Welcome August open thread

   



Ah, after the festivities with summer we continue our summer!




















Olaf doesn't realize he's being separated, not impaled 
this time!






So hot even a bear will go to every length to stay cool 
and refreshed.  He can have the horse trough or any pool.





As summer is in full swing,  something in the back of our minds
knows the days grow shorter after Midsummer's Day.

One more road trip coming up, see the sights and places on your list.





Grab a coffee or more on the way. A caffienated driver is better
than a sleepy one.










If you have no place to go, have unlimited cheer and coffee or tea with 
us!  This is the place, the same site always open 24/7. What happens here
stays here!














As a creative person would say,


Bring your journal or sketchpad.  Draw that first flower, 
or write about it. Is it lonely, or with many other flowers?

Is it in the forest or in a meadow?











My story is nearing the finish.  Finally at the Epilogue, or the final thought, speech of my main character.  His task was complete, but there is another to move on to the next trilogy. I have the 4th book outlined so far.

Research is essential, or readers will pick up on that.








Wizard of Oz...nostalgic and takes us away







No matter where you go....






Keep on with your projects, stay busy and focused 
no matter what.  Be calm in the storm, be focused
and live, live well in health and wellness and spirit!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Everything (But the Bagel) Salmon

Everything (But the Bagel) Salmon

This recipe was born out of a conversation with my neighbor and friend Marna, who mentioned that she loves using Everything But the Bagel spice mix on roasted vegetables and other dishes. I was intrigued. A few days later, while preparing baked salmon, I opened my spice drawer and there it was, my own jar of Everything But the Bagel seasoning staring back at me. I thought, “Why not?”

I sprinkled it on the salmon, squeezed some lemon, and popped the salmon in the oven. It was amazing! One spice jar and a wonderful blend of flavor, and a new favorite dinner was born.

" Everything But the Bagel seasoning "

The spice mix is made up of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, dried onion and garlic flakes, and salt. Simple, crunchy, and packed with flavor.

    Yields 4 servings.

    Ingredients:

    • 4 salmon fillet slices 
    • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
    • Everything But the Bagel spice mix 
    • Fresh lemon juice

    Directions:

    Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Drizzle lightly with olive oil, sprinkle generously with Everything But the Bagel seasoning, and finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Bake for 12-15 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets, until the salmon is just cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature with rice or a fresh salad.
    Enjoy!
