  As much as I enjoy being a carnivore; I also enjoy eating vegetarian or vegan on occasion.   This meal is great example.   “BBQ Tofu” on a bed of stir-fried vegetables with sweet potato glass noodles. This meal utilized a few of the products from DaesangAmerica .   Those products are indicated by a *. The tofu was pressed, cut and seasoned with *“Korean BBQ Kick” seasoning and griddled.   As it was cooking, I glazed it with * “Korean BBQ sauce and Marinade, spicy”. The vegetable/glass noodle mixture utilized, among other ingredients:   *Premium Sesame Oil”, *Gochujang and *Sweet Potato Glass noodles.   This meal was unplanned and utilized ingredients that were on hand.   Even being impromptu, it had great flavor and lots of textures. #LifelongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood #DaesangAmerica #Gochujang #SesameOil #SweetPotatoGlassNoodle #Tofu As always, your questions or comments are welcome.

  Looking at my year in food photos there are some that stand out more than others. They stand out for a variety of reason: The flavor of the dish, the photo itself or the memory of the textures in the dish. This is one of my favorites. It incorporates all of the attributes mentioned.  Pecan crusted steel head trout on a bed of Korean sweet potato glass noodles with kimchi. This one rang many bells! #LifeLongLearning #LifeLongTeaching #FamilyFood    Until nex time, Bon Appetit Y'all Leslie Bartosh

 Food Photography Food photography, recipe development and product utilization are interests of mine.  Recently, I was privileged to receive some constructive criticism and suggestions from a Chef.  He was kind enough to reach out on his own volition.  Thank you Chef!  I am trying to incorporate some of his suggestions in my photos.   Since many of the photos I take are of our actual meals, it can complicate things. 😀  Still, there is room for growth.   The photo below, actually required three different sessions.  The first session (dinner time), I forgot that I made some changes to the settings of the camera and absolutely no photos were usable.  Thankfully there were some leftovers that I could use the next day. After the leftovers spent the night in the refrigerator, I pulled them out and remade the plate from the previous evening.  The second session yielded some nice photos.  But, I was not happy with the angles.  After the session, I broke down the plate and put everything back
