Amaryllis coming into bloom



I took these photos of my 'star' amaryllis coming in bloom this past Friday then Sunday.  The plant has another bud that I am hoping will do the same soon.

Freebie - Brisk Ice Tea


 I got a coupon for 12 cans of Brisk Ice Tea in the mail from a sampling company.  This was a great freebie.  It seems Nestle is no longer making their ice tea, so fortunately Brisk tastes great.

We also tried this Coca Cola iced tea called Fuse.  It also tastes good, so it is another alternative.

Naan Bread Pizza


 I got the idea from my sister to use store bought naan bread to make a pizza.  550 F for 10 minutes in the oven made a very crispy, delicious pizza.  Husband M opted to have jalapeno slices on his.  I will try garlic naan next time which is what my sister uses.  Another sister prefers homemade crust as it has less additives.

Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - City Streets and roasted vegetables


 Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date's 'City Streets' theme!  Here is my ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2").

For the dinner date I did some roasted vegetables (cauliflower, red onions, red pepper).  I added some pickled jalapenos, garlic, olive oil, Italian seasoning, lemon juice, sugar, salt, pepper, paprika.  I baked them  in the oven at 400F for 30 mins.
