Tierra Del Fuego

My brother and his wife were on a recent cruise to Antarctica. Unfortunately my brother and a bunch of other passengers got Covid after just one day in Antarctica. He was asymptomatic and confined to a room on the ship after that. He ended up at Sur 54 hotel in a town called Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina for several days after the cruise to complete his quarantine.

 Fortunately, his wife was ok and flew straight home via Buenos Aires in Argentina. Sur 54 hotel seemed small and charming as you can see from the following photos. My brother even ordered a custom chicken and vegetable meal one night.  He was happy to find 2 English speaking channels on the small TV.

He was able to fly home after his quarantine was completed.

Top Sirloin Streak on Valentine's Day


 Sharing my top sirloin steak with you on Valentine's Day!  We got a bunch of these from Costco and after marinating them, I pan seared them with some oil 5-7 mins per side in a heavy skillet.

Scallop and Bacon Fried Rice


 I bought a pack of small frozen sea scallops and decided to make a fried rice with them.  I added some leftover bacon that I had as well.  Start with cooked rice.  Cook the scallops separately, set them aside.  Cook the eggs set aside, warm the bacon, set aside.  Then warm the rice with soy sauce and oyster sauce.  Finally mix in the cooked scallops, bacon, chopped green onions, and eggs.

My floral centrepiece




 I made this floral centrepiece with artificial flowers and am pleased with the results!  I had not made one in years and refreshed my memory with some youtube videos, specifically  'Ramon at Home' on youtube. 

I added a Valentine's touch to it in the photo below!

Rain's Thursday Art Date - Romance


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'Romance' theme, right in time for the upcoming Valentine's Day.  Here is my romantic swan ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

I was scrolling through Pinterest looking for romantic art ideas when this book cover for 'All the Feels' by Olivia Dade caught my attention.  It is a romance between a handsome young man and a fat young woman.  It sounds like an excellent book.

I am hosting Rain's Art Thursday Art Date for a little while as my friend Rain is taking a much needed break having lost some dear pets.  

Here are the upcoming art dates, our next theme is 'Excitement', it is February Feelings month. Are you in?
