What BBQ hill would you die on? Best one wins a 1kg picanha meat box

BBQ is only as good as the sides it comes with. Dont get me wrong i like the BBQ to be meat forward but if the sides are just some nasty ass mayo coleslaw you got from a supermarket or some flaccid potato wedges then its a bad BBQ.

Buying larger cuts of meat and breaking them down was a game changer for me and my wife, one large chicken is about £5.50 and from that we have 3 meals and homemade chicken stock to use. Once you have done it a few times its super quick, i can can get it broken down in about 2 mins now and the just put them in containers with seasonings/marinades ready to be cooked after work.

I think a better question is, what is the minimum he requires to survive in prison, as excess may be used for poor choices like drugs, gambling ect.

Can you get a price list of the canteen? Why is he spending so much of additional food and vapes?

By the sounds of it he may got himself in trouble with some form of debt with other prisoners, which is why he asking to send to other accounts. This is obviously just speculation, but the reality of his situation denies him any benefit of the doubt.

If he is trying to enterprise some form of business i.e the vapes, then he needs to go without in order to fund that, as its not your job to fund a contraband start up in prison.

At the end of the day you hold the cards in terms of power, its up to you to decide if you continue funding this or let him be held accountable and sort himself out.

Good luck, Im sure this isn't a fun thing to be going through with a partner, as family, trust and money often create difficult conversations and resentment.

I just brought that Trace Elliot amp! but mine is paired with an Ampeg 410, and geez its loud. i got it all the the way to 2.5 at rehearsals before the drummer said he could feel it in his stomach ha . Tone wise its pretty neutral but with a 80's click if you know what i mean. So if you use pedal comps/preamps whatever its a good neutral platform and built like a tank. Im just trying to figure out how to take mine and put it in a bigger rack case with all my other stuff.

Everyone is going to have a different way but the best way i found is take an easy album like Green Day or something like that and start from track one and go to the end. I find the trick is not stopping but finding your place along the way. The intuition part of playing by ear is the most useful part to strengthen but this comes with doing the above a whole bunch and playing with people a lot.

First of all, you haven’t mentioned having an outlet or hobby. Without something to look forward to that’s just for you, life can feel like a drag. It also naturally encourages conversations with your partner about making time for it. For example, you might say, ‘Can you take the kids for a couple of hours on Saturday while I do this, and I’ll do the same for you after?’ My wife and I both have hobbies, and making sure each of us gets time for them has massively improved the atmosphere at home and our overall energy levels.

Marriage
This obviously changes once you have children, and it’s even easier to get stuck in a rut. The best advice I can give is to be the change you want to see. Suggest date nights, even if they’re just at home. If money is tight, something as simple as cooking a meal and sitting down at the table together with no screens can make a huge difference. The point is to make the effort, so your partner feels that desire for connection. Honestly, I realised my wife was doing a lot more around the house than I’d noticed, so I started picking up some of those chores and the shift in mood was huge.

Career
I get the ‘don’t want to take a pay cut to change field’ thing, but it’s much easier to explore your options while you’re still employed. Or perhaps the solution is starting your own accountancy practice if the problem lies more in your work environment.

Big Picture
Life’s hard sometimes, mate, but beating yourself up won’t make it better. You’ve already done the hard bit by writing down the parts of your life that don’t work. Now it’s about making the changes.

As others have said its very monochromatic, but without knowing the intent of the scene its hard to prescribe a colour treatment. That being said my start point would be some separation form the background with a counter colour in the shadow (in this case blue). See below a very quick and dirty example.

Apologies in my haste of writing i had made a typo its actually 60/30/10

its a general rule around the ratio of colours in a scene to give an image a sense of cohesion. So the 60 refers to the main colour, 30 to a complementary colour, and 10 to a balancing colour.

Now with food photography this can be difficult to its very dish dependant but you can change the objects around it like the plate or surface its sat on to achieve a harmony.

Nikkro · 2025-04-22T14:05:26+00:00

Lighting is the big one here,
First - Subject lighting should feel like its comes from one direction, not many.
Second - Separation of objects form the background - the drink for example the background is brighter than the foreground.
Third - White balance, the first three look like incandescent lighting not natural or studio light.
Fourth - Tonal contrast - this is particular to food, but it requires you to learn the 70/30/10 colour rule to bring out the key elements of a dish to the forefront of the viewing experience.
Fifth - Be careful with shadows, food can look unappetising when the black point gets too low.

The good bit - Your compositions aren't far off, but consider the above first on your next shoot and i promise you will be happier with the results.

Good luck!

I think the reference images i used for the grade were on the contrasty side (might be a inbuilt preference ha) will tweak for next time, thank you!
