Paint Party Friday - Leaves ACEO

I am showing some Leaves, an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") for Paint Party Friday.  I used permanent markers and acrylic on a purple cardstock background.

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Abstract

For Rain's Thursday Art Date, I did a couple of ACEOs based on a fire rainbow I saw in a video. Yes they really do look like this but at the same time they look like abstracts here don't they?

My apple pie

I had a couple of supermarket pie shells in the freezer and decided to make an apple pie using some tart granny smith apples. This recipe did not disappoint. It is easy if you have premade pie shells what can I say. The baked apples in the middle did sink a bit below the centre of the crust maybe I should've cut a vent in the very centre as well.

Owl long legs

When I saw the meme above I was amazed to know that owls have these long spindly legs under their feathered skirts, did you know that? This link also has interesting facts about their eyes being tubular in nature designed to hunt prey as opposed to being round. And did you know that their heads can spin 270 degrees?

Cauliflower Bites

Buffalo Cauliflower

Daughter L gave me this recipe for Buffalo Cauliflower bites.  It is really simple. However I will use a lot less hot sauce if any next time.  Otherwise it is good!

I found out you can cook and eat both broccoli and cauliflower stems and leaves.Here is the link. I tried the broccoli leaves which I roasted with the rest of the broccoli and they are delicious. I always knew you could eat the broccoli stalks.

My frozen blueberries snack

Daughter L gave me this idea for a frozen blueberry snack. You simply pour some milk, add a bit of cream into a bowl with some frozen blueberries. It is delicious and tastes like ice cream!
