Blue Eyes ~ Happy PPF !

Hello!

Couldn't think what to paint for yesterday's Paint Party Friday and so, once again, I had a look through some old journal pages and "Blue Eyes" is what I'd like to share this week.
I painted her back in 2014:

At home, in the kitchen...

Hello!

Sometimes it's nice to chop:

... I do a lot of thinking - when I chop.

It's nice to have the time.

I'm thankful, and grateful.
I love the funny little shapes our homegrown carrots come in!

Update 21st June 2017:  I forgot to show another cute invention by my dear hubby  -  easy on the wrists... made especially to suit my groovy fingers ... ah, finger grooves ;D) Thanks Debbie you prompted my memory in your comment:
I love my personalised chopper!



... stirring is good too - I'm good at that [wink]


So, I chopped and stirred today and we had some vegie soup for lunch:
With a nice, warm, buttered roll each

Can't forget the chookies... they love their boiled up mash from all the peelings:


I wanted to make some baked apples (we've still got lots from our backyard harvest):

I usually stuff them with raisins (and brown sugar and butter), but as I'm not so good on keeping track of what's in the pantry (can't think why ;D)) ....  I didn't have any raisins.

My Pantry ⤵️
Can't believe I'm sharing the contents of my disorderly pantry with everyone!

However, as I was also thinking ... while chopping... there's much, much, more (sadly) important things going on in the world than the state of my pantry, isn't there. 


... so I used prunes instead...

... turns out, prunes were even better than raisins (or sultanas) - they melted into a delicious, luscious tasting filling.   Topped with cream, mingled with the oozing butter, the sweet apples - it was pretty good.

There's always room for some comfort food isn't there

A little scene which I hope gives you a nice peaceful feeling ðŸ’•
