 I might be an ok photographer, but I'm a lousy cook. I totally butchered the poached egg but was running out of time (and eggs). Didn't have a clue how to make the sauce, so this is some leftover Ben Moore latex paint I had in the basement... although I think it may be obvious that's paint. Minor PP: cloned spots, healing brush, a little selective saturation and a slight blur to soften the red background.

good one! not sure I would have figured it out wothout the title, but the pun made it worth it! very nicely lit also with well controlled lighting on the plate.

Gotta be the most outrageous title of the challenge :-) I won't deduct for the fact that this is a pot lid, not a plate...
