A bit of narcissism

Ellen wanted a picture of me cooking while wearing the T-shirt she sent me. I'm not cooking here, and I thought this picture looked better as black and white (the energy-saving bulbs kind of spoiled the color). You can't see the bright orange color of the shirt, but you can see my official title. When I tried to edit out the green pallor of the fluorescent lighting, the shirt and my head started to glow and flare like the sun.
I'm wearing the T-shirt as I'm topping the baked steelhead trout with roasted red pepper coulis. That's a roasted red beet next to it. This is the entree I cooked for Mom (Lindz made a salad of baby greens, pears, pomegranate seeds, local goat cheese, pecans and vinaigrette, and she took these pictures). We've done a good bit of eating out this weekend, and it felt good to work in the kitchen. Bryan cooked Chicken in Riesling the previous evening out of a cookbook he got in Germany.

Looks way good. We had a walleye and romesco sauce dish at Tapawingo, so there must be something about the fish and red pepper combo that really works.

Excellent shirt.
Your camera doesn't have white balance adjustment?

mmmmm... steelhead. I can't wait for the fall run here in Boise. I might have to go buy a permit to fish for them.

Ahah! So it fits. Excellent.
(I'm still shocked by the shortness of your hair.)

I think the b/w just means that next time, you'll have to make your brother take the picture - in his shirt. ;o)

And, yes red peppers and fish go really well together. Looks lovely!
