I'm not taking photos for magazine covers. Those take hours to
assemble. By the time a dish is photoworthy enough for a magazine
over, it's inedible - if it's even real food and not Play-Doh.
 
I spend no more than 45 seconds plating/arranging/photographing
before I eat. Some come out good, other not so great. IDGAS. My
photos are for quick inspiration. Half the photos in books and
magazines don't even match their recipe and directions anyway.
 
And I don't like the full peel. Peeling them this way gives me
little strips of peel for texture and also presentation. The rest
goes in the trash or disposal.

Wow. Aren't the seeds still in the spears or do you core them too?
Pickle spears on burgers?

McDonalds used salt brined pickled which are gawd awful. They sit
in salt vats for up to 12 months then are desalinated again with
fresh water, then flavored with vinegar and whatever the fuck else.
 
"Fresh Pack" only for me. These are pickles that have gone from farm
fresh to jar. Even better are the fermented "live" pickles (but
expensive).

When I was a child, there was a widespread belief that it caused
indigestion so it was usually peeled off.

OK, that could have been it. I thought it was in the context of your
XP Laptop, so I heard "Gates". But first I heard "Steve..." and I
may have gotten a bit skittish. I was getting ready to say "Ed"....
 
Nah, I was actually kinda wanting to tell him you I was Sqwertz. But
you didn't give me any room and I let it go :-)

John, when "STEVE WERTZ" called you, did he regale you with erotic stories, or maybe even ask you for a date...???

Even with an explanation, you just have to play the victim. Have at it
and enjoy yourself.

WOW! Just beautiful!! I've started a Dresden plate quilt and that's
about it. Started it. Does she do the quilting portion, too, or does
she send the top out to a long arm quilter??
 
The only thing that got me out of the house this past Sunday to shop
was that I had a one day only 60% off coupon. I wasn't going to let
that pass without me galloping to their store.

Nah. It adds a bit of color to the face but it didn't matter since no
one could see my lips.

Optometrists examine eyes, opticians grind the lenses, (my oldest brother
was one) and Ophthalmologists treat eye diseases.

You can always paint the lipstick on the outside of the mask :)

I never seem to find anything good in thrift stores. But I use this

I've got a silicon pastry brush but nothing as fancy as yours with the
little jar.

Well, it's not exactly a thrift store, but a free used goods area at my town's dump. It's a trailer outfitted with shelves for items our residents no longer want but are still serviceable. My favorite finds were a bullhorn, a bobble head Pope Francis statue, and a brand new Stun Gun.

I use mine to brush things I blast in the toaster oven. It beats
shallow or deep frying and saves oil. I also use the spray cans of
Costco PAM-like stuff, but that stuff goes all over the place (and
into your lungs).

I'll trade you for the stun gun. I've always wanted to try one of
those.
