This prompt could be interpreted several ways and I opted for autumn spices. This festive cocktail recipe, tucked away in my stash, comes from Dan Cregg and Kathryn Scinto who were the former owners of Quench Wines in Patchogue, NY. Kathryn and Dan taught John and I a lot about wines. We found them bothContinue reading “Spicy cocktail”

Cinnamon roll
Ok, this project or challenge to complete a food related item every day in October is making me hungry for the things on the list. And I am trying to behave. But Cinnamon Rolls? Good thing there’s not a bakery near me. The inspiration for this illustration came from my sketchbook…
Chestnuts
Oooo I can’t wait until chestnuts start coming to the supermarket. Roasting them at home is well worth it.
Apple pie
This one was a lot of fun. What’s better than homemade apple pie except, maybe pumpkin pie.
Maple tart
The prompt for today is maple tarts. We use Costco’s Maple Syrup. Maple tarts aren’t vegan but I use maple syrup in a lot of vegan recipes. You can’t beat Costco’s price either.
Figs
I actually had to go to Publix to buy figs for reference. Not that I am complaining. Figs are good for you, like dates. I wish I had a fig tree. I love when you get a cheese platter at a cafe and they have figs on the platter. Hmmmm…I think I’ll go grab aContinue reading “Figs”
Mulled Wine
One of wintry beverages made for cold nights is mulled wine. You can buy the spices in a spice bag or packet at a specialty shop, wine store or sometimes the local supermarkets have them. It’s perfect for sipping by a hot fire or when you attending an outdoor autumn/winter gathering. When I think ofContinue reading “Mulled Wine”
S’MOREs and Live Critter Sunday
Well I am still hanging in there. Day 3 and it looks like I am hanging with the THEY DRAW AND COOK list so far. I am know some folks are looking for the Little Witch Series and that is going on in the background. I just haven’t decided how or when I want toContinue reading “S’MOREs and Live Critter Sunday”
Pumpkin Latte
The favorite beverage of the season isn’t just plain jane old coffee and tea. No. It has to be dressed up with frills, flavors and a lot of calories. Every time I go to Starbucks, or I go to the app to do an order for coffee, I think of Tom Hanks in “You’ve GotContinue reading “Pumpkin Latte”
Inktober, Drawtober, Artober, TheyDrawtober, Drawlloween…whatever
It’s October…again…and that must mean it’s time to do art! Ink, pencil, paint, digital. You name it, you’ll see it this month. I am not sure who really started the whole October challenge. Inktober was started as a way for one artist, Jake Parker, to challenge himself and his friends. Drawlloween was a way MabContinue reading “Inktober, Drawtober, Artober, TheyDrawtober, Drawlloween…whatever”
