Everyday I try to decide what to blog about and sometimes my brain is sleeping. Sometimes, the creativity is oozing out my ears, well today is one of those days. I could save them up and use them throughout the rest of my 365 days, but whats the fun in that? Besides, I need to make room for other things, so here goes. For one day only...3 ideas in one blog!
Idea number one...I got this at the Goodwill for 1.99 and tried a few different ideas. It was going to be a Christmas decoration, then just a general home decoration and finally I settled on Halloween. I painted it green and got a monster! He is a cute monster and looks great on my table with some of my other holiday decor.
Idea number 2 is costume related. I am not a store bought costume person, I have to make it or it's no fun for me. So over the years I have had many unique costumes. My go to costume is Cyndi Lauper. Heck, at least a quarter of my wardrobe fits into her style. I like the bright colors! I have also been Dolly Parton, Velma from Scooby Doo and Minnie Mouse just to name a few. Last year, I think, was one of my most imaginative costumes. If anyone has ever watched the Carol Burnett show, they will understand this costume. I was Scarlett O'Hara. The crazy curtain rod creation by Bob Mackie (my fashion idol). Not everyone got it, but it was fun! The only drawback was maneuvering around the bar. Although it was easy to make sure that no one intruded on my personal space.
Idea number three today is about food. I love to cook! My husband is a lucky man, if I get inspired, he reaps the benefits. Now, I did take a picture, but I think more practice is need in food photography. The next recipe I will have a good photo. Occasionally when I go to the grocery store, I pick up an ingredient that sounds good, but I may not have a recipe for yet. About a month ago, I bought coconut juice. Then a couple of days ago a recipe popped into my head. How about rice with the coconut juice? I made the rice, but used the juice and a little vegetable stock to cook it in. While the rice cooked, I diced half a small red onion, also diced about 12 mini carrots and then sauteed them in a bit of oil, tossed in a little salt and white pepper and a dash of sugar. Next I had some dried pineapple, about a handful, chopped them up and added to the carrots & onion. I tossed this mixture into the rice when it was finished. Yum! I also had some Cajun shrimp that I had from a takeout and put them on the side. A little sweet & spicy flavor, it was awesome!
