Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Blink theme and Banana Bread Cookies

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date! Here is my 'Blink' piece (ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in acrylic on cardstock.

For the Dinner Date I did banana bread cookies based on a Jamie Oliver recipe I found.  They were so easy and very good!  I have made it several times.

1 ripe banana mashed

1/2 c sugar 

1/4c melted butter 

1 c flour

1/4 tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp salt

350F

Mix wet ingredients (banana, sugar, butter)

Add dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt)

Scoop and shape the dough.   Drop spoonfuls onto a baking sheet, flatten with a fork.  Bake at 350 F for 15-20 minutes.

Here is a tip: dip the fork in water before pressing the cookie, it won't stick to the cookie

A lovely brunch

 

Husband M and I took the cars in for a snow tire swap last week.  We hung out at the Starving artist cafe for a few hours while we waited.  We ordered their eggs benedict on mini waffles.  It was so delicious with a fresh salad and fruit.  It seems to have been the most popular dish on the menu.  We also enjoyed lattes.

Some of our friends swap snow tires themselves but we are not so handy.

That time of year

 These are some robin's eggs in a tree outside daughter L's home.  This is the 2nd year she noticed them.  There are actually 3 eggs, one is hiding in this photo.

Sunday Smiles and Happy Mother's Day

It was 1826 Margaret Bulkley posed as a man for 50 years so she could practice medicine.

Chilean Sea bass

 I had this delicious Chilean Sea Bass at The Keg Restaurant a few weeks ago.  We had gone there to celebrate daughter L's birthday.  They had a delicious asparagus pea sauce spread over the dish, it was a winner.  I say this because husband M had a steak with cauliflower mash and green beans.  These vegetables were tasteless, could have used some of that delicious sauce.
