Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - The First Thing You See Today


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  The theme is 'The First Thing  You See Today'.  I chose to draw my 2 phones that sit at my end table (ACEO 2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It is the first thing I see in the mornings.  I keep my older phone beside the newer one as it works better for sending blogger comments these days, go figure.



I baked some fish the other day, Buffalo Carp,  400F for 20 minutes.  It was good!  Just add your favourite seasonings and some olive oil.  I used fresh oregano in particular.

  1. Actually you are partially right with your cute sketch.
    Without my glasses on I grab my cell that works for in case I might oversleep (which never happens).
    Then I put on my glasses and see the things in the bathroom.
    So... I did not really lie, did I?

    If our oven would not take ages to get the temp... Your fish looks yummy (and I´m not a fan of fish).

  3. If the dog doesn't snuggle up right away it is my phone I see. Kind of sad, isn't it? Of course I could see my husband but he is (usually) up before me. Happy rest of your week. hugs-Erika

  4. I'm laughing at your comment about your phone and blogger. What a great way to interpret that prompt.

    I've never eaten carp. I thought they weren't edible for some reason. I'm delighted you shared your recipe, though. Loved that you used fresh oregano.

  11. Nice drawing of the phones. I have never tried using my phone in any capacity for blogging or commenting. I still like using my desktop for that:) Never heard of that fish, but I'm sure I'd really like it- haven't had a fish I didn't like ... yet:)

  14. Good sketch, I think for many the first thing they see is their mobile phone!

    Buffalo Carp is new to me, but this article about them was an interesting read.

  21. My phone sits unnoticed on my nightstand ... usually I forget about it until I realize I need it, then I go looking for it. I would, however, never leave the house without it because I always feel safe when I have it with me. And, of course, I use it to take pictures when the opportunity arises. I used to carry my camera with me everywhere, but there isn't much in my neighborhood to photograph so the phone will do for now. That said, I think the phone cameras are as good as the regular cameras ... they just don't have the option of different lenses. So your fish looks good enough to eat :). I didn't used to like fish, but have learned out of necessity to eat more of it ... and the more I eat, the more I like it :) Have a wonderful week, Christine ...
