Amaryllis plants out of dormancy

 


So I brought these 6 amaryllis plants out of dormancy and started watering them.  I hope they will bloom. If they do I can give some to friends and family.  Let's  hope!

Pretty photo


 Husband M took this photo at the park a few weeks ago.  Isn't it pretty?  It was close to sunset and a bit foggy.

 So have you ever seen a lefty spatula?  I am a lefty but have never had one.

Ice Wine Dark Chocolate


 I decided to sample this ice wine dark chocolate bar that came in a gift basket.  It was ok, nothing special in my opinion.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Bodybuilding and Cottage Cheese Dip

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! This is my piece for 'Bodybuilding'. It is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") based on a classic photo of Arnold Schwartzenegger.


 For the Dinner Date, I tried this cottage cheese dip and it is really creamy and good!

1/4c pickled jalapeno (or to taste)

1/2 tsp salt

1 1/2 c cottage cheese (I used 2% fat)

1 green onion diced

1 tbs olive oil

2 sundried tomatoes

1/2 tsp garlic powder

Blend together and serve with crackers or chips!  Daughter L says I should try a cottage cheese spinach dip, maybe next time!

I really liked this dip, after a few days the flavours seemed to meld in deliciously.
