Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Moon Phases and Impossible Pie

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  For the Moon Phases theme this week I found this Kids video demonstrating the phases of the moon.  If I knew this I had forgotten!  

Here are my Moon Phases pieces:


Waning Crescent



And sharing this Impossible Pie I made with a recipe shared by Denise.  It only has 4 ingredients.  It tasted like a sponge cake, pretty good and so easy!  I didn't use a blender.  After I tested it with a knife the pie fell but that was ok.

4 eggs

1/2c flour

3/4 c sugar

2 c milk


Mix all ingredients together and pour into a pie dish lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.  Test doneness with a toothpick.

I just finished watching "From". The moon painting is fitting for that tv series

Now that I see yours I could´ve joined. My Dad (and Ingo), my Brother and I watched the stars... hm, too late. Well, but the moon was not so interesting anyways. Yet! I even have a 3D-book (unfinished) from Brian May (Queen) of it.
Only 4 ingredients! Sadly I don´t like and Ingo is not allowed sweets...

I keep trying to relearn those phases of the moon but it's not sticking. It would be nice to have a pocket card similar to what you've made for reference. Love them both, and the pie looks like I might want to give it a try.

Beautiful post

So you took the "phases" part of the prompt seriously :) And you even studied up on it ... I am ever so impressed. I took the easy way out and used photos of the moon, mostly over our lake and in the full moon phase. My parents and I used to sit on our deck and study the stars and the moon and phases were always a part of that conversation, but that has been so many years ago, I barely remembered any of it until I saw your awesome chart. Relearning is always good for the brain, right? Love this post ... the pie? Not so sure ... but willing to try.

I did think about these moon phases and learned something Andrea

Your moon phases art is super, Christine. I used to have lots of fun with my school kids learning the phases of the moon. We used do do drawings similar to your painting, but much bigger. I admire your ability to do so much in a little space. Have a great week!

your moon phases can be put to good use when going out to watch it! :)

Sorry to be so late visiting. Friday was not a good day in my world. I'm not whining, just explaining that my GOOD hand hurt, as did the rest of my body, in part to my inability to breathe due to the winds from the wild fires in Canada and in part from overworking at my friend Sally's house last Thursday when I brought in 200 lbs of cat litter she had ordered from Amazon. Then today I can barely sit because of a muscle I pulled in my back from carrying in the litter.

I LOVE your moon phases. They are fabulous. And that Impossible Pie sounds great, too.
