Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Clocks and Jerk Chicken Fried Rice



Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! The art theme is 'Clocks'.  Here is my retro vintage take on it.  I added some shadow and light in watercolour pencil to give the clocks a more 3 dimensional look.  The rest of the piece is in acrylic.


 For the Dinner Date, I am showing my jerk chicken fried rice.  It has more chicken than rice, so less carbohydrates.  I am inspired by using up leftovers.  I had some baked jerk chicken legs which I deboned and tore into inelegant smaller pieces.  Then it was just a matter of mixing them into the fried rice.

Fun clocks, and that fried rice looks so good. I think I'll need an early lunch-grin. Now that I realized I'm hungry.

Oh my! That chicken looks just delicious! I've never really done jerk cooking before -- but I've had it out and love it. I should give it a try. If it tasted half as good as yours looks, I'd be over the moon!

I've never had jerk chicken before. Is it spicy?

Christine said...

Mary jerk chicken is normally very spice, but I buy a mild jerk marinade from the store.

Your vintage alarm clocks remind me of my first alarm clock. I can't remember too much about it, other than it was round maybe it closed up into a case and I had to wind it up. Mom got it for when I was in grade 5. She put the responsibility on me to get myself up and my brother. I don't recall why, but it taught me a lot. :)

I love leftovers and sometimes I will reinvent them, too. I'm sure yours was tasty! Have a doodletastic evening!

I like your colorful clocks, Christine! And your rice/chicken dish looks yummy. I am always thinking of ways to use up leftovers, so I rarely throw any food away. Have a happy week!

Art is nice
Jerk chicken rice is unfamiliar term for me and rice though look intriguing but I bet they taste delicious 🤗
