besides, it IS possible to cook it without releasing the slime.
I do it by steaming them.

I need to publish those pics I took of the fried squirrel that knocked
out my power a couple of months ago. <eg> She hit the main breaker for
the entire street on the transformer on the pole in my driveway.
Her fur is all singed and so are her whiskers.
Needless to say, she probably died instantly...

I used to make pickled Okra for my mom. She really enjoyed it. I'd
keep the pickle juice in the jar from Claussen's pickles in the
refrigerator, and pack the jar with small, tender Okra pods.
Let them sit for about 2 weeks and they were perfect.
Mom was a good cook so it was hard to impress her. She really liked
those pickled okra and complimented me, and they were easy to make. :-)

Sounded like a shotgun (and not a wimpy skeet load) going off, didn't

I've seen some that are nasty and some that are great. You can look,
or not. Good or not, I enjoy them and I sure hope people keep posting
them. It's nice to see what other foodies are doing. There's a few
people over in ABF who seem to be total slobs, but I still look at
their pictures. Here's a picture of my dirty stove and an herb I grew
for making brownies. <---OB food

Many moons ago, in his mis-spent youth, my uncle nearly died of an

Nah, I just brush the crumbs off of it, plop down the plate, and take
the pic. I've gotta work on those pictures, though. They're not
turning out looking nearly as good as the food does.

I'll have to try that some time. I've never steamed any. Thanks! I

The 2nd recipe is closer to the way I roast okra. I sprinkle mine with
a little kosher salt, if I have the right brand. I bought one brand
that was too coarse and thick.

Looks like the bugs are enjoying it!
Thanks for the picture. I have never, ever seen the stuff. I've heard
so many stories but maybe it just doesn't grow anywhere I've lived or
been. I heard lots of stories from my dad about him and his dad and
their bouts with the stuff.

The nuts look good, but I'm just totally confused. It doesn't make any
