Octodogs and Starfish

I didn't think that this one would have a theme until I saw the octodogs against the starfruit. I hope that the fruit is ripe enough to eat. I had to use a paring knife on the edges because they were turning a bit brown. On the side is fried winter squash of unknown origin. In the little container is some chopped up pickled burdock root. I felt that added some nice color. Of course there is rice in the container I don't have a picture of. Served with some soy and she should like the lunch. Now, what to do with the rest of the mini hot dogs? I wish they sold them fresh were I got them from, so I could freeze them individually, but alas, they did not.

Oddly, the pictures I took without the flash were brighter than this one. I will get the hang of this camera if it kills me! I do have a rudimentary photo editing software, so that is why it is neatly cropped.
