Actually, I gotta agree with Gary on part of that. First of all,
though, I don't cook my dinner and leave it sit out for hours while
I take multiple pictures of it. My policy is "no more than 20
seconds in a photo shoot including plating". And that averages
about 6.5 seconds in reality.

That said, when I uploaded the photo (after I ate it) I DID think to
myself that the chicken DOES look kinda cold. But it's not - It's
at least 110F internally - re-warmed in 1,300W microwave at 25%
power for 8 minutes. As the admin of the largest Animal Flesh
Cooking forum on Earth, I have to have a keen eye for things like
that. So consider that a +2 from a professional who agrees with you
on the photographic evidence.

As for the vegetables, they were piping hot 14 seconds previous to
the photo, and only 7 seconds after applying the butter (and it may
not have even been butter, but a "spread" instead <gasp>). So you
really blew that one and score a -3 for that crack.

You should have quit while you were ahead. You're like Pussy Katz
and blab too much - You're both right about 2% of the time. Remember
The Rule: Quality not Quantity. Try and work on that while &*I* work
on my condescension skills (I promise I'll get better at this!)
