Quoted: Quoted: I applaud your attempt with the submission of such a good looking meal. However, few key things are missing. 1. tactical stapler *optional* 2. napkin. 3. primary adult frosty beverage. 4. secondary adult frosty beverage. Check under the spoon see edit. I was too busy drooling on myself to see it the first time.  |

There would normally be a Guinness Draught or a Yuengling Black and Tan in a glass, but I'm cutting out "good" beer and soft drinks for a while (cutting out foods and exercising to support wife doing the same)... I suppose I could have thrown a light beer in there, but I don't really see the point of light beer, so I rokked a water... Mike |

FAIL!
Because you set the bar too high for subsequent dinner pics. 
I would add gravy but that's just technique. Completing the entire process by yourself with no outside interference gives you so many extra credit points, you could post pics of chili mac with beans from a can with plastic utensils and reading a copy of the PETA magazine and STiLL get a ten.

Quoted: Yeah -5 for ghey stance.Quoted: Do you really stand like that? Like as opposed to sitting for dinner, or with my feet together? Sit for dinner, and was posing the feet in the picture for an ARFCOM style picture... so... no and no. Mike I'd rupture myself if my legs were that close together.

I'm 6' tall, 190#... If I lift my junk out of the way, I can stand with my legs crossed... In fact, I do, when standing, getting ready for the sitting portion of NRA Hi-Power... Mike |

Quoted:
6/10 Points deducted for: ––Bacon unnecessary, didn't appear to be part of an overall flavor plan. ––Bacon undercooked. ––Too few vegetables. ––No indication of spices. - Bacon always necessary... especially in something like venison, that has very, very little fat in it. - Try and overcook bacon in a crock pot... Also, try and get bacon flavor by cooking bacon on skillet, and putting cooked bacon in crock pot - 3 veggies. no more needed. - Salt from bacon, and fresh ground pepper added to taste on plate. It didn't need anything else. really. Mike |

Do you really stand like that? +1  I've answered this no less than twice on this page... The more in depth answer is that I was standing on my tip-toes to see the camera screen, because we have a bar-height table, and I had to hold the camera up quite a bit to get the whole scene... I simply held the camera still, dropped from tip-toes, and took the picture... I suppose I could have spread my legs apart like a lot of the low speed, high drag operators seem to think they need to be, but I don't see the point... Mike |

I point my junk forward so I can lean and give my knees a rest.
