My painting "Mother and Child"


Hi, this time no food will be involved. There is more different arts then create a food. For example painting. I never been painting but had this vision for longer time. So wanted to perpetuate something what's been on my mind.
In the crafts shop bought some canvas and acrylic painting. I knew acrylic is easy to paint and dray and it seemed to be perfect for me. Same as experimenting with the food wanted to experiment with the brushes and paint:)
The main idea came out while my family been away. I wanted to show the strong relationship between mother and daughter (in this case my daughter:). Their are bounded together in one unit facing each other. Ok, no more talks just look at it and I would be really glad to get some reviews as this is one of my first paintings.

Tuna and Avocado salad

My refrigerator must to be unfreeze and cleaned so decided to be for some time on diet. Been checking what I've got. Surprisingly many tins of tuna chunks. I love that fish, but mostly fresh tuna stakes. Never mind, have to be quick as still loads to do with my marketing business. So will be short as the recipe this time (and the time I consumed it).
What I used:

Tuna chunks
Rocket salad
Avocado
Lemon



No instructions this time as you can do any way you like. Or just simply copy the layout from the picture. Sprinkle salt, fresh crushed peppers, olive oil and squeeze wedge of lemon over. Simple as that! But really tasty.

Honey baked Banana with cinnamon

I remember some time ago been visiting Chinese restaurant but can't really remember what country was it and when. I remember only I head baked banana and the taste was amazing. One day I head loads of bananas at home and no cakes (my wife and daughter loves cakes:). After the dinner we been in the mood for something sweet but all the shops has been closed as it was Sunday. Then I came with the idea to recreate baked bananas but in my own way (as I really could nor remember the original dish). I checked what the products I've got and there was enough to mix some ingredients and get the flavour I wanted. The taste was amazing and I prepare it every time I have bananas. Its easy, quickly and delicious.


You will need:

Banana
Honey
Butter
Cinnamon
Vanilla (optional)

Melt in the pan on small heat some butter and honey and mix well. If you like more sweet ad more honey, but I putting about one spoon. Now you can add some vanilla if you like. But that's additionally. Cut the bananas along and bake the halves until light brown. I usually baking about 2 min on on side and 1 min on other.
Put on the plate, pour over the caramelised honey and sprinkle with cinnamon.
