The Mystery Dish

This looks quite tasty, and I'm sure it was -- in February when I cooked it.

The problem is, I truly have no idea what it was, nor when exactly I made it...

Why the hell don't I label my food photos the moment I upload them?

Postscript on Saturday April 5th: for those of you who suggested "pork and vegetables over orzo," I have news for you: I managed to find out what this was by looking in my meal diary, and actually it's a real dish with a real name, and from a famous cookbook to boot!

So the original point of my post was just to moan about how I don't label my food photos, not to turn this into another guessing game. But now that I know what it was, you can guess away!

tut-tut...that's exactly what I was going to say! Looks like pork, veggies on orzo. Mystery solved.

Sorry tut-tut and alisa -- as I explained in my postscript, you're a little off-base. And now I DO know what it was, so I can better deal with more guesses.

What about some ''sauté de veau aux courgettes avec du riz basmati ''veal stew with zucchinis on basmati rice'')

I am going through a whole heap of photographs found in the attic at the moment and can't remember the people or places let alone any food pictures. Well done for keeping a meal diary.

The more I look at it, the more I think that it might be lamb after all...

I have been running into the same problem, going through my old photos to match them with recipes and upload them to my site...
At best, it's a good guees - trying to match the food with any recipe at all.
Damn, I hate it when I'm stupid, lazy or both...
Great looking dish, whatever its name.

Oh, I did the same thing and like you, got frustrated when not knowing what it is called...learning the hard way. Hopefully we'll remember how it tasted like! I can't be original enough with a name, I just simply think it looks delicious!
