Kiss of Life

 This is an interesting story on an award winning photo.   Photographer Rocco Marabito gained a Pullitzer prize in 1968 for a photo he called 'The Kiss of Life'.  Mouth to mouth resuscitation between 2 workers on a utility pole.  Randall G. Champion survived and fellow lineman JD Thomson was the hero.

Lavazza Coffee

 This is a good coffee from Italy that we often drink.  It is a fine grind, we discovered it when daughter L brought a box from Italy when she visited years ago.  What is interesting is that they stock it at my local grocery store!  

New Stamp and the Cheque

 I noticed a new Canadian stamp commemorating the Queen recently.  They chose a good photo.

I had complained about my Rakuten cheque being delayed, it finally arrived this past Wednesday March 22nd.  I have been waiting since I first got the notification Feb 15 that the cheque had been mailed.  So all is well with that. Better still, my brother advised me to switch to Paypal payout which I just did.

Friday Art - Lynx

version 2

version 1

 Welcome to Friday Art!

This is my Lynx ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  It was inspired by a Canadian photography award winning photo that I noticed online.  Version 2 is with the reflection added to the eyes.  I haven't figured out how to easily delete photos from my post.

Also  showing a 'Retro' themed piece that I did for an Instagram challenge last month.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Complementary Colours - Cookies and Cookies

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! I drew some cookies in complementary colours of orange and blue.

For the dinner date, I am sharing these yummy real cookies. 

My sister gave me a delicious recipe for these chocolate peanut butter swirl cookies.  This is my adjusted recipe, I used less sugar and salt:

makes 24 cookies

1 16 oz (455 ml) jar of smooth peanut butter

1 cup of sugar

3 eggs

1/2 tsp salt

1/2c (85 grams) chopped milk chocolate 

3 tbs cocoa powder

350F

Line 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper

In a bowl, combine peanut butter and sugar.  Mix in the eggs and salt.  Put half the mix into another bowl.  Mix the chocolate and cocoa into this bowl.  Make a ball with a tablespoon of the peanut butter mix and a tablespoon of the chocolate mix.  Place them on the cookie sheets, 1 1/2 inches apart.  

Bake at 350F 14-16 minutes, turning the cookie sheet half way.  Cool and serve.
