Chicken Teriyaki


 I made this delicious chicken teriyaki using this easy video!  I didn't even make the sauce from scratch,

I just used a bottle of teriyaki sauce I bought from the grocery store.  Days later,  I bought some boneless skinless chicken thighs for this recipe, it was even easier, no need to debone the thighs.  However I think cooking with the skins imparts extra flavour, even if you don't end up eating the skins.  Many people say that, but until you try it yourself, you may never realize it is true.

Chocolate coconut macaroons


 I made these no bake chocolate coconut macaroons after my friend S dropped a few off for us to taste.  Her sister had made them.  I used this recipe, but with half a cup less sugar and an extra tablespoon of cocoa.  It comes together very quickly.

Navigating a Roundabout


 These handy instructions from CAA magazine for navigating a roundabout are worth reviewing.

Yield to any vehicles already in the roundabout.  Use your turn signals which are now mandatory.

It's time for Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'In the Water' theme.  I did some blue water lilies in alcohol inks outlined in fine point marker.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on poster board cut to size.

Coffee

I lamented the recent passing of crooner BJ Thomas at age 78. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in March and died May 29, 2021.  It made me realize that when your time comes, that's it.  You can try your best to live a healthy, safe life, but we have to accept whatever our fate decides.


Are you a coffee drinker?  I look forward to a large mugful in the mornings, taken with milk and a bit of cream.

Good Question


 This meme gave me pause for thought.  I hate losing pieces of jewellery, watches, bracelets.  These came to mind immediately, how about you?  Maybe you have a deeper, non-material answer!
