Super Cinnamon Pancake w/ fruit & Eggs

Today, I made my two boys pancakes with extra scoops of cinnamon (hence the brownness in color). I only photographed one of the plates. One sweetie pie had boiled eggs and the other had scrambled. Both plates had a few slices of pan-seared salami that served as beds for the halved boiled eggs on one of the plates.

I wanted to try a different fruit combination for the sides. They usually get strawberries or orange slices to accompany their pancakes. Today, I sliced kiwis and bananas. It gave it a sorta 'Prince' feel and they felt like royalty.

What they did next was sprinkle powdered sugar over the pancakes and drizzle lots of maple syrup. Hey, to each his own.

No pancakes for me. But, it was not a complete lost. I only grabbed scrambled eggs with kiwi and bananas and two slices of pan seared salami and one slice of buttered toast. Ooh wee!

So we are welcoming the Fall season in with these dark colors and a nice centerpiece for the table.
Bon Apetit

Hallo-Fam Time

By Catherine Ratliff Oct. 2017 Spent time with the family indoors this past Halloween 2017. It made for a really different experience. Words couldn't express the evening. Therefore, I will let the slideshow do the talking for us. We put together some really nice snacks that turned our taste buds into a frenzy. We baked yellow cake with chocolate frosting. We added the word Halloween logo 🎃, on top in an orange delicious and harmonious glaze. I literally heard music to my ears. This earth-shattering cake was served with chocolate and vanilla ice cream. We also made rice krispie treats. We added blow pops to sweeten up the dish. We were some real SWEET DEMONS that night. Then I sat on the couch wearing a witch's hat and striped orange and black socks that extended up to the knees. We really created a witchy atmosphere. It became a movie night. The movie selection was from my f...

The Creation of Frannie

I am just going to jump into the action on this one. Frannie started out as a regular No. 2 pencil sharpened just right. No special bells or whistles. I took two photo shots of her with a nice shadowy and silky look. I sketched her with soft edges and in the second shot her lines were defined more. Below, I began adding a little blue oil pastel in the background to have Frannie appear to pop out on the page. Frannie’s hair was taking on oil pastels in a shiny sharp black sheen with highlights of golds and reds. I worked the streaks in place. Then I started adding some florals under her chin to add to her beauty. The flower lines were traced in Fuchsia and hot pink oils and smeared to create the effect of pink petals. Sepia was shadowed lightly in the groove of the flower. Pink and purple oil pastel defined the whiskers in the centers. I used a black extra fine sharpie to give the center whiskers a defined look. I darkened the royal blue, immensely, in the ...

Informal Florals

I'm no florist, but when you have some floral scraps left behind and an empty tomato sauce jar....it can be a match made in heaven. I decide to marry the two together. I made a DIY floral arrangement in my living room. I cut the stems and threw them in some water. That tomato sauce jar was on it's way into the trash/recycling canister. A friend said, "You have to remove the tomato sauce wrapper off the jar." I could not bring myself to do that. The colors worked well together and so I did not take that advice. Now, the scene looked very Parisian with the brass Eiffel tower standing shotgun. And..........just below it I wanted to throw props to my oldest vase in the house. I picked up this vase at a second hand shop for a few bucks. I purchased some faux floral arrangements at my local Walmart. I tend to add different colors throughout the year. But, this particular arrangement reflects the Christmas holiday.
