This can be served as a dip for parties of as in my case it can be lunch. It is super fast and I just love a hot meal.

1 roma tomato
1 ripe avocado
1 scoop of favorite salsa
Salt, Pepper
Cumin
Coriander
Thyme

Dice a Roma tomato



Heat up a skillet with a little bit of oil, heat up tomatoes



Add cumin and coriander to taste. I use about half a teaspoon of each for one Roma tomato. Add salt and pepper as well.



Add a big scoop of your favorite salsa to the skillet. Once everything is heated through, transfer to a plate.



Dice avocado and pour over. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and thyme to taste and serve with a couple of chips.

At the new art class I am taking, I had my first lesson in acrylic painting. I took some pictures of the painting as I went along.

First, here is the picture that I used to paint from.



I started out by sketching the outlines of the zebra.



As you can see I made lots of mistakes and erased before moving on to the next step. Luckily you can not see the eraser marks after it is painted over.

I painted over the entire painting with a mid-hue yellow and then painted the background gray. I chose to change the background color to gray instead of yellow.



Then I started adding in the highlights and the brown stripes.



After that I added some more layers of different browns and grays for shadowing and here is my finished zebra.

I think I started making this back in the 80s - before the internet was mainstreamed and before Arla foods bought "Karoline's Køkken". Were those "the good old days"?

Here is the original recipe

4 apples, peeled, cut into wedges - here I used MacIntosh
1 cup of chopped, slivered almonds
½ cup of flour
½ cup of sugar
1 stick of butter, soffened
2 eggs




Chop the almonds



Mix with flour, sugar, butter and eggs.

Peel and slice the apples and put into a greased pie form.



Spread out the dough on top of the apples so that all the apples are about equally covered.

Bake in a pre-heated oven at 415F for 30 minutes.



Serve warm with whisked heavy whipping cream on the side (I do not add any sugar to the whipping cream).
