Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Summer Sound and Roasted veg with garlic and parmesan

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! The theme is 'Draw a Summer Sound'. I chose to do a Cicada insect (ACEO ( 2 1/2" x 3 1/2). It is done in acrylic pen.  Here is a video of the cicada sound.


 For the Dinner date, I am sharing my roasted green beans with mushrooms, garlic and parmesan.

It is an easy and delicious way to make several vegetables at once.  In a baking tray lined with parchment paper, mix together:

3 tbs olive oil

1/2 tsp garlic powder

1 tbs butter

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbs lemon juice

4 c sliced mushrooms

4 c trimmed green beans

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes

1/3 c grated parmesan

Bake 400F for 20 mins.

You drew that great.
The cicadas are the epitome of summer... I love this sound and I'm sad when it ends... because then summer is over here with us.
Many greetings to you from Viola

Cicadas are definitely a summer sound, aren't they? Those beans look great. I've never roasted beans before, but I have lightly fried them. Hope it's a good day Christine.

Danny makes a similar dish to the one you featured here, Christine, and it is delicious. I hear cicadas buzzing away in our trees all summer long - I love the sound!

Yes, those are surely Summer Sounds. Crickets are singing their song too.

I've never seen or even heard a cicada, but I love your drawing. Your meal would make this vegetarian very happy. I may try this soon/

Oh I know that critter and his/her sound. I was surprised on the video that they make the sound with their little tail end ... I always thought it was the wings ... hmmmm. You did however capture a good likeness in your painting :) Have a relaxing weekend, Christine ...
