Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Constellation and Cauliflower Bites

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  This is my piece for the 'Constellation' Theme.

It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") using my Edding Pastel white pen.  You might recognize the Big and Little Dipper.

For the Dinner Date, I am showing Buffalo Cauliflower bites.

Here is the recipe.

Ingredients

for 4 servings

• ¾ cup all-purpose flour(95 g)
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• ¾ cup milk or milk alternative(180 mL)
• 1 head cauliflower
• ¼ cup buffalo sauce or hot sauce(70 g)
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon honey

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 450˚F (230˚C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and milk, and stir until well-combined.
3. Break the head of cauliflower into florets, about 1½-inches wide. Add the cauliflower florets to the batter, making sure each piece is evenly coated. Arrange the coated cauliflower on the baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
4. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the buffalo sauce, coconut oil, and honey and stir until evenly combined. Brush the buffalo sauce mixture on the cauliflower and bake for another 20 minutes.
5. Enjoy!

Microwaved eggs over easy

 Elizabeth mentioned she was going to microwaving eggs sunny side up, so of course I went looking for a recipe.  I prefer eggs over easy and tried it myself.

Heat an empty plate for 15 seconds in the microwave.

Coat the plate with a bit of oil or butter to prevent sticking.

Crack the egg on the plate, salt and pepper to taste.

Microwave 45 seconds.  If the whites aren't set, microwave 10-15 seconds more.

Will you try it?

The Christmas Season

 We are in the Christmas season!  I took this shot in the neighbourhood more than a week ago.  

Symbol of the fall season

 

I was out walking about a week and a half ago, it was a mild day about 4C, then I saw this apple in the road.  It is a sign of the fall season, no doubt a squirrel left it behind.
