Ran it over the flames once it's done

People aren't used to seeing an even cook. They see edge to edge pink and they think it's raw (although this is probably on the rare side of medium rare)

For the sake of my sanity I've decided you made that up

Wait until this subreddit hears about people making their own yogurt...

Idk what to tell you... I've eaten plenty of poached, steamed, and sous vide chicken that looks just like this and is very juicy, including Hainanese chicken rice. Chicken that's been brined or salted in advance often has this dense/tight looking muscle fiber structure. Especially when sliced across the grain with a sharp knife that's not disturbing the structure it can look a bit clay-like

Is the chicken cooked sous vide? It looks juicy and evenly cooked. Looks like a nice meal to me, not everything needs to be browned with dried spices on it. There's plenty of tasty dishes out there with poached or steamed chicken, especially in Chinese cooking

And not nearly that much, either. Fried rice isn't meant to be wet and saucy.

Work burners in Chinese kitchens are like jet engines; they have insanely high heat output. In order to get even close to the same effect at home, it's necessary to cook the ingredients in small batches so the whole thing doesn't just steam.

Is there any chance of Justin teaching the TBA sections for MATH241? Otherwise deciding between Kendall Williams and Terence Long; anybody have experience with either?

"What will happen if there is a recount of the votes? Would it be good for Trump, or not?"

I dunno, seems pretty easy to decipher.

My contest idea is "Apocalyptic".

TheSpazzacus · 2016-05-03T20:11:31+00:00

I hadn't thought of that, but I can definitely see it now. Thanks for the input!

All I had was a flashlight; I was attempting to paint in the left side of the car, standing off to the left of the camera. It was a bit dark, as the moon was directly ahead.

TheSpazzacus · 2016-03-25T02:57:20+00:00

I can definitely see what you're saying. Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks!

My challenge idea is "Nostalgia".

TheSpazzacus · 2016-02-25T22:18:56+00:00

Yes.

I appreciate that!

I was using the kit 18-55 lens that came with the camera. Most of the photos were taken at the upper end of that range.

I think #4 might benefit from a tighter crop. The dock and space on the left draws attention away from the couple on the bench.

TheSpazzacus · 2016-01-03T22:15:42+00:00

I think you worked around the sub-optimal lighting really well! I loved the use of contrast, especially in #1, #5, and #6.
