What, in your opinion, is the best piece of art you have ever created? Show us a picture.

 

It might be this…

I got some positive feedback on this picture from a sculptor who shall remain nameless; in the form of "I'd like to sculpt a dragon like that".

Hel....theee? What is this strange foreign word that you speak of?

 

 

As for this weekend, I'm likely to be 3D printing before things get really cold and snowy this weekend.

It changes, but lately it is this:

Those veggies are from one of those steamable microwaveable frozen plastic bag gadgets I was on about previously in this thread. 
 

They are pre-seasoned, sauced, and all you gotta do is zap, dump contents on plate, and eat. 
 

Next best thing to a Starfleet food replicator.

Been using our new super-charged pressure cooker to make ribs! Then throw them on the grill or broiler for about 5 minutes to brown them. Various rubs or marinades in the cooker. Then using the new air-fryer to make some type of squash and potatoes to go with the ribs...

Plans for tomorrow include a trip to Searcy for some shopping and lunch, Sunday is Church, then after the Afternoon Service, we're gonna steam clean the carpet in the Auditiorium.

 Anything that I'd consider to be one of my better pieces of physical art would have been something I never took a picture of, because I mainly practice ephemeral art - the things I made are made to disappear... My art generally involves stacking rocks or sculpting statues of angels out of snow, making animals out of the tin foil I wrapped my lunch in, etc...

 

Miniature-wise, the best thing I've done was less about the quality of the work than the intention behind it, which obviously would be Little Guindyloo Who.

 Hrmm... I don't know that I have a particular favorite, but I'm sure it involves chicken. Since I often make a big pot of white rice with chunks of roasted skinless chicken breast, onions, peas, carrots, corn and string beans, and never really get tired of eating it, I suppose that's my favorite "healthy" meal.

 

This weekend is dedicated to house and yard work.

Favorite healthy food would be any scratch made soup.  Can be chicken and veg, potato/leak, tomato and rice...  Not only the smells, especially if making beef or chicken stock from scratch before you get the soup, has the house smelling like the thing of miracles for days...  Add some fresh bread (I'm a horrible baker sadly...) and I could die happy. 

 

This weekend I will continue to nurse the flu that my wonderful son brought home from school last weekend...  I was fine until after handing out the goodies to the visiting ghouls and monsters and thought I was going to fall over.  I think that plus some light house reno-related cleaning will take care of any potential energy I may have.

I like homemade soup and that's kinda healthy isn't it?

 

Got a couple craft fairs to go to today, tomorrow is a lazy day of hobbying hopefully.

I'm not a "healthy" food Guy. The only requirements for eats is that it tastes good & doesn't make me sick.

That brings me to the Bonus Question: the only thing on the agenda is a trip to The Flying Pig for breakfast/brunch. They make some amazing breakfast dishes.

I'm still working on that. Since my health issue in June, I've been working on trying to eat a low sodium diet. That requires a lot of  thought and experimentation on how to continue to make and eat old favorites without the meal having enough sodium for 4 people.

 

Bonus: hopefully doing some hobbying; I really need to de-stress.

Probably barbecued pork chops. Nice and simple with just a sprinkle of salt on them.

 

Was planning on chasing cattle around getting ready for winter but it's raining right now and predicting a storm tomorrow. So at the moment I'm deleting games and unnecessary files to get some more space on my laptop while listening to various history and news videos on youtube. Plan on playing some games with the kids later.

I like hummus a lot. I guess maybe just Mediterranean and Middle Eastern foods in general.

 

 

I am probably going to spend the weekend cleaning and putting up a bed tent to prepare for the winter. This will be a task as we have an old waterbed frame as our current bed frame. I had never heard of one until last week. They are supposedly good for the winter to keep the heat in. And since I am allergic to wood smoke and thus cannot use our wood stove and the fact we have a sliding glass door in the bedroom we could use anything to keep the heat in. Picture of bed tent below.

Salad with arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, and tuna with olive oil, slight squeeze of lemon juice and just a dash of salt. Great big glass of water to wash it down.

Not eating healthy. 😛 Took mom out to the stores for errands, we brought back a pizza and garlic knots from my favorite local pizza joint. I've got a list of other stuff I want to get done, but will probably just do the classics like laundry, cleaning the bathroom and resting for the upcoming week. If I feel ambitious I'll attempt the rest of the list. It has to get done before I can attempt any hobbying (which I have done none of this year... except for adding more to the collection).

What do you consider health food? I like food, most of it is healthy in moderation.  Lately I've been enjoying various flavored nut mixes. There's one soybean and cashew mix with soy and sesame I like, and tonight I'm eating honeyed almonds and cranberries. 

 

Today was game day. Most of our group was able to gather and play for the first time since mid August.

Heal...thy...?  Not sure I understand the question, so I'll answer with a nice thick beef stew.

Prepping for armageddon is what it feels like, but it's more just doing some additional tidying up before parents visit next weekend (not really looking forward to it, especially being endlessly carted around to various places including restaurants), but I do plan on getting in some oil painting (finish up a few Termagaunts) as well as break in my new Fabriano 1264 Mixed Media 200gsm 9x12" sketchbook, my Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils, as well as my Polycromos colored pencils.  Maybe even break in the RGG wet palette I've had for three-four months now too...
