Pretty Fall View

 A few weeks ago I looked out the kitchen window and saved this pretty view for you!  

Daughter L sent me this photo of all the yard waste this house in our neighbourhood had as she walked  by on the weekend.  She was visiting this weekend.  

A new Mexican restaurant

Horchata Drink

Mexican beer

guacamole appetizer

corn taco dishes

 We went to try a new to us Mexican restaurant called Los Gyros.  It was very busy and popular.  My family loved it.  It was not my favourite but I did enjoy  my horchata drink.  Some of the food can be very spicy.

Gillena's Sunday Smiles - Pretty Arrangement

 I liked this pretty flower arrangement at the Medical Imaging clinic I attended this past Friday.  I went for a bone density test.  I also go there for digital mammograms every couple of years.

Friday Art - Monkey Orchid

 Welcome to Friday Art! I did a monkey orchid for you today.  It does look like a Monkey's face doesn't it? Linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off and to Gillena's Art for Fun Friday.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Trains and Beet Kale Salad

 Welcome to Rains's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  The theme is 'Trains' and here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").  

For the Dinner Date, I made this kale beet salad.  It was delicious!  I had to remind myself that beets can be eaten raw.  It adds a nice crunch to the salad.

bunch of kale leaves thinly sliced

2 large beets or 3 small beets peeled and cut into strips

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1/3c apple cider vinegar

1 tbs honey (or 1 tsp sugar)

1 clove garlic minced ( or 1/2 tsp garlic powder)

1/2 c olive oil

1/2 c slivered almonds (optional)

1/2 c crumbled goat cheese

Make the dressing by mixing salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, oil, vinegar, honey, garlic, olive oil

Toss beets and kale together, mix in dressing, add in goat cheese.

Here is the link I used for this recipe.
