A welcome treat

 My friend S dropped off some farm fresh, husked corn the other day along with a couple of her garden tomatoes and a bunch of fresh oregano.  It was a welcome treat!

She had gone to a celebration of life, a farmer's wife.  Disturbing that she was maybe only 65-67 years old.  They roasted 2 pigs and there was a lot of corn.  So S took leftovers home.  My sister remembered my departed mom saying it is bad luck to bring food home from a funeral.  Let's hope not.

Some interesting cosmetic products.

eye repair cream, face cream, chapstick, body oil

 One of my sisters gave me these gifts when she visited recently.  They are some eye repair moisturizing products and body oil.  From what I googled, body oil is to be applied to wet skin for best results.  I have already tried in on my feet, why not?

Another sister pointed out these are CBD (cannabis containing products)  non-active I hope.  That sister embraces new things for sure!  The 2nd photo shows the products opened up as I now have a new face care routine!

Sharing is caring

My friend S dropped off some tomatoes from her garden a few weeks ago, she appreciates that I shared my neighbour's Chinese chives with her as I got so much.
 

Robot servers

 We went with a good friend to a Chinese dim sum restaurant recently.  I had never seen robots in there serving the dishes before.  Each robot had a table number displayed and you could remove the dishes from the trays yourself.  Someone came to help us if we didn't take the dishes off the robot trays.  You can't help thinking that more servers were out of jobs now.  

Friday Art - Little Flower Girl

 

Welcome to Friday Art! I am showing a 3" x 4" portrait I did of my small great niece in her flower girl outfit.  She never made it down the aisle as she was too tired that afternoon after participating in hair and makeup morning!  Her bigger sister was able to participate.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Silhouettes and ChickenTeriyaki

I did an Eagle Silhouette for Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.

 For the dinner date I made chicken teriyaki and seasoned Japanese rice.

First I baked the chicken legs 375F for an hour, turning after 30 minutes. Then I made my own teriyaki sauce..  Then mixed the sauce with the chicken legs.  It goes well with seasoned Japanese rice (or sushi rice).

Teriyaki Sauce:

2 tbs soy sauce

2 tbs mirin

2 tbs sake for cooking (I probably used drinking sake)

1 tbs white sugar

 Mix the ingredients together and reduce the sauce to 70%, it takes about 5 minutes.
