Tonight we are heading to our friend Krishnan's for a painting party. No, not walls, canvases! Well, Krishnan thinks his friends might have some artistic talent lurking somewhere inside of us, so he presented the idea of a night of watercolors and acrylics. I have to admit that I don't paint; that is more my sister's forte. I am more of a sketch artist, dabbling in charcoals, pastels and pencils. But I thought it would be fun to maybe combine some of those media into an interesting piece tonight, so we'll see what happens. Perhaps I'll take a few pics to post here on the blog if it comes out looking okay.
Last night I made Cincinnati Chili for dinner, one of my all-time favorite dinners. If you have never had it, you need to go out right now and get a spice packet. It's a really really easy dinner to make so you have no excuse. Well, you have an excuse if you don't live in an area that sells the Cincinnati Chili spice packets. But still, try to find it (or go to Skyline Chili if you have one around) because it is YUM! I make it vegetarian (with the Boca Ground Beef Crumbles or the Morningstar Skillet Ground Beef) and it comes out just as good as (if not better than) the meat version. I believe that Skyline Chili restaurants are serving a vegetarian chili option on their menu now. 'Bout time!
Has anyone caught any of the PBS "Black History Month" specials in the last few weeks? They are typically on Wednesdays, but I guess this was the last week for them. Last month, they did a whole "Jews in America" weekly special that Adam and I really got into. I told him February was for "my people" so he's been watching the specials this month with me :-)
Hope everyone is well and have a good night.
