Olive and Celery Salad

 This is Valerie Bertinelli's olive and celery salad recipe that I made recently.  I added some oregano to the dressing.  The salad had a very refreshing taste.  One of my sisters said she had seen something similar using fennel in place of the celery, something I would try.  Here is the recipe:

1 jar of roasted red peppers

1 romaine heart

1 1/2 c pitted olives

4 celery ribs thinly sliced

3 tbs olive oil

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

2 tbs white wine vinegar

1/2 tsp dried oregano

Mix red peppers, romaine, olives and celery together. Whisk the olive oil, salt, pepper, white wine vinegar and oregano together. Add the dressing just before serving.

Charred Parmesan Crusted Cauliflower Steaks

 Jan at the Low Carb Diabetic shared this recipe for parmesan crusted cauliflower steaks.  This is my rather charred version.  I may try it on lower heat next time, however it tasted fine, delicious in fact.

Paint Party Friday - Cozy Cabin

 Here is a cozy cabin ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") that I am showing for Paint Party Friday.  It is done in Sharpie oil paint markers and Alcohol Ink markers on blue poster paper cut to size.  I was inspired by a photo I saw on Instagram featuring a cabin snowed under like this at Mount Assiniboine Lodge in Mount Assiniboine Provincial Park in British Columbia, Canada.

A Fun Meme and follow up on 'Where is Bernie'

I got this one from Pam's blog:

 

 Here is an interesting article, it tells you everything you want to know about menstrual discs.  There are reusable and disposable versions.  The author of the article seems to like them.  Daughter L says she will pass on these.  Were  you aware of this product?

This photo zooms in on my 'Where is Bernie' post of a few days ago.  I thought maybe Elizabeth and others would like to see this.

Presumed Consent

I had to laugh at this one:

 

 Daughter L's friend sent her this interesting news article on 'presumed consent' organ donation.  This is being implemented in the province of Nova Scotia in Canada.  'The legislation isn’t without controversy' according to the article and as you can imagine.  

Where is Bernie?

Can you enlarge and find Bernie in this photo?  I will leave the solution in the comments.

Bernie Sanders recently went viral in a meme spreading over the internet since the US Inauguration.
