Actually, among the pictures I've posted were breaded and fried sausage balls which were finished in the oven, not stir fried (imagine stir frying a meat ball). I suppose the fact that I put the sausage balls on a bed of soba noodles and sauced them and put other items on them as well, led Jens to his error.
A chicken breast picture, more pics 6631Personally, I prefer to avoid plain white plates! It's been my experience with both scanning and photographing digital images for ebay sales that white is a very, very poor...
There was also a bowl of soup. I didn't fry it either. Several pictures involved strips of beef steak which might have been mistaken for stir fried stuff, but I tried to indicate in a brief narrative that the meat had been either pan seared or grilled and rested before I cut it that way for serving. I do this frequently because I'm cooking for two and it helps me portion larger cuts equitably. Also if there's a reduction sauce, as there were in some dishes, slicing it this way allows the sauce more surface contact. I don't think any of the images so far have been of stir fried food.
And I think the red plate -- so roundly despised by some -- are amusing. Funny, even. An artist I'm interested in named Sophie Calle once spent a week eating only food of one color each day and photographed her meals. It was silly, but amusing.
Yup.

We don't eat potatoes chez modom, and I like baked Brussels sprouts and turnip greens. We had no cherry tomatoes in the house.
