Recipe video above. Lentils and roasted eggplant (aubergine) is such a great combination - especially when you infuse the lentils with flavour by cooking them in a seasoned broth, and you try my method of roasting eggplant so they stay plump and juicy inside with great caramelisation on the outside! (For more roasted eggplant uses, visit this roasted eggplant recipe).Great to serve at a brunch as a main - it holds up well for hours. Serve warm, or at room temp. Serves 3 to 4 as main, 8 - 10 as a side.
Getting close to the end of this 32x48 oil on canvas. A quick video of some close ups of the last adjustments and details on this painting .. I’m feeling a super excited and motivated to get moving...
Recipe video above. This is a recipe for how to roast eggplant in the oven so each piece is plump and juicy on the inside, and beautifully caramelised on the outside. As oposed to a mushy mess, or shrivelled up and dismal! The key is: large pieces and high oven temp.Eggplant is actually really bland when raw, but it completely transforms when roasted. You don't need anything more than salt and pepper, but I've added some suggestions!

I think more than anything else, people ask me how I do my crayon method of quilting. I thought I had explained it many times, but perhaps once more is needed for understanding. I have done several of these quilts. Some have had borders and some not. Some even had trapunto. Lately, I have been just making up a design on paper and doing rather simple things. I think the addition of buttons add a lot and maybe the quilts look fancier because of them, who knows? So, I will try to explain the method again. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures to go along with all the directions. First, take a plain white sheet of paper and make a design that is pleasing to you. Make sure that you have used most of the paper because any areas left unsewn later, might gap. Do your drawing to scale. (In other words, make the drawing as big as you want your crayon quilt top to be excluding any borders you might want to add later.) This is mine. I called this one, "Bloomin'" Note that I left several areas with circles. I do circles to represent where I will place my buttons later although sometimes I do color those spaces too. When you are satisfied with your drawing, go over it with a black sharpie pen. This is so you will see the design through your white fabric. Now, iron and cut a piece of white fabric 1/2 inch bigger than your drawing. (Lengthwise and widthwise). This is in case things are not exactly even when you are done quilting it. When you are done, take your fabric and lay it over the darkened drawing, making sure the drawing is centered. Now, trace your design onto your fabric lightly with pencil. When you are done, take a piece of freezer paper the size of your fabric and iron the shiny side of the paper to the backside of your traced design. This is to give the fabric the stability to color on it without the fabric wrinkling. Using your Crayola crayons (at least that's the brand I use), color the fabric staying in your penciled lines. When you are satisfied, remove the freezer paper, and take the colored piece to your ironing board. Cover it with a cheap piece of muslin and without going back and forth, iron the piece section by section until you smell wax. This is making the crayon a permanent part of the fabric. If you want to add borders, now is the time to trim the front and add them because the next step is to make a quilt sandwich. I use a free motion (or darning) foot and use #30 weight black thread to outline my drawing once I have everything together. (I use 505 spray adhesive, so no need to worry about pins.) And when I'm done, and have added my buttons, it looks like this: This is one of two with flowers that I did recently. The other one I sold to the craft coordinator for Blumenthal Lansing Co. (The biggest button distributor in the world). It will be on display in their booth at the quilt show in February so look for it there. The one above was done for a swap. It's already sent, but the recipient hasn't gotten it yet. Won't she be surprised? I made one more for that swap. It's not my usual style to be sure, but I thought I might be able to fool the group into thinking it was someone else'. I was wrong! I called this one, "Touch of Asia." Check out that 1/8 inch straight line quilting. I thought I'd never get done!! Good thing I have a big stash of white thread, huh? So, that's the scoop for today! Not much else new here! Until next time.....

Recipe video above. This is a bread loaf made without yeast or any other non-standard pantry ingredients. It's as close as you will get to real bread made with yeast! It has a proper crumb like real bread and it's sliceable, rather than being "muffin-like" which many no-yeast breads are. Loosely based on Damper, a traditional Australian bread historically made by swagmen and drovers over campfire (except I've brought it into the 21st century!) Toggle for METRIC (weights).

Recipe video above. This is how to make a pork roast with tender juicy flesh, with a crazy-crispy crackling! The crackle is bubbly and puffy from edge to edge as it should be, rather than an impenetratable rock hard flat sheet of skin or worse still, littered with rubbery patches.And the gravy is to die for, thanks to the flavour loaded roasting pan juices!KEY STEPS: Use pork shoulder, dry skin, no need to score (but if it's already scored, that's ok), salt the skin evenly, slow roast low uncovered, keep the skin surface level using foil balls, and blast it for crispy skin! Read the post for extra tips, step photos, and why this recipe works!

I got this shot thanks to my brother Steve. It was taken up at his cabin near Talkeetna. Steve, had spent a fair amount of time letting the ermine get used to him. They are pretty fearless little animals. He asked me if I was interested in getting some ermine shots. Of course, I said, Yes! This is one of quite few shots that I got. Ermine's are Short-tailed Weasels. They turn pure white in the winter, except for a black tip on their tail. They are extremely active and very quick. THANK YOU, EXPLORE!!!!
