Friday Art - Niece with Horse

 Welcome to Friday Art!  Sharing an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") of my niece with her horse based on a photo taken by my sister-in-law.  

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

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Flying Creatures Theme and also Spaghetti with Cream Sauce

These are my flying creatures for Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date. They were done back in 2019.

 For the Dinner date, I made this yummy Spaghetti and spinach with sun dried tomato cream sauce.  

Here is the recipe.  I never used sun-dried tomatoes before but have always liked them in recipes.  I didn't use whole wheat pasta as specified by the recipe and I did add some fresh basil.

Non Alcoholic Beers

French language side

 My supermarket has a range of non alcoholic beers now as pictured above.  I decided to try their PC brand.  It was ok and just 40 calories for the can.  I am not a beer connoisseur but I do like the Heineken and Corona brands that I have tried.  Husband M likes the PC brand he says it has .5% alcohol.

Edible Wild Flowers

 This is a good chart of edible wildflowers I thought would be of interest.  I have recently seen a few gourmet meals including wildflowers, very pretty and also edible.  It must be in fashion.  I recognize dandelion, day lily, violet, and rose among others.

Gillena's Sunday Smiles and Lemon rosemary potatoes

For Gillena's Sunday Smiles I am sharing my daughter's orchid plant. We are babysitting it while she is away on vacation, that is the smile. Some kids leave their pets with their parents but I am fine with a plant!  It apparently needs 10 spritzes of water from a sprayer once a week, I can do that.

 I found a recipe for Lemon Rosemary Potatoes and I simplified it for my own use.  It is delicious!

3-5 medium potatoes quartered, washed with skin on

2 tbs melted butter

2 tbs olive oil

1 tbs dried rosemary

3/4 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

3/4 c broth

1/4 c lemon juice

2 cloves garlic minced

pre heat oven 400F

In a 9 inch metal baking pan lined with parchment paper mix potatoes, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, rosemary.  Arrange potatoes skin side up.  Bake 30 mins.  Add broth and lemon juice.  Bake 10 mins longer.

Decluttering

 I was on a walk a few weeks ago and noticed this small child playhouse put out for the garbage or for the taking of whoever might come by.  It is that decluttering time of year.  My nephew's little girls are at the perfect age for these kinds of toys.  They live in the U.S.
