well, it's late but it's ready.
i took a three hour walk… not intentionally, it just turned out that way.
i stopped at starbucks and had a pumpkin spice frappacino and hot multigrain bread and butter and just luxuriated in the sun smoking and dreaming.
on the way home i dawdled at an ethnic grocery store which was so beautiful… especially the fresh fruit and vegetable department… then a couple of new stores and investigated an armenian restaurant called the 'talisman'.
that's why dinner is late at the 'koolaid' house…
if you're not hungry, you will be in a minute.
this is a simple and pretty fast dinner… shrimp oregano a la chez scott.
the makings:
add this
and this: lots of oregano… vegetables are steaming.
pretty isn't it?
try oyster mushrooms someday… they have a very subtle flavor.
final result…
now back to my glaze making… an artist's work is never done… :happy:
PS no dessert ?? 😦 oh I forgot you got your treat at Starbucks 🙂 :yes:
cookies… and milk. just like a little kid, i am. :happy:
:lol:nice!!!!another cookie monster! :lol:I hope you did watch the video in my post or I am in trouble with this name calling 😆
:lol:indeed !! 😆
meli,you put us all to shame!!!your dinner did make me hungry indeed :lol:I had my dinner as always at 7pm Eastern time,now it is 1:15am the following day and I think it counts as another day, no??:lol:enjoy your lovely meal,I am very proud of you for being not only artistic in your art work but in your kitchen as well :heart:

oh that's nice meli :heart: i :love: brownies. i make brownies about once a week.
now this is cool: i mean 😎 how can they ask five simple questions and come up with these conclusions on such a complicated subject?
How You Are In Love
You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.
In relationships, you tend to be a bit selfish.
You need your space and privacy. You don't like to be smothered.
You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.
You are fickle and tend to fall out of love easily. You bounce from romance to romance.
How Are You In Love?
sweet dreams always follow after a bed time treat :)meli you are sweet!
😆
I am not a copy cat!! I promise!! 😆
How You Are In Love
You take a while to fall in love with someone. Trust takes time.
In relationships, you tend to be a bit selfish.
You tend to get very attached when you're with someone. You want to see your love all the time.
You love your partner unconditionally and don't try to make them change.
You stay in love for a long time, even if you aren't loved back. When you fall, you fall hard.
How Are You In Love?
:lol:"i said window… i guess that makes me selfish"meli,that makes you practical,and artistic,I prefer to leave the roses on the rose bush, that's where they belong…no questionnaire can tell you how you fall in love if ever,the combination of chemistry, mind, feelings it is very unique and only two people can find out.I would have given an arm and a leg to fall in love again, it is the most fascinating feeling ever. I wonder if addiction feels the same .
bed :Dnot for long 😆
I know you don;t need the practice but here is another time killer game: 😆http://www.flasharcade.com/skill-games/bueno-rufus-game.html
i said window… i guess that makes me selfish.hey, i am in the time saving game… never never ever kill time… :love: but i'll check it out. i know i won't stay long though. :heart:ohhhh no no no… lol too nervous making.
now i understand better. there is a different conclusion from each answer… i wonder what i said to get my last statement. i disagree with it.i am much more like your last answer meli.did you put the flowers by the bed or the window?
ahhh, i can answer that. only the first time. we're just not built for too much pleasure.
In my experience, love is wonderful. I can love many people with many varying degrees. The key to being human and humane is to remember who I am with.I humbly disgree, Scott, with your first-time opinion. That has not been my experience.
i meant the first time with the drug not with love.
Ah man…Dinner looks great!And here I am, hungry and I ridiculously suck at cooking. :PDan
my, that is unfortunate… dan, get your ass over here. it looks like swordfish, rice and broccoli with a creamy sesame sauce… or you could learn to cook. no no get married. :cool:it's not hard. it's easy. you can do it. lots of people have. just teasing, dude. 🙂
"we're just not built for too much pleasure"so Meli, Eros a.k.a God of Love ,Desire, and Fertility had the best time of all! he enjoyed both pleasures and he was designed to handle them to infinitive and beyond….His parents Aphrodite and Ares gave him the extreme behavior in his character and he was one of the most celebrated Gods .I am sure envy of the mortals was a major reason.Very common for a God to use the power of "immortal drugs" before his actions, plus love and sex was his expertise.. I was fortunate to watch Aristophanes' play The Birds,under the Acropolis and for a moment I was part of that elite immortal group…
marvelous. what a grand experience. :heart:the power of eros is vital. seduction and danger for parents and his motto could be 'mischief'.
Some people think love is a drug…Also, chocolate, coffee, cigarettes, beer, food, liquor, flowers, children, babies, lovers, baseball, soccer, hiking, sailing, biking…Some people think none of the above are drugs…Some people think a bit of the above are drugs…To each their own, I say…
:heart:indeed it was!
mom,well, they all get us 'high' anyway. 😎 have to add 'art' now.
Nice pics.
sets the table with two silver candlesticks… yummy… 😀
:lol:I will go with the star light! 🙂
Yes, art is a drug, too! :heart:
a stimulant.
hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ….. really ?? :lol:and you are planning to paint till the age of …..???????
until i can't, i guess… i mean as long as i can keep it up. why not? i can only grow… :up: when i stop growing i will be going. :love:
:lol:I got it!:lol:
😆 gotcha
:lol:yes, indeed!in many levels ! 😆
"glaze making"? :eyes:
pfelelep,en francais peut etre, 'le glace'' ( a thin layer of paint you can see through, like a gel)meli,we specialize multiple entendres. :yup:
:lol:I noticed !Including this one!:heart:
I'm just impressed by all the different technics you can handle :up:
glazing is my favorite… turns oil painting into watercolor, in a way.i do like to tumble into situations i can't handle and struggle through.right now i am up to my eyeballs in galoshes, pfelelep.hi kid :love: day eight and i am one painting behind. oh well… i know how to catch up with my self…. double the effort. 😎
7 out of 8 it is a percentage that makes this kid very proud of you!!!:love:double it is always better than single!!! :yes:
I believe you for sure ! 😀
meli, yes, you are correct. :heart:oui, tres bien mon ami. je vous en remercie :up:
The shrimp looks excellent. So, is that Hershey's syrup difficult to work with when you applying it to a canvas? 🙂
oh yes edward it is so sluggish. 😎
