I wish the pictures would come out in the order I've chosen them, and with the original captions I made. This is my first post, so practice will make perfect. These lunch plates are supposed to be after the Crustless Quiche breakfast, for instance. Oh well....
BBQ Beef on a bun with coleslaw (fresh pineapple and shredded cabbage/carrot, mixed with two tablespoons of mayonnaise, and one tablespoon each of sugar and apple cider vinegar. The beef was simple with sliced deli roast beef (Costco) heated with bottled BBQ sauce. Buns spread with butter, horseradish, and grainy mustard, then wrapped in foil and heated about 10 minutes in toaster oven. Serve with freshly made iced tea for a late casual Sunday lunch. Oh yeah, I made the baking dish too....

It's time for my lunch now, and may I please have some ice cream for dessert? I know you bought some, I saw you put it in the freezer, please, I've been good all weekend not biting anyone, well not real hard that is...., please?
Ceramic Easter baskets with copper wire and beaded crochet handles. Just got them done yesterday. A better picture of these is forthcoming, I can't seem to get the picture I wanted to post to turn the right way (it is upright in my computer, but turns sideways every time I have tried it) so have to try again later.
Palm Sunday pre-Easter weekend floral designs, my "mosaic pot" of lillies. "Egg" shaped vase I picked up at Goodwill for a dollar, freesias and snapdragons I grew in pots, I bought the asiatic lillies at Trader Joe's for $3.99. My arm is still sore from patting myself on the back.
Nummy... This was supposed to be the one of the first pictures. Notice how just one slice was not going to be quite enough, and we could have kept going it was sooooo good. Fruit salad is pineapple and strawberries. Perfect! That is only a small saucer plate, so it's not that much, OK?
Here's the recipe I felt too lazy to type out, I just got it last week from a classmate who is from Germany and runs a Bed and Breakfast in Alpine. She serves this a lot and loves to also use Salmon for the meat. I used some chopped ham, cooked bacon, and fresh asparagas, which I microwaved for a minute or so (the asparagas) prior to putting in the pie pan.
Congratulations on starting a blog, Chris! I love it! You have a fun way with words to share your glorious food, creative crafts, Miss Kitty and beautiful garden/yard. Give yourself another few pats from me on the mosaic pots of lilies. My favorite is the cassa lily pot, classy color combo.
ReplyDeleteGreat job, Chris. I look forward to reading more. :)
Thank you Rita, for your encouragement, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of blogging! It took me awhile. I need practice and am hoping others "land" on my blog too.....I am looking forward to making future posts as time permits.
ReplyDeleteI'm making more mosiacs tomorrow, I went to Goodwill again this morning and found some inexpensive and interesting ceramic pieces to smash. I'm on Spring break from school and am feeling crafty this week. If they turn out, I'll post;).
Is your blog open for public viewing, Chris? If yes, try tagging/labeling your posts. That will bring it up on searches by tags and 'land' others on it. I've linked it to mine so that I am notified of your future posts as they come in. Many of my readers will enjoy reading your stuff. :)
ReplyDeleteOK, yes as far as I know it is public, at least I checked that option....thank you for the tag/label tip, I think I understand a little better now and I look forward to your readers looking me up! Have a nice day Rita and thanks again.
