Friday Art - Good Friends

 This is a portrait I did of my niece and her horse based on a photo my sister-in-law took.  It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour crayons.

Linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off and to Gillena's Art For Fun Fridays.

This ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") is called 'Ivory'.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Moon Phases and Impossible Pie

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date.  For the Moon Phases theme this week I found this Kids video demonstrating the phases of the moon.  If I knew this I had forgotten!  

Here are my Moon Phases pieces:

Waning Crescent

And sharing this Impossible Pie I made with a recipe shared by Denise.  It only has 4 ingredients.  It tasted like a sponge cake, pretty good and so easy!  I didn't use a blender.  After I tested it with a knife the pie fell but that was ok.

4 eggs

1/2c flour

3/4 c sugar

2 c milk

Mix all ingredients together and pour into a pie dish lined with parchment paper.

Bake at 350F for 45 minutes.  Test doneness with a toothpick.

The Potluck

Daughter L went to a friend's birthday party recently. She shared this photo of some of the party food. It looks so pretty.  It is a breakfast platter.  They often do a potluck, it is a lot easier on the entertaining.

The large shed

 Daughter L and her husband bought this lovely large shed at Costco.  Her in-laws came to town to help assemble the shed using the 95 page instruction booklet. It is Ikea times a hundred.  Here it is almost 2/3 done.  My shed came with assembly included all those years ago, husband M and I are not handy.  M did help where he could with this new one.

Sesame dressing and marinade

 I love going to Costco and trying all the free food samples.  On this particular day they were featuring this delicious sesame marinade/dressing.  They cut up small pieces of roast chicken which was generously dipped into the dressing.  It was so delicious I had to get a bottle.  It is also very good with salad.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom out there!

See the Gator?

Creeping out from under canoe

 

One of my sisters was in Orlando Florida recently for a family wedding on her husband's side.  There was a backyard lagoon at her in-laws' house with fish and yes can you spot the gator in the photos above?
