🎨😋 Thursday Art and Dinner Date: Yuletide! A Christmas Scene!

 

Welcome my Friends, to Thursday's Art and Dinner Date! 😊😊 I've been very slow on blog visits and commenting, but will catch up over the holidays my friends! Wishing you all a safe and blessed Yuletide season! 🔥🌙 (Note to Tom: I've been trying to comment on your blog for weeks, hope you're getting the comments because I never see them when I refresh the pages!)

🎨For our 🎨 Art Date 🎨, today's optional prompt is A Christmas Scene! Tweety Bird loves watching the old Grinch cartoon on tv every year and he wanted to dress up like Cindy Lou Who! Please feel free to share any art you've created, we would love to see it!

⬆️⬆️ I also painted a happy snow lady with Christmas lights! I used watercolors for this!

😋For our 😋 Dinner Date 😋, I have another yummy cocktail to share! A Brandy Alexander. This is one of my favourite comfort cocktails during the winter! Life has been such a whirlwind, I haven't had time to do much cooking and baking!

⬆️⬆️ For Winter Solstice dinner, I made a chicken-less Coq Au Vin. I haven't been eating chicken lately but I was craving this stew so I made it without the chicken and bacon and used veggie broth instead of chicken broth. Served with mashed potatoes and my homemade Fruit Ketchup - perfect comfort food!

⬆️⬆️ I cheated a bit and bought that Tuxedo cake from the bakery because I ran out of time and energy for a homemade cake! I will be making my Yule Log cake for Christmas this weekend and I'll share that next week!
