Here we are at the end of August!
I will be going on a blog break until the beginning of October.
These are some bran muffins I made using a recipe from Veggies Yarns and Tails. I did substitute Splenda Stevia one for one in the recipe and used just a half cup of raisins along with whole wheat flour. I added a bit of butter on top of my muffin before I ate it.

Well I learned walnuts have to be dried, shelled and baked at some point.

I had my biannual (every 2 years) mammogram recently and the test results came back normal within a week. I go to a clinic where they do digital mammograms which are more accurate.
The photos show my 5 red amaryllis plants which are thriving. I had split some bulbs apart earlier this year. In the fall, maybe I can cut them back and store them away until the New Year. Maybe they will all bloom!
1 c almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 c Greek yogurt
Mix together, form bite sized balls, roll them in everything bagel seasoning. Bake at 400F 15-20 mins.
Husband M and I attended the wedding of my long time friend 'S's daughter. It was a beautiful wedding, very well planned by her daughter. It was held at a nice restaurant downtown. There were no bridesmaids and groomsmen, the family members came down the aisle instead, led by the groom's 100 year old grandmother escorted in her wheelchair. The procession was very moving. My friend S's dress was so pretty as was the bride's. We chose our meal from the menu pictured below. The food was excellent.

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! The theme is 'Double' this week. Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil. I thought of doing a pair of boots!
For the Dinner Date, I have an eggplant dish for you inspired by a wine tasting dish I had in California recently. It was an eggplant stuffed cannelloni dish. I had trouble locating their recipe so came up with this alternative stuffing. It is tasty with pasta:
4 tomatoes chopped
1 round eggplant chopped
3 cloves garlic minced
1 tsp dried basil
3 tbs olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 onion chopped
1c shredded cheese
Saute onions in olive oil, add garlic, basil, salt, pepper. Then add tomatoes. When softened, add eggplant. Simmer covered 20 minutes, add cheese stirring for 10 minutes longer.
Serve with pasta. I used penne pasta.
