Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - An easy Appetizer and 'Scarves'


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  

For the dinner date I have an appetizer to show you.  We had a package of fig and olive crackers we had received as a Christmas gift.  I decided to put some brie cheese on top with some cranberry sauce.  It was delicious!  It is great to serve as a party appetizer perhaps, and so easy!

The next day I decided to have some for breakfast!  4 of these crackers is about the same as a slice of toast.




And here is my art ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") using acrylic markers for the 'Scarves' theme:

Those specialty crackers with brie looks fabulous. That is one LONG scarf on the snowman. We both had a snowman and we both had mandarin oranges this week.

Hi Wanda

Looks delicious! Cute snowman!

That sounds delicious. I get a soft spreadable brie from Trader Joes and they have crackers like yours, though I don't know if they have fig and olive (I will check the next time I go). I have spread brie on them for breakfast more than once and now you have piqued my taste buds so I must make a trip to Trader Joes :)
Your snowman in the wind is adorable ... I love your art. It always captures more than just the picture :) Stay warm and cozy, Christine ...
