We had Korean cold noodles for lunch the other day. It was yummy and so refreshing.
Click below to see my first iMovie, which I shot with my iPhone. I wanted to show you why I was so surprised at the cheap Crayola brush.
I got these Crayola paintbrushes from the swap meet awhile back. I think they were $2. My plan was to use them instead of my more expensive brushes with acrylic paints.
I discovered them again while organizing my supplies the other day. I had forgotten about them. I tested them out and was so surprised. They're good! The bristles are soft with a pointy tip that outlines well. It has a firmness that keeps it from getting too floppy yet holds a good amount of paint.
Looks like they sell for only $3.99 for a 4-pack at Target. I'm missing the smallest brush from the pack.
I bought this for Landon from the swap meet. OMG it IS False Crack HOT!!! Luckily, I only put a crumb in my mouth. Lan liked it.
NO COOK POMODORO
4 vine ripened tomatoes, peeled*, seeded, chopped
salt, as needed
1/2 c fresh basil leaves
1/2 c fresh parsley leaves
4 anchovy fillets (optional)
1 tsp agave nectar
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp. cracked black pepper
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/3 c olive oil
6 oz pasta, cooked according to package directions
Garnish: grated Parmesan cheese
*In a medium saucepot over medium high heat; bring water to a boil (enough water to cover tomatoes completely). With a sharp knife; mark a small “X” on bottom side of tomato. Turn off heat; place tomatoes in water. Allow to sit 1 minute. Skin will begin to separate from “X”. Peel tomatoes; cut in half.
Sprinkle salt on tomatoes; allow to sit cut side down on cutting board over sink to drain** (I put a small spoon under one side of cutting board to allow tomato water to drain into a bowl. Don’t waste tomato water (approximately ¼ cup), add to salad dressings, pasta dishes. Very flavorful.
Remove seeds from tomatoes; chop. Set aside in large mixing bowl. In a food processor or blender process basil, parsley, anchovies, sugar, salt, pepper and garlic until well blended. Stir into tomatoes along with olive oil. Reserve.
Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water according to package directions. Drain.
Immediately toss with tomato mixture. Garnish as desired. Serves 3.
Nothing to blog about so here's just another woven piece of scrap origami paper.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS, PEOPLES!! A junk year is about to bite the dust soon. Wishing you all better times ahead!
Awhile back Honolulu Aunty gave me a bunch of beautiful origami paper. Recently, I used them to make some greeting cards. I didn't want to throw away the leftover scraps so I decided to weave them together.
Thank you Aunty!
Wendell bought this from Costco. It's made in Japan. Does it look appetizing to you? I know several people who love the little dried fish, but me not so much.
