My First Digital Food Photos
I received a Fuji Finepix (which I love) for my birthday, and I
finally got a chance to upload some of the photos to my computer. I took these last month, of a pot roast and veggies. It's just out of the cast iron pan, about to go into the oven to stay warm while I make gravy. No fancy plating, sorry, this was a casual family meal: http://home.avvanta.com/~dragon/potroast1.jpg http://home.avvanta.com/~dragon/potroast2.jpg -- Jani in WA |

I would suggest you slice that pot roast while it's cooled off, hot pot roast usually just shreds and falls apart into a gloppy stringy mess. It's not necessary to serve pot raost steaming hot but if you want to rewarm it rewarm the slices in the gravy. |

> > We had Filipino style pot roast tonight... good stuff! What's Filipino pot roast? Just guessing, I'd say it's deep-fried, in lard. :-) Whoops, Google provided the answer. You posted the recipe only 9 years ago. How could I have forgotten? ------- begin Googled recipe -------- I'm not one for knowing Filipino names of food, but I do make some dishes. It's so easy to make, even my husband can make it. ;-) Filipino pot roast 1 "seven-bone" chuck roast (I get the big ones, but you can use smaller) 2 T cider vinegar 2 T chinese style soy sauce (I use Koon Chun thin soy sauce) 3/4 C. water 1 bay leaf (this is not optional) 5 cloves of garlic, peeled and sliced in half 1 lg onion quartered 6 carrots, peeled and cut in 1/2 lengthwise and each 1/2 into thirds The sauce is a typical not salty, not sour sort of balance. Taste til you get it right. Add more vinegar or soy until the taste is balanced. This should equal about 1/4 cup total. Then just fill the remainder of the cup with water (3/4). Place your pot roast into an oven proof pan - I use my largest (14 inch) caste iron pan, but a roasting pan is just fine for this. Stud the meat with garlic and pour the sauce over it all. Add the bay leaf to the sauce, tightly cover the pan with an oven proof lid or foil and cook for at least 2 hours at 350. Time will vary according to the size of the roast. Take the cover off and continue cooking until the meat is almost tender. At this point, add the vegetables and more water, if needed. I crank my oven up to 400 to make this dish, because I watch the process and make sure it stays moist. When the meat is cooked (a fork goes into it easily) and the vegetables are ready, take it all out of the pan and boil down the liquid - if necessary. Serve with pleanty of steamed rice. mmmmm! |

I agree about the lighting thing, but I still haven't figured out how to get a picture without the flash, because I still haven't RTFM.
