Welcome August, Summer's On

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: Chocolate cherry pie

Chocolate cherry pie

CHOCOLATE CHERRY pie.(photo credit: HENNY SHOR)

Yields one 8” or 9” round pie.

Ingredients

1 graham cracker pie crust

1 250 ml. container of whipping cream

250 grams dark chocolate

2 tsp. raspberry or cherry liqueur

20 cherries, pitted

Directions

If you buy a ready-made pie crust, great – but if you have some brownies in the house, you can crumble them up and then press the crumbs down on the bottom of a round pan. In a small pot on low heat, pour in the whipping cream and break up the chocolate, adding it to the pot. Stir occasionally for the next 6 minutes until it’s melted and smooth. Shut off the heat and add in the liqueur, mixing it in with the melted chocolate. Pour this over the pie crust and let it stand for 5 minutes. Then add the cherries onto the ganache and place the pan in the fridge to cool for at least 3 hours.

Enjoy

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Hawaiian Crockpot Chicken

HAWAIIAN CROCKPOT chicken. (credit: HENNY SHOR)

Crockpot usage: Surprise, surprise! Using a Crockpot, which we often associate with winter meals, actually keeps the kitchen cooler than using the oven or stove. Slow-cooked dishes can be just as delightful in the summer, especially when paired with fresh, light sides and salads.

Yields 4 servings.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 can of pineapple chunks with juice (400 ml./14 oz.)

3 Tbsp. honey

1 Tbsp. soy sauce

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

2 Tbsp. cornstarch

2-3 cloves garlic, crushed

1 frozen cube of crushed ginger (or 1 tsp. fresh grated)

Garnish: green onions (scallions), sliced

Directions

Place the chicken breasts on the bottom of the Crockpot. Over a small bowl, drain out the juice from the can of pineapple chunks, set the can with pineapple chunks aside. Add the honey, soy sauce, vinegar, cornstarch, garlic, and ginger to the bowl and stir until well combined. Pour this over the chicken in the Crockpot, then add the pineapple chunks on top. Cover the Crockpot and cook on low for 3-4 hours. Serve over cooked rice, or sesame noodles (recipe follows) and garnish with chopped scallions.
