Tastes like an Oh Henry bar

 

Fun Game

Candy Corn and Salted Nuts

Daughter L played a fun game at Halloween. It was a trick or treat taste test as per the photo above.  We tried the Candy Corn and Salted Nuts combination and it did really taste like an Oh Henry bar!

Smoked Salmon Fried Rice

 

We had some leftover smoked salmon and I decided to make a smoked salmon fried rice.  It was delicious! Smoked meat adds a lot of flavour to dishes.

2-3 green onions diced

2 cloves garlic mince

2 eggs

salt

pepper

1/2c green peas

2-3 c of cooked rice

canola oil

1/2c smoked salmon cut into 1/2 inch pieces

Saute eggs with a bit of salt and pepper set aside.

Saute onions, garlic in oil. Add rice.  Mix in eggs and smoked salmon. Stir until warmed up.  Enjoy.

Roasted Green Tomato Soup

 

I had a handful of green tomatoes lying around that would not ripen. My friend suggested putting them in a brown paper bag to see if they would ripen. Some did ripen, but not all.  Rather than throw them out I decided to roast them and make a soup with them.  It was delicious!

A handful of green tomatoes 

1 can coconut milk

1 can reduced salt chicken broth

1 can water to dilute the chicken broth

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1 tsp sugar

1 tsp dried basil

2 cloves garlic minced

1 onion chopped

1 stalk of celery chopped

3 tbs olive oil

Cut the tomatoes into even pieces.  On a tray lined with parchment paper, roast them with the celery in olive oil, salt, pepper, sugar, basil, onions, garlic at 350F for 30 minutes.  Transfer to a pot. Add chicken stock, coconut milk and bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 mins.  Blend.

You might want to remove the tomato skins prior to boiling.

Hey It's Sunday and SITAR - Cosmos themed picture frame

 

Welcome to Gillena's Hey It's Sunday and to Nicole's SITAR!

I did a Cosmos themed picture frame for you today in acrylic.  My friend S had given me a few of these frames.  They will make nice gifts I am thinking, as Christmas is coming soon.

Duh Christine

 So I opted to upgrade to a new Walmart credit card offering more perks, with no annual fee.  It promised a smooth transition to the new card and it was.  So I login to my online account to update it with the new card information but it didn't seem to allow me to make edits.  So I call customer service to get help.  She said my card had already been updated and so it had!  I was trying to update it without realizing it was already my new card number! Duh Christine.  I am pretty sure it was the same voice that helped me last month with another 'duh' moment.

Another thing I have to watch out for are fake videos before I go sharing them. If it seems too good to be true it probably is.  There is a fake Chinese glass ad that claims it was their glass that couldn't be smashed in that France Louis Vuitton store. Luckily my sister alerted me to that.

Friday Art - Simple Portrait

 

Welcome to Friday Art!

This is just a simple portrait ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") in watercolour pencil.  This is my first drawing I am showing that I did since my cataract surgery.  My good left eye is still not fine tuned although the doctor had said I was reading 20/20. I did my best.
