Trumpet Squash

 

My next door neighbour dropped off this trumpet squash (tromboncino) as my sister googled.  I had never seen this type of squash before.  She said it is good in soups or stir fries.  I googled that it tastes like a mixture of zucchini and butternut squash and have seen recipes where you can roast it.  There is also a bag of garlic chives.  I offered these to my friend S as her son loves these chives.

Phone Coolers

 

So I recently learned about phone coolers.  There is a large variety of them for sale these days at various prices.  They are meant to keep your phone cool as you run all the apps and videos.  iphones especially can generate a lot of heat as you go about your day.  

Were you familiar with these? I like to know what's new.

Sunday Smiles and SITAR - Sea Pig

 

Sea Pig

So happy to see comments working again here!

I sketched a Sea Pig ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil for you today based on the photo above.  They are deep sea creatures with tentacles around the mouth area.  The anus is at the back. It has no eyes, it senses things with its tube feet and tentacles.

Long Beans and Tomatoes

 

My neighbour brought over these long beans and tomatoes from their garden. I wasted no time stir frying the long beans with some tomatoes.  It was delicious.

Friday Art - Baby Echinda

 

I cannot publish comments on blogs since yesterday!! It only works on my old Iphone 6, not on my newer iphone or on my Windows laptop! It does work for Wordpress blogs at least.

This is my Baby Echinda ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil based on the fun fact and photo above.

Guacamole Dip

 

For some reason our 5 avocados all ripened at the same time.  I decided to make some guacamole dip, which I haven't made in a long time.

1/2 salt

1/2 pepper

1/2 red onion chopped

3 tbs lemon juice

1 green chili (I would leave out next time)

4 small avocados mashed (we ate one of the 5)

Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy with tortilla chips.
