Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊
I also painted a Toucan with watercolour paints. Toucans live in the rain forest jungles of Central and South America.
😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I baked up a storm! I am continuing my Bread series and this week's bread is Buttermilk Biscuits! These were so good!
I also made some Christmas cookies for the freezer. Chocolate Crinkles and some Rum Balls! (recipes and videos coming soon!)
I made some delicious Fruit Ketchup too. I love this on mashed potatoes! It's really good with scrambled eggs too. If you have a nice sharp Cheddar, you can plop a little on top and the flavour combination is divine. I used to serve my fruit ketchup with meat pies (tourtières) as well.
On the video front:

Congrats to Dorothy and ALLLLL your food looks good and I love the birds. What fun, Rain. Have a groovy weekend and boogie boogie, baby.
ReplyDeleteI had a colleague. She was big, wore clothes for tiny models and had that pinky finger out.
ReplyDeleteI could´ve gotten your riddle, thinking of her...
Rum balls... my Granma used to buy those...
Your ketchup-recipe went to my cooking-list, thank you :-)
You are so cleaver with your art Sis. I will make your pumpkin bread tomorrow. I love that you save the flocked trees. It always bothers me to see that. Tomorrow is Thanks Giving in the states. I have my dinner ready to go. All I have to do is pop it in the oven. So food and football tomorrow for Mr. M. I will be in my art room. Have a great Thursday.
ReplyDeleteKeeping up Appearances is/was a fun show. And my mama taught me that having a pinky out was VERY bad manners.
ReplyDeleteHave your usual creative/productive week. And stay safe and well.
Hi Rain, loved the biscuit video. I love biscuits and Honey has a Kitchen Aid so I'm a gonna hit him up to make some. Toucan Tweety's hilarious. Fruit ketchup? I think I'd haveta get used to that, but it looks good. Have a great week, xoxo
ReplyDeleteHello Rain,
ReplyDeleteTweety bird is one of my favorites, love your Toucan and art work.
The biscuits, cookies and the fruit ketchup all look delicious.
Take care, enjoy your day!
hm, never either heard of or seen that sitcom you write about.
ReplyDeleteI like the Toucan, I have seen a few on my travels. :)
Good morning Rain, awesome videos will be checking those out. Congrats to the winner Happy Thursday hugs
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Dorothy. I think I remember that British sitcom. Wasn't the main character's name Bucket and she pronounced it Bouquet? Sadly, in real life, for some people status is everything.
ReplyDeleteYes David, Bouquet! ☺
ReplyDeleteHappy Thursday to all. Yum i luv the biscuits Rain
ReplyDeleteMuch💛love
Congrats to Dorothy! Enjoyed your toucan art pieces. The food looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteRum balls. So much goodness.
ReplyDeleteHappy (American) Thanksgiving Rain!
Oh, Toucan Tweety Bird is TOO CUTE, lol! And groan, NOW I recognize the periwinkle reference once you explained it! I used to watch "Keeping Up Appearances" years ago. My parents absolutely adored that show.
ReplyDeleteHi Rain,
ReplyDeleteYour biscuits look so tasty! Pumpkin bread looks
delicious too.
I love your Toucan painting...Amazing birds.
Thank you for hosting.
Debra, I really thought you'd be the one who got the reference! We both have similar senses of humour and I had a feeling you'd seen Keeping Up Appearances, call it my intuition lol! ☺☺
ReplyDeleteAlways an abundance of creativity here ~ Xo
ReplyDeleteWishing you good health, laughter and love in your days,

ReplyDeleteKeeping up Appearances was such a fun show :)
Lovely toucan art and your food looks delicious.

All the best Jan
I love your inspired toucan Tweety!
ReplyDeleteAnd your are 100% to can is beautiful too. I love to technique on that Rain
now i've learnt how to paint a toucan ! and i must try to make buttermilk biscuits.
ReplyDelete...Rain, you sure have a bunch of neat ideas again this week. Thanks for sharing and hosting the party.
ReplyDeleteLove Tweedy new nose, maybe kitty cat won't recognize him.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
I would never have got the competition answer even though I have watched the program in my distant past :) it was a good one and your winner is very deserving :) I love the idea that you rescue a fake snow saturated sappling, it makes me sad to see all the trees in the shops with their roots cut off here in the UK - I appreciate growers raise vast numbers and they grow fast but it just seems wrong somehow, we have found rooted ones to be unhealthy in the past so don't buy at all now but I will have my fake tree up and I will look in the woods for any fallen branches that might make a nice display.
ReplyDeleteRain - those rum balls sound and look decadent - perfect for the holiday season!
