Art, Nature, and Chicken Noodle Soup

Hi everyone! Nothing too exciting food-wise this week, and the only things I did take pics of were more chicken noodle soup...

...So here's a flower close-up I did with pastels in a high school art class, finally framed and hung up...

...And a sketch from that class that I brushed with water in the present day...

Nature pics from walks with friends on Monday...

...And Saturday...

And here's Daisy being a snuggly cutie...

Peace. :)

Fall is Here!

Hi everyone! My lunch for the first day of fall was Gardein’s chicken noodle soup with smashed avocado on a toasted bagel and everything seasoning! 

And my harvest that afternoon… 

Also this week, I made chicken noodle orzo, which was yummy… 

And little peanut butter rice burritos since they’d given me the taco size tortillas in my KWF grocery order instead of the burrito size, lol!

Last night we got takeout from SuTao Cafe for dinner; I got vegetable fried rice with lemon chicken, and it was so, so good! I’m looking forward to the leftovers today! 

And for breakfast this morning, we tried these pumpkin spice waffles; they were a nice seasonal treat! 

I haven’t done much sketching for a while, but in between taking notes during a work call Thursday afternoon, I managed to sneak some sketches in… 

And Daisy just keeps bringing the cuteness; here’s another meditation snuggle… 

Peace. :)

P.S. The-Student-Turned-Doctor saved the day and helped me get back to Legacy Blogger after my last post was a mess with the new Blogger! Hooray!

Catching Up

Hi everyone! 

I did this on Monday to celebrate the start of Pride Month. It’s the eight colors of the original pride flag designed by Gilbert Baker with what each color symbolized. Remember, Pride is a commemoration of the Stonewall Riots. If you can’t join the protests against the murder of George Floyd, please do what you can to spread the word and donate to bail funds to support those who are getting arrested. 

Some food…

Salad

Annie’s vegan mac

Meatball sandwich

Chicken noodle soup

Our power went out Wednesday at noon and came back on around 12:30 a.m. Friday. Here are some no-cook meals I had during that time…

Buttered bagel with everything bagel seasoning

Ham and cheese sandwich

Upton’s Naturals cheesy bacon mac

Our first hot food was takeout from Sutao Cafe, and it was amazing! I got the vegetable fried rice with the lemon chicken appetizer. Zach got the sweet & sour veggie meatballs again, so I didn’t take a pic. 

Pictures from Monday’s walk… 

A sweet bun hanging out in our yard… 

Here’s Rogue after having gotten bored and deciding to pull out a bunch of DVDs from the shelf, lol! 

Peace. :)

Takeout from Sutao Cafe!

Hi everyone! Dinner on Wednesday was a great treat – Sutao Cafe is now open for takeout, so Zach and I placed an order for pickup! Here’s what we got… 

Sweet & sour veggie meatballs, rice, wonton soup, vegetable lo mein, and chicken with broccoli

Everything was delicious, and we had lots of leftovers for the rest of the week! Obviously, I miss the buffet, but for now, takeout is perfect! 

Plated

Here is a sketch… 

Cringer was a bit apprehensive during the thunderstorm last night, so we kept her company and offered cuddles and pets! 

Peace. :)

Good Food and Laurel Hill

Hi everyone! I’m still working through my stash of Annie’s vegan mac, so I used my second-to-last box for an easy lunch this weekend, adding in some tempeh and peppers and onions. I also added nutritional yeast and Cajun seasoning. 

Zach cooked dinner for us on Monday; he made vegan meatball sandwiches, and they were really good! He used Rudi’s wheat hot dog rolls, IKEA vegan meatballs, Vital Eats So-Cheezy sauce, and Chao cheese. 

On Sunday we met a friend at Laurel Hill Cemetery for a “social distance” walk; here are some pictures I took… 

A sketch… 

And Daisy in the cat tower with her floofy tail hanging out! 

Peace. :)
