Bump, because I love showing off my cooking :P
Also, when you capture the recipe info, is that just your average screenshot function?0 -

I just thought my lunch looked pretty and should take a picture of it, but I thought who would want to see my lunch until I saw your postings.
See it is a good idea (as I kick myself)
You have to make food visually stimulating as well as something tht will stimulate your taste buds or else we get bored and cheat or go out to eat and who knws how healthy that stuff is?
I think you just kicked salad and a sandwiches' *kitten* to the curb with this post!!
I think I will have to copy some of your food ideas for my next lunch!0 -
Great idea. How do you post a picture with the ingredients?0

OK...this is where you see how odd I am that I would take the trouble do this. Actually, I was going to do it as a record for myself anyway. I just added a few steps to post the pics online. I just may want to refer back someday and have this info, so it's not really a waste of my time. Actually, I work odd hours, so I am often up when the rest of the house is asleep. Doing oddball stuff at the computer is better than watching TV at two in the morning!
Actually, it's quick once you get it down. It just SEEMS complicated, but it only takes a couple minutes.
Open two tabs in your browser. One MFP and one photobucket or whatever.
Open a word doc. Insert the pic.
Swap windows to your MFP screen and copy the nutritional info.
Paste that into the word doc.
Now convert that to a jpg. Here's what I do, but there are other ways.
I export as a pdf. You can do multiple pages if you are doing more than one meal.
The pdf will probably open automatically. When it does, save it as a jpg. It will make one file for each page.
Upload those jpg's to photobucket just like you would to post any other pic to MFP (there are threads on that).
Copy the IMG code and paste in a post on MFP. Change the letters IMG to img at both the beginning and end of the line.
Viola! Done deal.
Now that I have made it seem overly complicated, someone will probably tell me that I could have eliminated a few of those steps. This is OK with me, though, because I really wanted a word doc of these things. And, c'mon, I am 50 years old. If I can do this stuff, I KNOW some of the younger folks here will be able to tell us how to do it in one or two steps!
And really, lets be realistic. Just a photo with a sentence or two that includes calorie counts would be cool. As long as the rest of us can figure out the basic ingredients, we're good to go.0 -
Thanks for the instructions.0
