Fun Quiz and Gochujang

 Here is a fun quiz for you today, it worked for me how about you?

I impulsively picked up this Korean hot sauce at the grocery store.  I had seen a recipe on Instagram using it on a quick canned tuna dish.  I am sure there are lots more recipes for this, I should go looking.  Let's hope I use it!  Do you ever do stuff like this?

Friday Art - Wedding Card

 Daughter L's friend got married back in August.  We ended up being invited to the wedding due to some cancellations, we felt lucky.  I painted this card for them which they loved.  The friend said she was happy we were able to attend.  We have known her since she was 4 years old and fortunately the girls kept in touch all these years.  Their recent weddings have brought them closer together, being bridesmaids in each other's wedding parties.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Smiles and Air Fryer Pork Chops

 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date!  Our theme this week is 'SMILES'.  Here is my 'Apple Smile' ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

And here are my air fryer pork chops.  First I marinated them with some olive oil, tomato paste and spices such as onion powder, garlic powder, salt, dried oregano, pepper.  Then I preheated the air fryer at 390F or 5 minutes.  Then I did the larger chop for 12 minutes, (6 minutes per side).  The smaller chop was 10 minutes, (5 minutes per side).
