One day this week I wanted to have some fried okra with my meal but I was low on cooking oil. When I say low I mean low. I only had about a quarter cup of oil. So I took an empty condensed tomato soup can ( It was skinnier than the standard bean can. It was the 10 3/4 oz size ... very important ) and put the oil in it and fried a few okra at a time. Here's a picture:
I laughed a bit while cooking. So unconventional. It worked.
SUCCESS!
Two Rings:
I made two rings this week. This one:
and this one
Both are made from sticks. The same one Evennnnnn ...
The first I stained with English Chestnut woodstain and did an inlay with citrine -- an orange quartz. ( I think its citrine I'll have to do more research to be sure.) I finished it with a clear satin polyurethane. The second is just one with slant grooves. It too is finished with a clear satin polyurethane. Here are some templates all from the same stick:
They'll fit ring sizes around 8 to 9.
Plums, Black-eyed peas, & rice:
Lastly, I wanted a snack one day as I cooked some rice and black-eyed peas and made a plum sauce. The plum sauce had garlic, seasoned salt, pepper, and sugar. I drank some cheap red wine with it. Hey! Why does wine taste better warm?
