I didn’t use a recipe for this but this is how I made it this time.

Start cooking the pasta.

The meatball mix is about ¹⁄₄ cup of plain bread crumbs, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon parsley flakes, ¹⁄₂ teaspoon onion powder, ¹⁄₂ teaspoon garlic oowder, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, ¹⁄₂ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper and 1 teaspoon worchestershire. Mix this with the ground beef and form into meatballs.

I wanted to test something so I rolled the meatballs in a small amount of panko and browned on two sides. The panko didnt stay crispy so you dont need to do it.

For the sauce I used a can of diced tomatoes and 3 ripe tomatoes. I blended the fresh tomatoes and half the can. I kept half the can diced for texture. Once the meatballs where browned on two sides(not fully cooked) I added the tomato. I added salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, parsley flakes, sugar and red pepper flakes to the sauce.

I cooked this for about 15 minutes until done.

Not calling this AI necessarily, but your top picture and in a lot of your posts are very poor AI-gen or altered…

You just called them AI though.

I shoot raw and jpg in Fujifilm then use Snapseed to change white balance and usually brightness. Export to reduce image size and image dimensions.

The only other thing I changed is that I used the healing to remove my reflection on the bowl. I didnt care that it looked perfect.

Nice balls I bet they’re tasty.

this looks so good, it made me subscribe to this community - well done!

This is one of the side effects I hate about AI being a reality. Everybody thinks everything is AI. And in reality, anything COULD be AI, but that doesn’t mean everything IS AI.

They are using AI tools, and the image is whack. I’m not wrong, it’s just not AI-gen MAYBE. My original comment is still a accurate.

But seriously, you are on the right track. AI isn’t going over almost burn one “side” of the meatballs.

He did say that he wasn’t saying it was AI and then went on to specify that it was poor quality AI or edited.

Well it probably is edited. I have vti edit all my uploads here because otherwise people complain. Turns out that unless you spend more time on lighting and picture taking that food pics suck on a phone screen unless you tweak the colors a bit.

And if it was high quality AI would he have noticed?

Glory to your spaghetti and meatballs.

Thank you! Im glad I could help :)

Well I cant deny that…

You’re very confident for someone who’s wrong.

I’ve made OC image posts on Lemmy since October 2023 which pretty much look the same the entire time. That would mean that I’ve been using AI since before AI could create something remotely passible. Im pretty sure AI looked like shit 2 years ago.

Its the nature of my use of natural lighting and the fact that Ive been using the same camera since 2019. Sometimes I change my Fujifilm simulation recipes but usually not.

Snapseed is not an AI tool. It’s the same basic photography tools that have been arounds since before photoshop. Its basic and free, which is one of the reasons I use it.

But anyway maybe you just need to take a break from the internet. I cant imagine 10,000+ comments in 3 years is very healthy.

God damn. This feels like a mic drop straight into the grave! Jeez! Hopefully the city cleanup won’t take long, because you just dropped a nuke!

Its just a little fustrating when you spend your time creating real OC for the communities you want to flourish for someone to just say “omg this sux donkie dix even though Ive never made any OC”

They reported your comment. The report was not justified. They deleted their own comment. They have earned a 90 vacation from the group for shitty conduct.

For the record I have 5555 comments in 2 years. I don’t feel unhealthy. But a lot of that is replying to comments on my own posts. Not trolling. I save trolling for Facebook.

Have you ever tried using different ground meat? I love the straight forward recipe and meal.

I’ve made meatballs is with ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ ground beef and ground pork. These always comeout very moist. For spaghetti and meatballs and Swedish meatballs. Though the Swedish meatballs have other ingredients like cream, breadcrumbs, diced onion and I think allspice.

For simple recipe it tasted good.
