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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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!

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

  11. 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!

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